What are Your Conditions to Commend?

[AdamuKun322]

Here's how I give Commendations.

If I tank, I commend the Healer
If I DPS, I commend the other DPS
If I heal, I commend the tank

[Mayh]

I go into DF intending to commend the other dd because I appreciate their role in the party, especially if they're really good at their job.

If I notice that the other dd isn't maximizing their dps with buff abilities (heavy thrust w/dragoon is a big one) or trying their best then I'm inclined to commend the tank, because they have the hefty task of leading and good tanks deserve commendations.

I do also commend healers from time to time- they are important and needed, and I love them! I guess it just varies in each individual party. Communication is nice, but I don't really need that in the DF. I watch the way that people are playing their jobs.

I'm on my BLM 95% of the time. Which means the other DPS gets my commendation.
I also have a macro that I use at the start of a dungeon. /p Hello, just in case, please do not give me a commendation, I am over 500 :P

If a DPS stands out...then I'll commend the DPS. Tanking can be rather easy ( I am a tank), healing can be rather difficult but if the Healer is just healing, and no DPS, then a tank or DPS will get it.

If I have two dps that stand out...I randomly choose one.

Just say "hi" but if they say absolutely nothing, they do not get my vote. I require so little to be happy....just give me my "Hello!" dammit. ._.

you sound a little mentally hilarious, amigo. if i ever open up my own looney bin, you get free admission on the mean time ill feed you with some of this:

Haai, Ola, Salam, Hola, Ciao, Nihao, Konichiwa, Aloha, Hello, Salud, Halito, Guuten takh, Guten Tag, Γειά!, 안녕하십니까, Salibonani, Bonjorn!, Bonjour, Sawubona.

commend me pls

I'm quite close to 300 Coms right now which is hilarious since i rarely ever Com other people.

you sicken me

I don't like when players assign commendations based on class because the DPS always get the short end of the stick. I've played only as a DPS in the DF since commendations were released and I have like... 120 total lol, people just hate on DPS for some reason, especially BLMs. I guess people just think we all sit in the back and do nothing, and all those fireworks are just set off by default :S

Nothing about hate, just that some people weight keeping enmity of several mobs or keeping the party alive more than dealing damage. Not saying that tanking or healing is difficult, all roles are easy, but DPSing is way easier.

And then there's what I said in my post, commendations help to encourage people to play more tanks and healers.

commend me pls

lol, well I sound even crazier in the abridged version of my comment. But really, if I got some fancy languages thrown at me, you'd probably get my vote.

I don't commend people who use annoying macros with sound effects in dungeons.

No matter how friendly someone is, how useful someone is, how well he plays, the second I hear annoying sounds coming from macros (or 'witty' remarks with a skill), no commendation.

this guy gets it

[KingOfAbyss]

Lol I will still use macros with sounds anywhere where some don't keep attention. and Hallowed ground with sound works wonders with my WHM friend that he has his share of fun with holy ^^

As for the commendations: I always give them, I go with the feel, or If everyone left too fast, the last one.

I really don't care about them, but I do my duty to distribute it before looting the last pieces.

If we went this far and done our task (no speed runners), everyone contributed well.

OH! Found out to whom I dont give: those who are rushy-rushy, just to get their myth and sol cap.

I've got this DRG with title Meat Shield, so I know he's a tank as well. He pulled those that I didn't.

Fne by me, you'll put more stress to me and healer, perhaps killing faster, but I prefer to enjoy the run, at a decent pace.
