Commendation performance?

[Miya_Carbuncle]

Except I do get commended 90% of the times.

Okay... you're really making me sit and scratch my head trying to figure you out (which is hard because I'm totally exhausted right now). Clearly most people like you and appreciate your efforts.

Why is it so terrible that once in a while, you don't get points? Try to ask yourself that and give it some thought. Maybe it'll make you feel better.

Because like I said before, I always do my best and there're plenty of runs in which I get zero commendations. It bothers me a little, I guess, but in the end of the day commendations really don't mean much of anything. It's kinda nice knowing people took the time to give me a point and noticed my efforts, but it isn't the end of the world when I remember that through my efforts I still made the run enjoyable for myself and others. The points don't actually do anything, they're just kinda fun to collect.

The game is about having a fun experience within the dungeons, raids, whatever; not just collecting the points. They're only part of the overall experience. ;3

I do enjoy this game a lot...I certainly do not play it because of commendations, I was here before they were implemented <.<. As to your concern about my "insecurity issues", you might be right, but aren't we all a bit the same? To an extent (some more than others), don't we need to feel that others approve what we do?

No... i certainly never care if i ever get a commedation, if i do, great, if not? oh well, we don't all look to be validated and desperate to be accepted, if you're looking for approval, you aren't very confident in your self.

Some people do. Its that reassurance that they have a meaning in life. Others could careless what anyone else thinks about them. People who post their life all over things like FB from checking in at their favorite restaurant to how they are feeling today, seeking attention, look for commendation, possibly middle child syndrome.

As many have said commendations are just there for someone to possibly hand out, they don't have to. Many a party member leaves before I can even skip the end cut scene. I always hand out mine, its there may as well. I guess being a tank it usually goes to the healer first unless they leave before I can, then its whom ever is left. If you expect commendation because you think you did a good job, isn't that all that is really needed? You know you did a good job, be happy and move on.
