commendations are really depressing

[Deifact]

because the main reason they gave us this system was so we'd encourage people to be NICE to each other, not 'amazing at their role'.

c'mon, indeed.

I don't know if it's a western/eastern thing but i doubt anyone here actually gives commendations for being nice. Most dungeon finder parties no one even talks to eachother, so what do you have left to gauge people on? How they perform their roles. Unfortunately healer/tank roles are more obvious and easy to gauge so i suspect DPS get shafted a bit when it comes to commendations.

any statistics to back this up?

you suspect, indeed.


on the topic of 'leaving right away'...

I .always. finish a dungeon with at least a quick 'see you around' or something similar. that's more than enough time for people to vote. and if they don't, then they don't. *shrug*

How would I acquire such statistics in a reliable fashion? How could I prove my statistics are valid? Take screenshots of every commendation and my role? How would you know I don't just play DPS badly and such don't get commendations as often as when i play healer/tank?

I wish I could do those things but to be honest it isn't worth spending the time on! I guess what i'm trying to point out is that the feature doesn't seem to work as intended if people don't actually socialise. I love to socialise! But no one talks to me
