Player Commendation

[Ryuko]

You cannot give others commendations if you queued as a group, so it's possible that the people you've encountered have queued as a group and cannot give commendations out.

Not only that... but I've noticed that tanks tend to get a LOT of commendations if they don't mess up. I've been queuing with my tanking friend (as a healer) and he gets the majority of the commendations, even though I am doing my job just fine AND dpsing with decent gear. I think people appreciate a tank that really knows what he or she is doing because that means the run will be smooth. The player reputation system is supposed to encourage good sportsmanship, kindness, and education... but I feel it is interpreted more as an MVP system. (They actually changed the name from MVP because they didn't want it to be interpreted that way.)

I've been doing PVP all day and you can do a commendation at the end, but most people just skip it. People seem to prioritizing speed since DF hooks you up pretty quick. If those are the runs you mean, then don't take em too hard.

got 2 in my 1st roulette

[Rosekitten]

Got 0 thus far but I had a pretty er.. none talkative group to be honest. I tried to be friend and ask if anyone needed the fights explained and was more or less told to shut up >_> Guess there will always be assholes heh.

[Zezlar]

Tanks by far have the advantage here because people don't actually go through the list. They just hit the first person they see (which is always a tank).

[FJerome]

Is it possible to do it for a failed run or for an incomplete party? We got a really helpful and patient tank walking us through a dungeon today and I'd have liked to vote for him but we timed-out at the last boss and people left.

Nope, you just get kicked out as usual.

I personally have given my commendations to dps who seemed to be on the ball. The tanks I've been paired with today have either demanded the commendations or been generally arrogant

Wait. Tanks have DEMANDED commendations? What on Earth makes them think people can be bullied into giving them something that is supposed to be given to nice, helpful people?

I've given 12 or so DF's fast runs with no errors and not one person has provided me with a commendation, despite friendly demeanor and thanks at the end. Fast as in under 13 minutes, lacking a blm to sleep or a smn to bind.
