    Completely disregarding the system before it's managed to really exist very long is just the hyperbolic nonsense that plagues almost all discussion about MMOs. DPS who talks or explains things is going to be more likely to have their name clicked than a silent tank or healer.

    One issue with it is you can't commendate someone if they leave the dungeon at the end. What's the point of that? Is there some big fear of AFK'ers receiving commendations or something?

    I'll say I don't necessarily like the system as it is. I thought it would be it would be something optional, rather than a guided system. That gives it a lot better value than "Hey commend someone quick" at the end of every dungeon. It'd be nice to see some context on why the person is being commended as well. I understand it's a pretty simple system, but maybe that will work out in the end. Just be polite and slightly social and you'll probably get commendations, I don't think it's very complex.

    Probably because once you leave the dungeon, the instance server has no way of tracking you down. I wouldn't be surprised.

    I would have loved it if we are given the vote option only after we exit the dungeon. And then it gets delivered to us with a message popping up, similar to the notification when someone buys our items on the market board.

    I don't like how we have to stay at the end and never know if people have already given their commendations, or are just being slow. So I've always just left after the coffer has been rolled---and when the coffer contains something I can't roll anyway, I just leave. Supposedly tanks will be swimming in commendations anyway, they say.
