Commendation performance?

[Gallus]

It doesn't matter that you're some kind of elite DPS ninja or the ultimate white mage as long as you made a good impression on the team.
Clearly you didn't.

Don't assume things, there are people who simply do not use the commendation feature at all, it doesn't necessarily has to be the case, but it could be. What's more, I don't know how I could possibly cause a bad impression if I always stay chill and never say a word unless it's mandatory (eg. somebody asking for boss mechanics). You guys are picturing me as some sort of elitist who probably spouts all sort of bs when things go wrong, well, thing is, no, I never say anything ingame, ever, because I don't like making people feel bad and after all it's a game. But hey, I have the right to be disappointed when a situation that is not fair in my book arises no?

maybe your negative attitude came through in the party chat

I comm people that make me laugh and are good sports. If no one talks, yeah I guess I'll look at how they performed. But do I really care how you performed? Nah. If you were the most badass healer/dpser in the group, but there was a new person there who did well, I'd give that person a comm so they'd know they did great for a first timer.

We're talking about a dungeon run, right? Most likely people took the time to commendate. Those things usually take at least 20-30 minutes, so people generally take the time to stop and commendate. Or at least I think that's the reason.

Idunno, I tend to see people stop for a bit at the teleporter at dungeons before leaving unlike guildheists or trials -- even at end game and the players are clearly over-geared for the place. People just seem to be more mindful to stop and commendate for dungeons even if they have no reason to stand there.

That being said, for someone telling others to not assume things... you assume a lot. Like how apparently we only commendate small, silly little things, or how the only reason you didn't get commendated was because people simply don't care.

Unlikely unless those BRDs were Charles Xavier and could read my mind.

[Atlaworks]

I commended a guy named Bahamut Ali once because his name was really really cool.

I don't need to explain myself further than that. To me that's like the best reason ever.

Unfortunately I often fall into the trap of only giving commendations to healers when the party takes lots of damage and the healer manages to keep us alive and raise quickly. In some cases that is very much justified but in other cases the reason the party gets so low on health might be that the healer isn't paying attention in the first place. In a perfectly smooth run, right or wrong, I tend to give commendation to my fellow DD if the mobs are going down quicker than normal or the tank if they are going down as normal or slower but I never manage to pull hate. It might not be fair to the healer but sine I am focused on my job those are things that I notice and they therefore influence my commendations.

no, cause it's fair. doesn't matter what you think.

I did not assume anything, it's people here actually confirming themselves that they commend because a DRG jumps and dies and they find it funny lol.
People on the other hand, are assuming that I'm a terrible person, I flame and have a horrible attitude ingame because of this thread.

Expecting commendations?

Personnally, I only give my commendation to polite (and/or talkative) people, if you are the only one who said "Hello! " (even /wave is enough for me) and "Thanks for the party!" at the end, you are sure to get my commendation, performance does not matter to me if you were polite Yea, because I am human, not a computer!
