Player Commendation

[Kaizlu]

The window should pop instead of being a side-notification like Loot.

I'm all of giving them but I just forget that they're there.

[Sub-Xero]

Is it possible to do it for a failed run or for an incomplete party?

Nope, you just get kicked out as usual.

Source: Failed Pharos Sirius run earlier today

[Dawning-Blue]

I got ten commendation as a DPS Dragoon

[NefarioCall]

Personally, my default vote is to Tank or Healer,
but any time a DPS does something to set themselves apart, i'd be happy to give them the vote.
Doing something really smart to win the fight, something heroic, or just being a group leader.

I think most groups (at least for the level 50s in the group for both the high level runs and lowbe runs) don't notice it in the corner where the loot box is because I've seen a ton of people not roll on loot in runs. >_<;

No real surprise that a lot of groups don't give anyone votes.. (the loot box bugs me to no end so i click it to make it go away >_> )

[Musashidon]

i got a commendation for my name :3 XD

[LunarEmerald]

I play as dps and I'm surprised at how often people commend me. dps almost always has the easiest job.

[Obysuca]

Yeah, as a tank, I did 3 duty roulettes and got 6 commendations. Tanks probably get the most commendations by default, then healers. Poor DPS get left behind.

This is true lol Ran a few of the new dungeons today with a tank friend, he got 3 commendations, I've yet to get one

The new commandment system is more annoying than anything.

Every time I join a dungeon they spend 5 minutes discussing who is going to commend who so they all get points. When they do that I don't commend anyone, period.

The point of the system is to commend who you feel deserves it the most. If I don't think highly of someone over everyone else in the run, I don't commend anyone. I don't reward average abilities. Now when I que for a run and someone is being helpful beyond the normal, I commend them.

E.G. I qued for Qarn today, having never done it before. There was a blm typing out all the mechanics in party chat, allowing us to 1 shot everything. So I commended him.

[Aegis]

A lot of people are reporting that the Tanks/Healers get most of the commendations. I don't see this as a bad thing.

You want the nice, shiny magitek? Roll a Tank.

Pretty soon we won't be waiting forever on tanks for every DF group. That could in turn lead to a reduction in princess tanks who leave at the first wipe, much less incentive to drop if you're locked out for 30 minutes and won't get insta-party afterwards.

...

Who am I kidding? The general populace avoids tanking like the plague, you could offer them a free relic with every WP run and they still wouldn't take up tanking.
