Commendation performance?

[Ashkendor]

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. ^^
