I got to give you people credit.

This is probably going to upset some die-hard Dps players, but I don't often give any credit to Dps players, because most of them don't deserve it. I'm willing to give credit when credit is due, and when I run across solid Dps I will let them know they are doing a good job and that I appreciate it. However, I'm sad to say that this is extremely rare.

Most of my commendations as DPS were either by being a great guide/help, making excellent use of my supportive/healing abilities and evasion, using LB as soon as possible more than once(never vs last boss if I'm not melee, unless melee is dead), and/or in rarer occasions dealing excellent damage. Sometimes I get the feeling a good bunch of them are because the others didn't do so well.

I'd commend DPS for the same but I'd be lucky to even find someone who'd use LB more than two times in a dungeons entirely on their own., or if most of the ones who do excellent damage weren't morons trying to screw the team somehow. And I definitely won't commend anyone who "strategically" NEVER use anything good. Showing that you can get away with doing less or teetering on the edge of failure will not win me over, it only makes me like you less that the rest of us gotta bust our butts making sure we don't take forever.

It's not to say I'll default to the tank or heals, simply because one kept us alive and the other kept threat. Again, showing that you can get away with less or with teetering on the edge of failure will make me not trust you. Tanks not using CDs to better help DPS kill the mobs and make the healer have a better time, poorly controlling mechanics they are responsible for, or stay at 90~99% threat for no good reason, means you're not getting commended. Healers who focus too much on DPS, neglect to utilize regens/barriers, neglect to even try to dispel DoTs (this one's really bad in Void Ark), tells you to run back instead of reviving you in the middle of the fight, be overconfident and fail to back it up, neglect to top players off frequently, or make it clear that your healing philosophy is DPS#1, then that means you're not getting commended, especially the last one. And if nobody did a good job for no good reason, then commend nobody. I can forgive a weak tank if they've tried, a DPS who wants to be better, or a clueless healer who doesn't give us a hard time for no good reason as I try to help them, and if the rest of the party is straight up terrible for no good reason then I'm commending the aforementioned player.
