    Because dps are the least important role in the game so they by default if you chose to main a dps will have less commendations than a tank main or healer main. Someone has already said why dont you try doing it with a dps that means they are very aware that the dps role isnt important enough to really be commended the game just naturally gave them stronger abilities to do more damage.
    ... Ok, what? Where to even begin. Ok, as a DPS main, I have commendations slightly over half the amount of dungeons I did, and most of those were because of picture macros, my "Holy hand grenade" reference macro during AV runs, talking to people and also because I used my skills like many ignore. People tend to pick tanks and healers because they usually have to wait on them, among other reasons, not because they're more 'important' than DPS. Try using a full team of tanks and healers in recent content and clear through Enrage, since DPS is pointless according to you.

    No, you're trying to scrounge excuses now, and it's becoming more obvious as your posts go on. As someone said before, you're just making it more and more an ego boost for yourself and you're hoping SE strokes that ego by allowing your achievements to give you that false sense people are glorifying your play style.

    See, thats actually not something I do or care about - so thats why I missed it... so I guess there is just no universal rule why commendations are being given out...? mmmh...

    So your examples are two outdated ones and an easy Primal with a very slow enrage? Well then. When I see AS12 and Dun Scaith (Of course, these have to be done before 4.0) done by an all tank and an all healer group, I'll then accept dps is pointless, and then we can remove them from the game entirely and enjoy our 60 minute long dungeons.

    Not only that it should really be "WAR's" not "tanks and healers" xD

    Isn't it always odd though how those who don't actually do any endgame content are the ones to talk like they know everything? Just a trend I've noticed ^^

    Better stick to those dungeons op, coz you know it's easier to pretend you have a clue there :P

    Giving someone commendation is subjective. I have given players who were funny or talked with me a commendation over those that preformed better. I have given commendation to someone who has nice glamour and to those that are kind towards their follow player. The whole giving commendation to someone is silly, we can only reward one player our of the 3/7 party members. If you get a tank that is stance dancing and doing a good job at both roles or a healer that is healing and dpsing very well and dps that is giving it all. Who should I give a commendation? Tanks, because they are rare? Healers, because they preforming two roles or the DPS that is showing you that not all DPS are clueless or lazy.

    Player commendations: After each dungeon, trial and guildhest, you can give 1 player in the party a commendation. Commendation should be given to the most helpful, greatest contributing or most valuable player in the party.


    How can you judge whos is contributing the most, there are no tools to see this ingame. What about if there is more then 1 player that is contributing the most? Lets not forget alot of players just give the commendation to the tank or healer, because they value those roles more then the dps ones. So even if you have a tank that is never using defensive cooldowns, a healer that is not dpsing and just standing there or a dps that is preforming very well, odds are alot of players will still give the tank or healer the commendation, because of the negative stigma that the dps role has.

    I've almost completely stopped giving comms out at all, mostly because very rarely does someone make enough of an impression to deserve one. If you tank without screwing up, thats not deserving of a commendation, thats you performing the basic needs of your job.

    If stuff dies fairly quickly and you avoid avoidable damage, thats not you being an exemplary dps, thats you doing basics. If no one dies, thats not you being an exemplary healer, thats you healing.

    You don't get comms for this. You get comms for being different.
