Ok be honest...

[Risvertasashi]

Have you ever kind of lingered around after a raid or party before exiting in the hopes or chance you get more comms from people to let them vote.

Occasionally if I feel I was the better healer of the two i'll kind of cast on loot, do a random buff or change AST sect like "la la la busy busy busy..."and exit when enough time has passed and i'm not the last one.

Guilty as charged. I'm a sucker for comms >.>

I'm not even on my original ARR character and... hm, I don't remember if I've broken 2k comms, but definitely a few hundred over 1.5k at least.

I feel the best way to get commies is to interact just enough to stand out, and of course do your job effectively. Try creating a unique macro to introduceyourself, I point out I'm a Lala and that I'm cute, then I point out any other lalas in the party. If we are all lalas I say the cuteness is over 9000, lol. Also add joke macros, if you mess up have one that expresses disappointment in yourself, as a joke. Try a simple but funny macro for some skills, like raise, goad, trick attack. Something that stands out but doesn't feel spammy. And add in some personal macros for everyday things, for those bits of down time when someone goes afk. I have one where I pickpocket a "fallen" ally, one where I die of embarrassment, and one where I throw gil at them to umm... shake it, lol.

I mean I'm just about 200 shy of 5k, so I must be doing something right. Lol

Curse you phone spell check. Though correcting lalas to koalas was cute, lol

I find most players are like typical consumers:
*you will hear complaints before you hear praise.
*most are not paying attention to your performance until you screw up.
*players will literally give a commodification to the last name that sticks in their memory.


*commendation, not "commodification"

[IsbellDL]

Of course I stick around a little. If you race out of there, you've got no chance for commends. Usually, I wait for gear to be distributed & leave when people start walking to the exit.

I'll give a commendation right after the fight ends because I've already made up my mind about who was good enough. Being bog standard at their job doesn't get them a commendation from me, but doing it actually well and not being annoying in chat gives them a chance. I find myself often giving commendations to people I didn't really notice, like some BRD that I never had to heal and never took aggro from the tank. Often times for me, not noticing someone means they're a good player/person, because they're not pissing me off. Or people who make good use of their role abilities, like if everyone is dying and I'm throwing all my MP away on raising them, so some SMN used Manashift to help me out.

Being the last person standing at the exit will not get you a commendation from me, because I know that's why you're still there.

And funny enough, I tend to get them the most when someone's being an idiot and I say some funny comeback. Maybe they just like my name. Though I did get three the other day after Rabanastre because we kept wiping on the same boss and I was insistent on asking what the problem was so we could fix it, and reassuring our alliance that we were fine and we just kept failing because one of the others would randomly just all be dead. And that was even after I lagged out after the last boss fight. I figured I wouldn't get any commendations because I was gone.

And then sometimes you get none even when you thought you did great. Some people just want to get them and never give them.

[Lynesse]

Absolutely. c:

There's no shame in that. I'm not in any rush. I don't take comms too seriously, but it's nice to be acknowledged, and I'm deliberate in giving them out.

[Doozer]

I always find it funny when people do things deliberately to try to get commendations that have nothing to do with performing well, like doing some cutesy macro and emoting at every boss and just trying to see Fun And Likable when they're really just in it for the commendations. Doing stuff like that on purpose makes me want to give them commendations less. Be a normal person and play well and you'll get one.

[DarkDaifuku]

I usually just give the comm to the one I healed the less or a good tank.
I do wait a few second more to see if anyone give comm to me.(Shamefully rise my hand.

[Rongway]

Please use meaningful thread titles.

[Alrin]

I usually wait for others to finish viewing their cutscene and after few seconds i exit the area.

When I fked something and I dont think that I deserve any I just quit and dont wait for anything, because there are ppl that just give comms to healers due to habit or something like that.
