Giving multiple Commendations

[ManuelBravo]

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.

Now that is an idea I like and makes sense as an alternative. I would probably just add a limit.

Sometimes I give commendations based off peoples positive attitudes and good gameplay. Sometimes I give it to the new person who gives that first time bonus. But I do agree for 8 man content we need to have at least 2 commendations. 1 for MVP and a runner up.

A runner up can be a nice alternative as well for raids, simple and fair. ^^

multiples would ruin the entire point. Commendations are the carrot to keep people from acting like asshats, if you can give to all 3 people it would then be expected of everyone. every dungeons would get 3 commendations and the entire system gets broken.

Say NO to "No Scion Left Behind"!

So happy we are talking about this. A couple things I'd like to see happen RE: Commendations.

First-- in PvP it is nearly impossible to commend anyone (at least on PS4) due to the rankings screen popping up so quickly and not being able to quickly view the commend list while it is up. Plus-- ppl leave PvP like its a fourth period French class. Nobody sticks around.

Second-- In order to get commendations you need to give commendations. I think that more ppl would use the system if they knew that their own commendations were linked to commending someone else somehow. Before anyway says that this would trivialize commendations-- lets face it-- they are already trivial. You can commend ppl because you like their glamour. Seriously.

But what's wrong with everyone getting one if they deserve it? This is what I don't get..

[RyuSaarva]

sure, if they double the commendation rquirements for rewards if you can give 2 commendations.

Nope I don't like it! I find myself in a lot of DF groups, were I as the smn do the healers job, on top of dps'ing. Sometimes I do even the tank's job, while dps'ing and healing/raising the other dps's. I like to keep my 6+ commendation after we finish these runs. Giving someone the option to give more than 1 commendation, would lead to people actually commentating the healer/tank that didn't do anything. So based on plain selfishness I would like to keep it the way it is.

I agree with the people who say it should remain one commendation. If you can give out more than one it automatically makes them less special. It's supposed to be for that ONE person you thought was the best. If you can't decide who to give it to because you are so conflicted you could do what I do and just thank everyone for the run, say great job and not give it to anyone.

Yeah, but more often than not people either just leave the instance without giving it or just click the person in the role they typically give it to and move on. For me, it's usually the tank (personal bias as I main tank, I admit it...). I'll give it to the healer if the healer was exceptional, like kept a crappy tank alive or did a lot of stance dancing for DPS, less likely that I'll give it to a DPS that just shines. The only incentive to give a comm is the weekly bonus, but even that is meh and once it's done there's no more reason.

In all honesty, I feel like the comm system is really pointless overall. You get rewards up to 3k and after that, what do you do with them? It's not like you can see them in game and I doubt anyone checks the Lodestone for a character in DF to make that evaluation. Kinda the same thing with achievement points, what are they there for!? They do nothing and you can only see them on the Lodestone...
