Giving multiple Commendations

[cougarel]

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.

And please don't bring your inane and bitter real world ideology to the game, lest you spoil everyone else's good time.

First off it's an opinion, second every parent has a way to educate, lets put this in gaming terms. Feast for example should everyone get a first place trophy? or better yet a participation plaque? Oh here is a better one can we give everyone a relic weapon for achieving lvl 70? see were I'm going with this? It's not that I'm being negative I'm expressing a point here. Should we also place a safe zone on the forums? Lets make it age wise? It's part of life, I also pay for the service and while your ideas may clash with with mine I respect your and everyone's perspective. A simple thank you or great job is an alternative as well. When I think everyone is doing a great job I'm polite. Depending on my role plays a huge factor. Are they supportive? do they give tips? are they rude? Then again a cup cake will be a cup cake. Play as you like just think, there is a reason achievements are called achievements.

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. ^^

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..

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"!

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

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.
