commendations are really depressing

[Hanabira]

What are commendations used for? do they group people with high commendations with other highly praised people?

[Ryios]

Some people could just not be pressed to care about commendations as they don't care about the rewards. Personally I see them as an inconvenience. When I enter a dungeon I want it to be over as fast as possible. People abuse the commendation system. They waste 5 minutes at the start discussing who is going to commentate who. Commendations are for people who deserve commendations, not trophies for everyone.

They should just default the system so that if no one commendates anyone it gives 1 to everyone.

No not really. If no one commendates anyone and just leaves, one could assume it was a smooth run and everyone deserves one.

I've kinda noticed a trend really. I need to test it though. On my warrior I rarely get any from other players, but PLD's in my FC seem to talk of getting tons without doing anything besides the job they play.
Kinda makes me sad as I enjoy my WAR far more then running about as a PLD >-<

War is a lot better now, but paladin still mitigates more dmg and still has more utility.

I've ran maybe 7 dungeons since the patch and I've gotten 8. Not a ton, but people do vote for me some times at least. Of course, I'm not allergic to pleasantries and explanations like some people tend to be.

They need to just make the screen auto pop up after the last boss is killed. Some people in end game runs especially always leave without looking at loot or anything because they already have better gear. If the commendation window just popped up, they would be more likely to vote before sprinting for the door.

The first dungeon i did in 2.1, i saw the tiny box in the corner pop up as i was zoning out. i was like wtf was that?

I've gotten two commendations so far. Both were while I was playing SMN. One of the dungeons was Qarn, and the other was Sastasha. In both, there was at least one new person and I helped by explaining the bosses. I think that's why I got commendations.
