In Regards to Lost Commendations

[Fevelle]

I'm laughing at how picky some people can be about something so little like a commendation. It's not like commendations are a super rare, extra valuable thing that should only be handed out to the best players. They are a way of saying "Nice, we had a great run, and I praise my fellow player to that", it's not like a recommendation for future content, geez, people can't even see how much comms we have.

What party member will you commend if a tank pulls 6-10 packs of mobs and the party live through this pull and win? Will it be Tank for proper use of his CDs, evading AoE and holding agro? Maybe it will be Heal for keeping party alive? Or it will be DD (alas only 1 of them) for doing good DPS and killing all mobs before healer run out of mana? And bear in mind that if any of them fail the entire party will die. So, which member of this imaginable party will impress you? :-)

In this case, my 'own job etiquette' comes in. If I'm the Healer in this type of run, I'll always commend the Tank, because his job is the most difficult one in the party, at least to my understanding.

If I'm tanking or DPSing, it will be always a commend to the healer, because, well, he's the one keeping us alive. I only give DPS comms when both tank/healer are absolute jerks. Also, I don't like getting comms as DPS, as I feel like my job is too easy to be commended, especially when I'm playing Bard.
