    Why can we only give out one player commendation?

    I really do appreciate support classes for making parties viable, but I also feel bad for stiffing DPS players who do good work. Couldn't the duty finder at least automatically grant everyone in the party one commendation just for completing the dungeon? I finished a great run of BLS today with this awesome group, and we were all having fun with it and at the end of it, I really didn't know who to give my comm to. It seemed really unfair to try to single one player out of a great team effort.

    You had a great party and had fun and everything worked well. Shouldn't that be enough that you all enjoyed it :P

    Commendations are optional and designed to encourage playing nicely. In a perfect world, it really shouldn't exist, everyone would just be playing as a community.

    I wish we could give something equivalent to the opposite of a player recommendation. Some players are so bad that it feels unjust for them to finish the dungeon without knowing how bad they truly were.

    I just use /disappointed.

    Nothing like "You show *insert player* your utter disappointment* to hit home the fact that they left a bad impression.

    That just sounds mean-spirited and tacky though. I mean, unless you tried, and failed, to give them advice earlier in the run, then why even bother with nasty emotes at the end. Just letting someone know you think they're bad isn't going to improve anything if they still don't know what they're doing wrong.

    Don't take it the wrong way, I'm one of the nicest and most tolerant players you will come across. I always offer any advice I possibly can, no matter how much difficulty someone is having.
    I'll spend an entire dungeon's duration explaining fights and helping newbies if I have to. If I didn't have the patience to deal with it, I wouldn't queue. That's my philosophy.

    However, when you come across those who insult you when you offer advice, and refuse to learn, then I will use /disappointed and leave it at that.

    You know the types I mean.
    "Hey, did you know that Heavy Thrust gives +15% damage? It'll help your DPS a lot! "
    "F*ck off noob, don't tell me how to play my class"

    Those kinds of players.

    *Edit*
    Oops, double post.

    Vote kicking someone for being sub-par at their job makes you a bad person, not them.

    Not when they're beyond help and holding the team back.

    Remind me which category "bad player" fits under.

    Let me guess, you also kick level 15 tanks from Sastasha because they can't hold aggro?
