What are Your Conditions to Commend?

[Archadius]

Personally I like to commend based on any of or a combination of the following:

- Attitude (bad ones get you a big ol' goose-egg!)
- Communcation (social, or otherwise, anything to make repeat content more enjoyable)
- Performance (if you clearly excel at your role, I'll commend)
- Assistance (if you make a suggestion to another player who appears to be struggling, and do so in a constructive and polite manner, gj!)

I don't like when players assign commendations based on class because the DPS always get the short end of the stick. I've played only as a DPS in the DF since commendations were released and I have like... 120 total lol, people just hate on DPS for some reason, especially BLMs. I guess people just think we all sit in the back and do nothing, and all those fireworks are just set off by default :S

For the record, I always say hello, say gj and ty when we win, and also if someone needs help/explanation, I'm happy to do it if I understand their role in the duty well enough. That seems more like common courtesy to me more than something to do for a commendation lol

Nothing about hate, just that some people weight keeping enmity of several mobs or keeping the party alive more than dealing damage. Not saying that tanking or healing is difficult, all roles are easy, but DPSing is way easier.

And then there's what I said in my post, commendations help to encourage people to play more tanks and healers.
