Commendation System: So who get's your vote?

[Ryuko]

If a person is both nice and skilled, they are likely to get my upvote. A good 'player' but bad sport (skilled but a jerk) will never get my upvote.

As far as the commendations I receive...

I tend to get the most commendations when I play White Mage in PvE and Summoner in PvP. When people are equally skilled and equally helpful, I notice tanks are most likely to get a commendation (judging from my experience playing with a tank), unless the fight is particularly hard on the healers.

However, you can't give commendations to people who leave really fast... so those who aren't getting commendations should linger for a few seconds to see if they get one.

Regretfully, there has been someone out there that left right before I was able to commend them, because I was asking if anyone was on my Server so that I might Friend them. Now I make sure to vote people before I continue to socialize. But yes, I agree, people who would like to receive commendations should wait a little before exiting the dungeon.

Hello!

During the creation of the Player Commendation system was being created, we planned to make it so you could vote for people even if they are no longer in the instance. However, we had to drop this from patch 2.1 as it involved making core system changes to the game itself. We are continuing to look into whether or not we can implement this in the future.

Could simply add a message with the check option of "Never showing this again" that simply states "Are you sure you wish to leave the instance without commending a player?" and if they hit yes they leave the instance, they hit no, then they can go commend a player.

Suggestion for the commedation system:

If you enter an instance with your FC members or premade you cannot vote for eachother and that is fair enough.. but.. you cannot vote for ANYONE atm and i don't think thats fair on the other members.. for example, me and 2 other FC members went to CT together.. I recieved 2 commendations from the DF members but i wasn't able to commed the Main Tank who did a good job..

Can you not make it so we are blocked from voting for out premade but able to vote for DF?

this will probably not be seen, would love to see some feedback on it though

I agree. I encountered a good guy (as in, one that is good at their role) but can't commend because I was in a party with my friend.

They really deserved a commendation

Don't worry about it ^.^ players should just wait a bit after finishing to say their farewells, thanks yous and commendations.

making core system changes to the game itself

Could you also please make changes to the loot system as well?

(1) The auto-loot in Crystal Tower must be resolved.
(2) In 2.1, when everyone left and I am the only person to then open a coffer, I still had to wait for the full 3 minutes countdown. This should not be the case.

Ideally why not let us receive items in the mail or simply drop it on us even if we have left the instance? Often there are people who don't roll and it's quite a waste of time to have to wait for them. More people are rolling now thanks to having the GC provisions window fixed, but there could still be cases when we are wasting time waiting around.

Classic considering by the time you have finished watching the end cut scene the player/s have left,so I am basically voting for thin air....

[Shinalia]

I'm curious of other players way of thinking on this, who do you guys determine worthy of your vote be it DPS, tank or healers?

I'm generally healer, so I scrutinize tanks. They'll get the hearts if they do well and/or "lead" the party.

Otherwise I give commendations based on incredibly specific criteria.

• Were they friendly? Not just "hello" but do we socialize and joke around to some degree?
• Do they help out the first timers? Do they exhibit patience?
• Subligar always get commendations.
• Do they have an "amusing alias?"
• Is their name LITERALLY "Amusing Alias?"
• Anyone from my FC/LS. This actually happened once purely by random.
• Did they invent a particularly creative sob story about why they absolutely need commendations? Hey, I like being entertained!
• I once gave a commendation to a tank because he ran in yelling "For Vanadiel!" Nostalgia hearts.

Mostly, how much are you helping me enjoy the game? That's why we're all here after all, isn't it?
