Giving multiple Commendations

[ManuelBravo]

Your point is founded on a pile of messy and half-baked ideas that speak to your feelings about what you think is happening without regard for what's actually happening as well as a critical inability to properly analogize. Your post is laden with buzzwords and hints at a worldview rife with hysterical nonsense you don't see for what it is. Like I said, feel free to check your inane and bitter ideology at the world. A few extra coms here and there isn't going to ruin little Timmy's future, the world, or even this game.

Sigh, they say ignorance is a bliss and your entitled to your opinion. Notice logically I am accepting your perspective. That I believe in it is different. Your right an extra comm. won't hurt your future, the world, or this game. Once again it's an opinion. If you even follow logic and heard of of the rare trait called common sense, you would understand that certain things teach values. I am open to options and , as I had stated , agreed with options. Now if you happen to be part of the cup cake generation, I can understand why you get offended. By own means I'll say it properly....Get real, achievements are there for a reason. It's a nice challenge. Just out of curiosity could you allow view of your achievements on loadstone? Kind of curious of your achievements. No of course not why would you? I understand...from what I see you want things handed to you. To that that I will end this conversation with the following; Nice story Bro. /em plays the worlds smallest violin. In life hard work should be rewarded, and once again, obviously you have reading comprehension problems, I am open to the idea of others and I even liked the suggestions that made sense and quoted them. By the way being we are in the same server feel free to challenge me anytime to a duel. Men speak with their actions, if your up to the challenge that is. O wait no it wouldn't be fair right?

There can be only one MVP, while having multiple would actually be meaningless. Please don't bring the cup cake syndrome to gaming. Everyone does not need a trophy for participating.

Why do you see it as MVP status? There is nothing wrong with wanting to appreciate more than one person that played equally well. I thought that's what the whole comm system was for?

PVP is a completely different thing.. You are fighting different teams in PVP, not fighting all for the same goal.. A commendation is just recognition that somebody did well. It is not a 1st place trophy..
There are many subjects I would agree on for your rationalization but comms isn't one of them..

Ok instead of MVP , lets use the term Most Inspiring Player ? Most Competent Player? Most Outstanding Player? what ever term you want to use. NOte: I understand and respect people want to accommodate and be nice to others. Yes there are some people who deserve it, yet there is an achievement involved.

you should at least get 2 picks in 8 man....

Hence I did a comment for 8 raid 2 would be acceptable one as a runner up. and commented on others such as saving Comm. with a limit.

I would personally love this. I've been in parties where everyone was more than great and I would've loved to give them all comms

Depending on how it's implemented I think it could be pretty cool, if it is a simple comm who you want and that's it then I don't think it'll be for the better though. Part of the choose one/limited is actually good for you, every single instance isn't an example of "no one likes you" lol when there are limited comms.

Perhaps you get 1 + a pool of comms each week (or day), and can't stack them on one person. So you can always commend one person but if you'd like you can draw from your pool for extra, which would be limited in some form (for example 7 a week). There are other ways too although.. I'm not sure each role is a good one since it means in many cases the tank and healer get their own opportunity always, should avoid "always" situations. Perhaps to avoid variables (like a pool you pull from) the amount of commendations you can give is 1/3 the party size round up but no less than two, unfortunately the point of a pool size idea was that if you LOVED everyone in the group you could comm everyone - obviously you can't if 1/3 a 4 party, min 2, means only half the team gets comms.

Like other things I've mentioned in other threads, this is one of the examples I think it could be cute to utilize the mog mail system a little bit. Getting an aetheryte ticket from a mysterious sender and other little pleasant surprises. If that then I also think they should add a little reward for using your comms, some karma imp noticing you recognize and commend others and so sometimes does something. Although to be honest I've thought they could just make certain challenge log rewards selectable to make those challenge log rewards even more valuable (could choose EXP to drop on a specific job in scroll form, specific tome type (scaling numbers of course!), seal type of your choice, etc - would make those challenge logs better for all to complete).

Rewards system isn't really needed but I think if they made it so you could comm more people and having those happy moments of just being reminded "someone liked you", it's a good community encouragement (and encouraging people to encourage others is good lol). Just a small boost to the community feeling, of course there will always be people who won't take part/don't care but getting people together holding hands cliche stuff isn't too bad :P (like giving your kid the ability to give someone a gift, even though you're the one paying for it, it's still good for the kid and the person receiving, in this case SE is the parent).

Then what's the point with the comms titles /rewards? Like any other gamer out there, only one can be MVP, just like in other games.
Push to shove, tbh this is getting tiring by the day with these childish and unrealistic expectations from a game. Not everyone is equal and doesn't have to be, some are better, others are not.

P.S you can always say ty to the others , it's the same thing.

Personally i think Commendations you don't use should be saved up.
Sometimes i get great groups which i would love to give everyone a commendation.
Others? Nobody gets a commendation.

I commend people for doing a great job, not a mediocre job.
