What is your preference for a player to get a commendation?

[Vivi_Bushido]

I won't commend anyone who doesn't say at least their Hello/Goodbye/at the very least emote.

Sadly it's come to the point where anyone who can manage at least the above criteria will get my commendation, but I am not really impressed by a Bard using Foe's or whatever for example because that's the most basic of gameplay and I don't think they deserve a pat on the back for it. Skill matters very little to me. I'll always commend the person who spoke or who was humble in complete failure above the mute who performed well. If you're a Healer who failed hard and nearly caused a wipe in Mhach but apologised sincerely while the Tank clutched the raid from a wipe, you're still getting my commendation over the Tank.

But on the other hand, if I were that tank, I would probably slowly quit doing my job if I began to feel like my ability to play my job goes ignored and unappreciated because having skill is no longer a factor in getting a commendation.

Basically what I'm getting at is, when people are giving out commendations just for saying something as simple as hello, and nothing more. All incentive for me to want to try my hardest goes out the window because I could Heavy Shot my way through a dungeon without using any other skill at all; and still get commendations all because I said hello. See where I'm getting at here? Not trying to sound rude, just being brutally honest. Some of us do want the commendation rewards, and if being good at your job is no longer a requirement to getting it, than, why bother? Your commendation is basically teaching me that it's okay to be bad as long as I'm friendly and talk.
