    What are Your Conditions to Commend?

    A couple of threads actually made me a bit curious about this question, and I have to wonder how people commend others after a DF run.

    For instance, I actually DF rarely (I prefer just grouping with friends or PF), so when I do commend, it's usually toward someone that is:

    A) Willing to learn/Take Advice

    B) Someone who communicates

    C) Someone who is skillful at the job and/or run

    All three are a huge bonus, but if one fulfills any of the three, I would commend someone. Other than that I would just hold back.

    So what about you all? What are your own conditions to commend others?

    P.S. I try to commend Eos or Selene if either doesn't mess the run up, but doesn't seem possible

    I commend whoever is the friendliest. I don't care if they eat dirt the whole run if they're nice they've got my vote.
    Although if nobody stands out as being friendliest I will then look at performance. And if everyone is a jerk then I don't commend at all.

    I use reverse method, I kick out the one I don't want to commend first. but friendliness is important, such as basic greeting at beginning and end.
    too greedy will get no commend too, such as darklight drop the ilvl 100 drg hit need. (we all works hard to get this item dropped, everyone should get equal chance to lot.)
    ppl don't dodge AoE and repeatedly get hit get no vote.
    ppl who purposely stand in lava and think "oh this is so trolling" get no vote. (please respect healer and their stoneskin...)

    there are lots things to rule out ppl @@: but I always pick one to vote in the end.

    unfortunately, as long as the brd play proper song during the battle will automatically get the vote... this is sad...

    I play my drg a lot, but I did get lots commends tho...

    If everyone is evenly good I usually give it to the other DPS, cause being one I know how stingy people can be no matter how good you play. I don't care much about friendliness, especially when it's obvious why they're so talkative >.>; and especially if 3 out of the 4 people would like to finish a DF run with as little time wasted as possible. Well, unless someone makes me actually laugh irl

    I'm with Nuinn. As a DPS we are often shunned, no matter how well we perform.

    If I am a tank or a healer I will most likely commend the healer or the tank. If I am a dps I will most likely commend the other dps. That of course changes if someone is unpleasant or just really bad at their job and unwilling to take advice.

    This is what I do, too. Makes the most sense for an all around good group. Everyone gets a commendation.

    I commend the person I don't notice. They must be doing something right.

    Sometimes I get so desperate for people to communicate i'll give the commendation to the one person who said "hi" and "gj" because most of the time they'll be the ONLY PERSON who said something. So in other words, type like 2 words, u get that sweet commendation.
