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

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.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..
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...
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.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.
I'd love it but I don't know how they could do it fairly. I do at least try to let my teams know that I wish I had more comms to give, because they were all rock stars.
I'd like to be able to give multiple comms sometime as well - it's a nice little positive reinforcement.
How about we just store the commendations we're not giving out? Sometimes you get a bad group, so you don't give a comm, other times you got a good group so you give an extra comm. And if you're out of extra comms, you simply have to do what you do now anyway.
