Commendation System: So who get's your vote?

[givemeraptors]

After rolling as a few more classes:

It depends on what I'm playing. As a fairly new healer I almost always give it to the other healer because I feel bad for them having to pick up my slack. On the other hand, in a 4-man it depends on a lot of things. If the tank was excellent and pulled massive mobs and kept them off me as I spammed cure/physick whatever. If the DPS slept mobs or just killed them super fast.

Helpful people almost always come first. Humor is a + as well.

Lots of things to consider.

Commendation system is sort of broken. If I go into a dungeon with someone else in my PT, we can receive commendations, but can't give them. That seem backwards to anyone? SE's solution to "we don't want people giving commendations to other people that they queued up with" is to just not allow them to give commendations at all.

How about just make the commendation pop-up window only show people you did not queue up with?

I asked the very question, why isnt possible to give commendations to people not in your party?

[Cons]

I give to both the exceptional and the unfortunate

[LalaRu]

I will give them after excluding:
- id***s (yo armor is LOL I'm teh best!)
- elitists (omg a noob! votekik! I leave!)
- bisches (fudging tank! l2aggro! / Where is teh healer? / Yo dps too low! l2dps!)

Then IF someone still commendable , I'll go by sympaty, if tank, I'll be grateful to the healer who kept me alive, if cannot decide, I'll wait until there is only one to commend

Tanks
Hold aggro? Marking enemies? Know the mechanics well, or listen to someone who did? Stop and wait for people or just run thru? (This includes waiting for players to catch up or recover MP/TP.) Did you ask if we were capable of pulling the entire room, or just do it and hope for the best?

Healer
Anyone die? Remove debuffs? Know when to use certain spells? Pull to much hate? Did you help DPS or did you just stand in the background doing nothing but casting Cure every 10 seconds or so...?

DPS
Know fight mechanics, what to attack and when? Attack the targets in the order the tank marked them? Did you work with the team or do your own thing? Did you pull mobs instead of waiting for the tank to do it? Ranged DPS stand so close that they got hit with debuffs or had to run away to dodge? Did the right person LB at the right time, or even use LB at all? Know your rotations and deal good damage?

Healer
Anyone die?

I hate this one. I've noticed when I'm the healer, if someone dies, I normally get no commendations. When it's my fault, okay I understand that. But usually it's because of them refusing to dodge, or lagging that gets them killed.

"Yes Mr. DPS, I see you there at less than 50% health, but the tank is currently taking a beating and if he dies, we all die. So don't get hit by avoidable attacks until I get a chance to cure you." I should really make a macro with exactly those words lol. Because it's so easy for bad/new players to blame the healers for their deaths, when in my experience it's usually their own fault.

im a tank, and most time ill give my vote to the heal. But, when he/she is an elitare, "noob" cryin`A**hole, then the vote goes to in my opinion well workin dps

[Bahd_Monkey]

As a dps, unless someone does something exceptional, I'll commend the other dps.

When I go in with a small pre made party. I always tell the other players that we are in a party and can't commend them. I don't want them to think we are being rude, or didn't appreciate their help.

If members of a pre made party can't give commendations then maybe they shouldn't be able to receive them as well. And their names would be greyed out or not listed in the commendation window. That way non party members will know exactly what is going on. (Just my opinion)

why isnt possible to give commendations to people not in your party?

Currently when players form a pre-made party of less than 4 players and jump into the Duty Finder to fill up the remaining slot, those in the pre-made party are unable to give commendations to the player who joined via Duty Finder, even if they've done a great job! While the restriction against vote commendations for pre-made players will remain, the team is looking to allow everyone to vote on those who joined via Duty Finder in around the release of patch 2.3.

So always be sure to thank your new comrades in arms for a job well done!
