Commendation performance?

[Twilite]

Sometimes I wanna comm all three, but you can only comm one person :/. And I hate it when the one I wanna comm is so quick to leave the instance.

... OP just have fun why worry about useless rep points?

While i personally quit worrying about them a long time ago, since I play dps and don't expect them, but they aren't entirely useless. There are unique rewards that can only be obtained by gaining certain amounts of commendations. If someone really wants one of those rewards then commendations are more important to that person. Though the highest amount ones are pretty much tank exclusives at this point requiring 3000 commendations. Being a friendly dps that hasn't taken a break since comms were added and I'm just at 597. I'll probably never see 3000.

I'm always pleasantly surprised when I get coms on my bard :P

It can be annoying when as a healer/tank/any class really - you know you worked your ass off to make the run as smooth as possible or you saved everyone from a terrible wipe but get no coms afterwards - but it's really not the end of the world. Just pat yourself on the back for a good job and start the whole process all over again!

If you really want commedations my FC leader is the whore among whores. He goes in says "Hello," "Good Job," "Thank you." Everytime all dem commendations.

I'm just that silent person in the background with the white noise people avoid. lol

I think it can also stem from the thought of "I bet they get loads of commends as Tank/Healer, they don't need em" and thus commend other people. Yeah may suck that you bring your A game but that is how you should be playing anyway. Can't win em all and some people don't care about commends at all. I've had plenty of runs where as soon as the boss was dead before I even had time to react and commend they were gone. Granted I always commend my opposite unless certain things arise to make me think otherwise. Horrible tanking, letting people die as a healer that was in control, pulling as a DPS, being rude.

Even as a rogue I often get commendations. Probably not because of my playing, but because I try and talk to people and help people through fights.

If you do your job right people might not know you did anything at all. If there is heavy magic damage I'll use apocatastasis on the tank and manaward on myself to make the healer's day less miserable. I sincerely doubt anyone's ever noticed and why should they? They're very busy doing their own thing.

I notice I seem to get more commendations when I'm lazy or make a mistake, rather than when I'm doing the very best I can and sometimes save a run when everyone else is dead (as dps, as in, mch/brd kiting boss and killing it or blm and keeping tank up with physick until boss dies).

Not even joking, about a year? ago, I was lvling whm and one whole dungeon all I did was regen (low lvl so cures not really needed) and decided to be lazy. Got 3 commendations.
Kept tank and other dps alive spamming physick as blm because healer died at 50% and we kill the boss? Zero commendations

I guess the lesson is, if you want commendations, you have to suck and be lazy, rather than play the best you can lol

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

I would do the same. Bahamut Ali is genius ahaha!

Its worst.. when doing WoD.. the other Healer DC... you doing all the job... exit ... 0 Commendations (maybe the other Healer win all the commendations).. i dont know... but it is frustating. u.u
