So I got pissed and got into an argument with him for calling me a lair which I never lied about anything the thing about the forums they will take what you say and have u arguing about other things. He just didnt like the fact that I said that tanks and healer are more important than dps and got salty so we had it out.
1) No, your original post was about a weird "accurate" dungeon-commendation-ratio that you made up, not about an accurate number of commendations
2) Just to get that out straight away: There is no "accurate" number of commendations, they're given out base on personal impressions after someone spend about 20 minutes with potentially 3 strangers in a videogame and has about 20 seconds at the end to decide which stranger was the most pleasent one to play with - not the best base for an accurate, well calculated decision (or well, I think you could call the game accuratly counting your commendations accurate, right?)
3) "Most pleasent to play with" can mean anything from "Thanks tank for getting me into the dungeon finally!" to "It was really pleasent to look at a Mi'qo in a pink swimsuit for 20 minutes (sorry for my bad performance, I only had one hand to play") or in some cases "You really did a good job!"
4) Tanks and heals are NOT more important - they carry more weight, thats true, but having this attitude in a game that does revolve a little around teamwork simply sucks. Calling someone out because they're enjoying a role that you consider "useless" and "unimportant" sucks aswell, so watch out who you're calling salty.
5) Also: who cares which role is more important? The sole reason tanks and heals are getting more commendations is because we're all waiting on them AND because its easier to see if they're doing an okay job at least. If a tank didnt lost aggro during the dungeon, he obviously did. If no one died, the healer must have done semi-fine at least. If you saw the healer tossing out dps - great, they actually did a good job! But with dps you have to run either a parser OR pay attention to what they're doing (keeping buffs up etc.)
(also let me tell you: being a good healer or tank is most of the time a lot easier than being an actual good dps - so dont think to highly about your healer-commendations... I've got about 3.600 commendations - and the ones I'm most happy about are the ones I earned as dps or in PvP because I knew that I actually impressed someone by doing more than just being a tank. Or wearing a swimsuit. Because I dont do that, frankly...)
6) you still havent answered if runs with full groups should count or not.
