Please stop begging for commendations.

Are people really doing this? *sigh* If I see it i'll activley not give them one, that's for sure.

I shall report you, unless you give me a commendation.

Twelve, am I playing DOTA now? :P

I had originally thought the chocobo would look super awesome. Was really disappointed when it was -just- a crown. But I do like the golden magitek, it's super pretty. It's the only thing that made getting 500 worthwhile. Super easy and fast to get as well. Just be an awesome healer and everyone commends you.

[Odd]

I've been doing guildhest roulette on my BLM, and I almost always commend the other DPS. Guiildhests are so damn easy for all involved. people rarely shine there because they're just that easy. So I commend the dps since I know he/she probably doesn't get commendations that often. I'm not sure if other dps feel this way, but it seems I always leave with one myself.

Almost every group I am in I make an effort to award the person I feel did the best job, regardless of class. My criteria is based off my self-expectations:

Healers: buff and heal please. If you grab agro don't run all over the place. It makes it hard for your tank/dps to get it off you. Have a macro to let us know you are being hit.
Tanks: don't go charging off without waiting for your buffs. Grab agro and turn the mob. Adds happen, keep your eyes on the healer and if you have not told a dps to handle them then be prepared to.
DPS: stay out of stuff, don't try to grab agro from your tank, and help heals if they get attacked.

In addition, if someone has a God complex, or is just a complete arse they will not get a point regardless of how well they play. Nice people DO finish first in my book! Also, if someone is new and takes the time to ask for help and guidance then dern skippy I will consider them for a point if they play well and learn.

I wish people wouldn't leave the dungeons so fast. -_- When you do that, I can't give you a commendation. -_-

[Mykll]

If someone begs for one, I do not give them one no matter what. If they ask nicely to remember the commendation system, without asking for one, that is fine by me. I agree Liaden people leave very quickly and I cannot give them one. Sometimes even before the last chest is given out. If everyone does their job, and I am on a low level roulette, I will tend to give it to a lower level person than a level 50. I do not have a preference of which role to give it to, partly because I can be on any role on any run, and partly because some roles can do their job very well without really standing out. I guess in short I don't follow any rule, I wing it on each run.

I have found that that if i go into a dungeon with most of a party and filling out the 4th spot (almost always for tank) I can't give commendations. So I always feel bad because I've had some really nice and friendly tanks who were fun to party with.

It beats the tank that was pretty mediocre on my friend's first Halatali run who rage quit after pulling the first mob rather poorly and also wiping. The tank just ragequitted.

But... from what I've been told by my more experienced friends, I can't commend them since I'm already in a premade group

[Insidious]

First, I could careless about the commendation system and the fluff that is given with it. That said, you beg for a commendation and I just don't give it to you. Lately, I've just not been giving anyone commendations as there are more and more people asking for a minute or 2 before the run begins making their case for a commendation. It's just pretty gear that serves no purpose, what's the rush?

[Taris9047]

If it is 4 man, we can exchange commendation between tank and heal, and dps-dps. 8 man or more would be a bit more complicated, but most duty finder groups are 4 man except those primals and CT. Of course we can work out in 8 man too.

I always give mine to the DPS. I'm sick of the tank always getting the commendation. I've gone through a few guildhests as a +1 relic Bard with legit new players where the tank didn't bother doing anything and I just tanked as a bard. They still gave the commendation to the useless tank. For that reason I'll always give mine to the other DPS, or the healer if the other DPS is worthless.
