Commendation System: So who get's your vote?

[Meimei]

You should always commend the tank. We are the ones who rescue you from your long queue time by deigning to run the dungeon. We are the limited supply, dps are just pawns that kill things for the tanks.

Ignore this one, children. Thou shalt not reward ineptitude and a poor job. Tanks already get spoon fed everything with instant pops - when they suck there's just no excuse.

Always prioritize your DPS, unless they sucked. But you can always just boot bad DPS and get new ones. Good DPS, however, are crucial for your smooth and speedy runs. Try and remember that. ♥

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!

I would much rather the restriction work both ways. If 2 people join the duty finder in a pre-made party I think that not only should they not be able to give a commendation, but they shouldn't be able to receive one from the other 2 players as well.

Purely performance based. I prefer to give rec to new comers that follows instructions well. Tanks if they can hold aggro, keep healer/everyone alive. Healer if they can manage their mana well and dps on the side. I've encountered only a handful of awesome dps that doesn't get hurt a lot and DPS well. If there are none, I give my rec to no one.

I commend based on role. If I play healer, I usually commend the tank unless the Tank wasn't very great or had a bad attitude, then the commendation will go to either of the DPS. As DPS, my commendations always goes towards the healer because the Healer is the true hero of a party. The Healer keeps the entire party alive, while its the party's job to keep the healer alive. A great healer can keep his team kicking, even against a boss after the tank bites it and can still rez said tank to regain control of the fight. I've had it happen to me while leveling my Arcanist and I wish we had the commendation system then.

I usually go to whoever made the run interesting and fun. It's why I play.

This might be a little open for abuse, could have 3 people make a group then have the 4th sign up for a dungeon then try to get him in the DF, all 3 vote him, once he has all commendations he needs, swap around with one of the others.

..Why? If a DF person thinks you did a good job they can commend you, why should they not be able to just cause you came in with someone else?

You're too late on that train. People have been already farming commendations as it is.

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

Pretty much the same here, but the other way around (I'm a healer primarily, so I tend to upvote the tank), unless a DD has done something spectacular or the tank is a jerk. Players who are helpful and friendly get bumped to the top of the list.

Best way to farm commendations is to play regularly, be helpful, don't be a jerk, and don't suck.

I want to know why you can only commend 1 person. This doesn't make any sense, if the whole party did a good job why can't you commend everyone?
