Heals, DPS, and comms

[Ferrasper]

Mayhap this is just my own personal pessimism acting up, but rewards for bad behaviour only serve to beget more bad behaviour. Commending a DPS who ran ahead of the party to engage on the next pack of enemies simply tells them that such a thing is desired activity even though it is disrespectful to the wishes of the tank and, often as not, to the rest of the party, in addition to potentially placing the group in a dangerous situation by forcing the tank to become involved in a situation they avoided specifically because they were ill-equipped to deal with it. There is a very good reason that some tanks and healers have adopted the policy of, as goes the popular saying, "You spank it, you tank it." Myself and my static healer included.

Not that kind of bad. More of the dps wasn't the best, and they screwed up and died a little because they didn't see the AOE in time bad.

Ah. Apologies for mistaking your intent, then. Personally my commendations sit unused for every few runs as people oft fail to impress or outright disappoint me, though I'm not afraid to commend a DPS who was indeed a boon to have.

I don't see coms as a reward to give people if they impressed me or not. They are more less here you go because they are overall useless gear wise. The only thing it gets you is a mount really.

Accordingly, I give this minor reward to players who impressed me over those who did not.
