People Need to Start Respecting Healers More

[Calypsx]

Tank>Healer>DPS is usually my commendation order if everyone is playing equally.

I've had to many friends and FC members get discouraged from tanking just because of the people they run into when doing dungeons. There is a big reason there's a lack of tanks and that's due to the role being incredibly stressful thanks to negative player influence.

People need to stop being dicks to new tanks who are still learning. If a commendation at the end cheers them up and motivates them to continue to tank and help others then that's a win in my book.

Hmm... most of my comms are from Monk.
I rarely if ever get any as healer despite helping DPS/Stoneskin/Keeping everyone alive and when I tank they rain in like candy. As for how I comm I tend to reward friendly people or anyone really going above and beyond for their class, sometimes I'm sad I cannot give out more than one but alas you gotta choose.

A tank that doesn't wait all day to pull mobs, chain pulls and also correctly judges by his party how much to pull, is going to get the commendation almost everytime....

I'm genuinely puzzled. I'm not sure what you're talking about. Sort of seems like you're just trying to start something to be honest. I've been nice in my posts besides one post that wasn't even really "mean," and which I apologized for.

Guy apologizes you're sending him to the stake still.
\_(ツ)_/¯
I know this isn't too much part of the discussion.
You know how hard it is for people to apologize on these here forums man?
Not a com, but I gave a like to that post lol. It's something!

I don't really care about commendations enough to "start something" with a random player not on my server. I offered some feedback, you left a rude comment about not reading, and here we are. You pointed fingers at other players, calling them dickwads or people that don't know how to play. These are the parts of your posts I'm talking about.

How about we all respect each other.

No offense but I'm entirely disagree. As for me TANK is not that stressful and hard and that order is nonsense, if everyone play equally I will random to be more fair. No one is special here, in some dungeon mechanic just require TANK sit and aggro boss while others are busy doing other stuff and also same with other role.

What I hate the most is Primadonna TANK & HEALER.

Maybe your friend has also more commendations because he went through duties over duties to level up instead of grinding FATEs and leves.

My experience is completely the opposite, my healer friend has 3x more commendations than me who tanks.

I think it's just a matter of more people being lazy leaving an instance asap and skip giving out commendations.

I am a healer and i barely respect healers lol.
Tanks tanks tanks cuz they r usually the 1st one on my list when i open up the comms window.

I have been farming light / for Zodiac drops on my Whitemage for the last week. On most runs I try to balance solid healing well with DPS and especially in WP normal I have run into some derpy tanks (eg an entire group of Nexus bearers utterly getting lost in the room with patrolling Big Tonberrys. Just how? XD) and generally try to be polite and offer advice if I feel it can be used. I also compliment people if I feel they're doing great. Singing Bards for example are rare, I had an awesome one today, so I told him so.
I sometimes get 1, 2 or even 3 commendations. In the span of the last week I have gotten about somewhere between 100 and 150 commendations from all my farming runs. ._. I'm at about 1430 or so now? Back when I mained Monk I actually still got a lot of them, simply because I try to be a decent person.
On the other hand there also the people that grind my gears and with whom I can clash. Non-singing Bards don't even bother me much. On my top list of people who can just get stabbed by a Tonberry are Tanks who do big pulls but feel using cooldowns are beneath them and therefore never use them and Blackmages / Summoners who see me not healing immediately the 100 hp damage they took (aside from the fact that I keep everyone perfectly alive and safe) and start breaking out the Physicks. THESE people should respect their healers. Tanks we are not here to carry you through and it involves no effort to pop a buff if you pull 4 packs of mobs and Casters, it's cute you try that but I finish casting my Cure and switch back into Cleric stance before you even finish Physick and pick your rotation back up. *rant over* <_<

I do the work of 4 healers in WoD since I'm always raising the other parties and healing both my party and the MT and I am still sitting below 2k comms. It's not the lack of comms that bothers me though, it's the other people who get mad at me saying I'm a terrible healer when I'm babysitting the other parties.
