The number of bad players are rising!

Compassion isn't conditional; either you want to help someone just because, or you don't. Like I said, some players have it, others don't. I can tell when people aren't putting forth an effort; when they haven't prepared for content; but that doesn't mean I won't say anything to help them. All that does is hurt yourself in the end. If you can explain a fight or recommend food buffs or a different rotation for their class, why wouldn't you? If helping someone improve really ruins your gaming experience, I'm sorry. If I can help someone, I will. I don't expect every other player to act the same way; that is ridiculous.

Last few times I tried to NICELY offer advice (something like in garuda EX saying "hey if you dont know the pattern I can put a marker on me and you can just follow it to make it easier if you like") I got told to stuff it they pay they will play their way if I dont like it I can piss off. This isnt a one off its quite often too so I just stopped trying its not worth the aggrivation for a casual player like myself who just wanted to have fun.

Believe it or not I'm a helpful guy with a good reputation. Like 200+ of those commendations thingies.

In spite of its intent, I don't think commendations are a surefire way of measuring how helpful you are. I can queue any 4 man dungeon as a tank, only say hi and bye and simply do my job and get a minimum of 2 commendations. If someone is overly helpful with things then sure, that's what I'm going to use them on, but normally whoever stands out as doing their job well if it's mostly a silent group, that's who's going to get mine.

It's not surefire but for the most part players with a lot of commendations are helpful, friendly, solid players. You wouldn't give it to anyone that rage I'm sure.




As for helping players: There's a lot of players that constantly ask for help and never gives any. There are also a lot of hypocrites that sound all friendly and helpful on the forums but in video game reality, aren't really helpful at all. Some players receive help, but then never bother to help anyone. Players are trying to paint players that need help as some poor guy that is physically weak and needs assistance. You got guys that constantly in progress/withdraw duty finders to farm easier yet they considered themselves helpful players.

Or...they boosted in Guildhests, which is actually quite common, sadly. And even then, if you tank or heal you are almost guaranteed 1 or 2 commendations per run, sometimes all three, as long as you just do your job even somewhat competently.

I'm sure there are. I don't really go out of my way to farm them. Haven't done much content in df in a long time. I enjoy pf a lot better since you get to play with players on your server and might end up meeting players that you can actually play with again.
