*Of course you're free to commend whoever you want, this is just my take on it*

Personally, I commend whoever I thought gave the most <*effort*> during the dungeon run. This commendation not being based off gear, class, role, play-style (1v1 vs AoE, healing vs using Holy, etc), socialization, or whether or not I 'liked them'. It's not intended to be an elitist attitude ... quite contrary infact..

(EFFORT != SKILL, DPS, MONEY / GEAR, etc etc etc)

-There's many ways to judge effort that aren't 'skill', such as the willingness of a player to improve, adapt, and work with their team.


On the socialization front, I'd urge everyone to consider the following (since many list it as a key criteria):

Consider that there's players from around the world on all servers for FFXIV. Your party may not be your native tongue, nor be socially adept (some have anxiety in speaking to others)..

[ being talkative or friendly does not inherently make you a better team-player ]
