Suggestion for a minor change to comendations

[Soraki-Muppe]

Yesterday I was in a ok CT, I had entered the place with 2 others from my FC. In this CT we got a rather nice dragoon in our group that was very good and social, and if I could I would have given her a commendation.

So my suggestion.
If someone join as a group, let them give commendations to people other then the ones they joined with. I am not asking to be able to give to those I join with, but to be able to reward those random players that did a good job.

I agree with this. There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to vote for people that you didn't queue with. The only reason I can think as to why this isn't already the case is a technical issue with how commendations currently work.

It would be nice to see this in the future!

This is very easy and simple logic. Wonder why developers don't do this.
I am not programmer but I think it is not very difficult to implement, just writing little more code.

Let me explain.. I went into Duty Roulette as > DPS the 1st 20 times
doing the low, high and story line. each time this ended .. i never got any commendations.. sure.. The lot of you would say.. i didn't deserve one cause i suck.

Well don't judge me if you don't know me.. I play well enough to receive a commendation. Hell everyone on a lvl 16 dungeon deserves a commendation it's that freaking EASY. So .. why am i not seeing them? Because commendations usually go to the Tank or Healer : Most of the time a DPS knows they arent getting one.. so they leave the instance b4 a vote can be cast.

I proved my theory correct as i switched to WHM and there is was 15 commendations in a row. SE fix this shit. Soon only Healers and Tanks will have the new Magitek mount. DPS > wont.

Now how do you think this can be fixed? Really, I want your suggestion. The "problem" you are describing has nothing to do with the system, it is fully caused by the behavior of the players, you can't fix that, there really isn't anything you can do about that. I tend to give commendations to tanks, healers and dps alike but I know that it is much easier to get them if you are healer or tank since you stand out more. You just have to live with it.

LOL, i've received 2 commendations as a damage dealer a bunch of times. It's more about being social and not sucking than it is about saving the day, which rarely happens anyway.

Dunno..I play DF roulette mainly as DPS and have received almost 25 commendations by now although I mainly play with my FC so it is not impossible. I myself appreciate all classes, tanks for keeping those nasty monsters away from my glass cannon, Healers for keeping the group and myself alive and vivid and other DPS for taking down the monsters fairly quickly. I do not see how a single class should be above the others because every role has its meaning for a team win. You can't win without tanks or healers but you also can't run a dungeon in a reasonable time without DPS so live and let live.


Most stupid behaviour about commendations I ever had was Duty roulette low level ini: I was added to a Titan fight (not HM but the little Story titan) and entered as BLM. Still having a black screen from loading, I saw the tank posting "look another level 50 char let's see if he is able do dodge". Then during the 1st fight, the bard in the team got hit by a landslide and died. Tank said "one more wipe and I leave this shit team". Next run, he was caught by plumes and I asked him "do you also leave if you fail?" and with no surprise, he did not answer lol. When Titan was dead finally he said "don't forget to place your vote on me since I made this run work". I only though sheeesh wtf is going on with people these days. Beeing a dick and yelling and then asking for commendations? Go get a grip.

I've gotten more on my DPS then when I play my healer (I guess I'm not a good healer? LOL).

I totally agree with this. Aside from going in solo for roulettes, I always join with at least one other person and there have been many times that I would have liked to commend someone DF paired us with.

People would probably abuse it by signing up, synching their queues so they can commend each other.
