    Giving someone commendation is subjective. I have given players who were funny or talked with me a commendation over those that preformed better. I have given commendation to someone who has nice glamour and to those that are kind towards their follow player. The whole giving commendation to someone is silly, we can only reward one player our of the 3/7 party members. If you get a tank that is stance dancing and doing a good job at both roles or a healer that is healing and dpsing very well and dps that is giving it all. Who should I give a commendation? Tanks, because they are rare? Healers, because they preforming two roles or the DPS that is showing you that not all DPS are clueless or lazy.

    Player commendations: After each dungeon, trial and guildhest, you can give 1 player in the party a commendation. Commendation should be given to the most helpful, greatest contributing or most valuable player in the party.


    How can you judge whos is contributing the most, there are no tools to see this ingame. What about if there is more then 1 player that is contributing the most? Lets not forget alot of players just give the commendation to the tank or healer, because they value those roles more then the dps ones. So even if you have a tank that is never using defensive cooldowns, a healer that is not dpsing and just standing there or a dps that is preforming very well, odds are alot of players will still give the tank or healer the commendation, because of the negative stigma that the dps role has.

    I've almost completely stopped giving comms out at all, mostly because very rarely does someone make enough of an impression to deserve one. If you tank without screwing up, thats not deserving of a commendation, thats you performing the basic needs of your job.

    If stuff dies fairly quickly and you avoid avoidable damage, thats not you being an exemplary dps, thats you doing basics. If no one dies, thats not you being an exemplary healer, thats you healing.

    You don't get comms for this. You get comms for being different.

    Dps speeds up runs, they pass dps checks, kill before enrage timers, support, debuff and buff, help mp starved healers, help raise TP, help with enmity and more. Guess all of these are meaningless in the game though?

    And die to proto ultima Its been two runs now , that every dps has been dead in my party because the game makes them a little less squishy than the healers. Ive been on tons of runs where dps fall like flys and have to be revived I know that dps isnt worthless. I know that they have meaning in the game I have always said least important role they cant do what tanks or healers can do this is a fact so why try to deny it. You do need dps in the game but they are just at the bottom of the trinity , because tanks and healers roles are much more important.

    K, good luck with dps checks etc without the least important role. Also, idiots who die to everything doesn't make the entire role less important.

    Urm you just have come into a thread and posted something completely irrelevent because of who I am. Seems like I could be right afterall xD

    Anyway yeah i can check up to see if someone has any game experience to justify what they are saying, not my fault it usually ends up showing they don't. Didn't know checking someone's loadstone once was a crime, kinda figured it was there to find out stuff like this :P

    Dude you are really something ha the very chest peice I have on is because again I play the way I want , I dont want my tanks to look the same and unless Im doing high level content I have each of them wearing different glamour. My highest chest peice is 260, but I split 260, 250, and 245 for glam purposes. If you want to check my lodestone then you def want find my progression based on my gear because I care about glamour a lot. But anyway looking at your mounts wheres your alex mounts at while you try to call me out cause I clearly dont see them on your lodestone.

    And your wearing gear from alex normal wow thats so amazing like sit down somewhere dude you act like your some amazinig gamer and you just have the patience to farm birds wow thats awesome. Just because I dont have the bird doesnt mean I havent cleared the content, I dont like party finder and Ive clearly stated that in other post I only use it because its a means to an end. the extremes I have done I have cleared. I havent even done the last quest for zur , and as I mention earlier have yet to finish dragon song so havent done nidhogg either. Thats simply from not doing the quest not because I cant clear the content but yea sure talk that trash. You have bis , ravana, sep, and thordan bird Ive cleared them all sorry I dont have the bird because I dont put up with people like you.

    My weapons are from potd because again, I just started using party finder once cross server began, zur weapon is the only weapon thats reachable thats better than mine. Anima is a grind and so is script weapon it takes two in a half months so whats your point again at least Ive actually stepped foot in savage you yourself just said you havent.

    Clearly you are not reading I just said I havent done the quest for zur, if we want to talk about ability and actual pacing they are two totally different things if you would like Ill surely come back to this post after I clear zur and post up my achievement. Its not like I did him and failed I havent even done him or nidhogg because I dont chose to play like the majority of players in this game all content is relevant to me If it was up to me sense I missed it I would of tried to get some sync clears in binding coil but I play the game with others so If noone else wants to do the content then Im just out of luck. Zur is the last extreme primal for months I have no reason to rush to do him thats not how I play the game.

    Again what do you not understand about I pay 20 dollars a month , two retainers, and for alts on this game. I am not going to be forced into doing content just because the player base feels as tho the have wiped their hands with said content. I play the way I would like to play if that means Im late to the party so be it , whos clearing these primals id say less than 50 percent of the game so to even do them period and clear is good enough for me. Ive never claimed to be the best but I can say that I am a decent player, and again if gear mattered I wouldnt of had two parties in proto ultima wipe. Im not one of those first world players I have been playing 8 months and I just got through hw story about a month or so ago. If you want to do tiers on when people cleared , then day first players are the best, people who clear right after are pretty high skilled, those whom clear later are still higher skilled than over half the player base and I am ok wit that. I dont have to be number one I just want to be good, parties cant even clear grauda extreme so gear doesnt matter as much as people would claim. Im ok with being just a above arveage and not like the people I showed in those videos. Many people in this game cant clear any extremes or any savage can barely prob even clear alex normal so Im fine with my clears I dont have to be the top and never claimed to be.
