Commendation performance?

[elemental10]

You did great in that run, yes. So feel great about yourself instead of expecting praises from other people.

Comms are just that. Commendations. It doesn't show how great you actually are.

Seems like OP is a wee bit insecured about herself...

EDIT: Also, there is a chance that none of them cared to commend at all. So nobody actually got any commendations.

You don't get more Commendations for being a tank or healer that's rule 1 rule 2 ppl can give them out to who ever they like but if you feel you deserve it more for healing or tanking guess what? you don't!!!!! no one is forcing the jobs on you. So you get Commendations if you get them but don't ever expect them like you deserve them

Maybe have an option to hide commendation messages.

Maybe have an option to hide commendation messages.

There isn't a specific option but you can hide that text yes, via filter.

If someone does something to stand out (explaining boss mechanics to a new person, making funny comments or otherwise interacting positively with the party, even having a funny name) I tend to commend them. It wouldn't matter if you're the best healer in the world, the Dragoon that dies and makes a floor tanking joke before he re-engages is more memorable to me. So is the new person that does all the mechanics right with just a short explanation before the pull. In short, you can't go into a dungeon expecting to get handed all of the commendations. Go in with no preconceptions about it; that way when you get them, it's a happy surprise.

I don't even know why you went to the point of mentioning your gear. I certainly don't expect people to commend me just because I have good gear. Your entire post seems like one long rant asking "Why didn't they like me?!" Honestly, the runs I've gotten the most commendations in haven't been the smooth ones. They've been the ones where we have a party full of new people, we wipe repeatedly despite patient explanations, and finally scrape through by the skin of our teeth to get victory right before the enrage.



Sometimes the messy ones are more rewarding overall. ^^

it is completely wrong.

commendations aren't based on anything but a person opinion.

you can get a com for having a name someone like, for being social. for being all around nice, for being the loldrg dead on the floor like always, for being good at your job.

nominating yourself? who are you kanye?

*shrug*

Not gonna argue with you.

Play summoner you hook all the commendations because of insane AoE damage and breezing through the dungeons.

But to the topic at hand, people don't tend to look at your performance, most don't even have a parser running or know what that is.
More often than not they won't even notice you did anything and think the DPS alone do all that damage.

OMG do we have awesome AoE DPS at endgame too? Awesome! (I'm only 35-ish and that''s been in the back of my head... I love my DoT AoE and stuff lol)
