Yoshi.. where are my commendations reward at?

[jeyman]

First ten tanks/healers get them so I get my 1k gil. After that im done. Unless there is someone that really stands out

LOL. I'm kinda surprised people still think this is about being nice to people in dungeons. In four man stuff it seems to me most of the time people follow the convention of dd give it to dd and the tank gives it to the healer and vice versa. In stuff like FL the healers give them to each other.
Personally I just click at random half the time, apart from frontlines where its lala healer> other healer> someone at random if the healers left before I could click.

It is still a bit about being nice, or at least professional. Most importantly, it's about not being an absolute jerk and knowing what to do and playing well with zero drama. I do follow the convention most of the time, unless I find one of the DDs was particularly good, helpful, or less of a jerk than the tank.

Best tips for getting commendations:
1) PATIENCE. Be quick, be forgiving of mistakes, but most important, DO NOT FREAK OUT if people are slow or bad. DO NOT FREAK OUT if the guy is standing in the fire (again). DO NOT FREAK OUT for any reason.
2) KNOWLEDGE. Know the fights, be ready to explain them. Be good at explaining them.
3) SKILL. Know your role, know your job. Be good at it, or at least:
4) FLEXIBILITY. Know when you need to step out of your role. If you're a healer, step into cleric stance if you need to help out the DDs. If you're a DD, be ready to peel off a mob from the healer and kite it (preferably to the tank). In emergencies, be ready to have to do something fast, like insta-rezzing someone who dies because they stood in the fire.
5) FRIENDLINESS. At the very least, take 2 seconds to say "hi", "sup", "yo", or "hey" at the start of the dungeon, and "thanks", "gj", etc at the end. Even if you wiped three times on the first boss.

You don't need to play healer or tank to get a lot of commendations.

1) Be helpful. Don't hate the new guy. Ask if people wanna run new content blind.
2) If you're a BRD and there's a magic DPS in the party (or your healers DPS a lot) PLAY FOES. I will insta-commend BRDs for this unless they are total jerks otherwise because it's a huge damage boost and it's FREE. Plus in dungeons you regen MP really quickly between pulls so it can be up almost all the time.
3) Do good DPS. If things die REALLY fast, people will almost always notice. Don't even need a parser.
4) Be polite and relaxed. If you're a tank you don't need to do a speed run to get max commendations.

There's more but following these I get showered with comms =D

I've noticed this increasingly lately.

You have to take into account now that people que up with 2-3 others, they can't give coms to anyone but that 1 or 2 other players, and if those players were ..not so great, then they don't deserve a commendation.

The comm system has been successful. I have to question if everyone remembers dungeons before comms... They were complete rage fests on almost every occasion.

Now: It's common for everyone to at least say hello at the start and GG at the end.

Most of the time it's a quick smash thru for the finish line but errors are generally laughed off or simply adjusted.
If a joke is cracked someone will generally participate or comment.

Rarely do we still encounter the problems we had previously.

My comm goes to the person who provided the most entertainment. Not the best or highest performance. I look for that person who gave me a smile, laugh or a little extra fun. I very often will comm the biggest full retard derp I see simply because I got a massive chuckle out of it.

Enjoy the game!

Probably for the same reason PVP gear can't be used in Frontlines - because people found a way to dodge the intended system and speed trade them faster than anyone who earned them properly.

I think it the exact same method as well. If commendatiosn were given out in Wolves den then wintraders or those hireling them would likely get a ton of comms

I am getting more commendations in Wolves Den than in normal dungeons because when you are top in the list (Damage Dealer as example) you will be recognized.
In Fact when the golden mount was released many player who gotten it within some days traded them.

It does not only work with Wolves Den but still works with Dungeons or any other Content.
The Group of 4 need to join simultaniously (solo) the same dungeon.
It is a low frequently dungeon choosen, so you can be sure not many "outsiders" will join.

In early days it worked very well, because no one have done Wolves Den and you mostly gotten your friends into the dungeon, thats also how those win trades were working.
