No commendations

[RuleofThree]

I never comm...ever. I find the whole thing subjective. I don't expect comms, don't give comms. Who am I to judge if you did 'acceptable' or not. In my opinion: If we finished a dungeon/raid/trial the tank held hate, the healer kept people alive, and the dps dsp'd...we won. Comms for everyone.

I take that back...I will comm if something absolutely 'what the fuck just happened' amazing took place. Like dps solo'd the last 3% of a boss after a wipe...or healer gets everyone up and back under control after a wipe. Other than that...fuck comms.

Edit:

I used to get annoyed at never getting comms as paladin when I used Clemency to heal heal, or save the cleric from dying, figured actually saving people from a party wipe would be commendable...but then I realized the same I said above...what I think should be worthy of a commend, is clearly not the same as what the other player thinks is worthy. I'm sure there are people out there that will not commend a Cleric unless he has 1,800dps per second in any given dungeon. Harsh..but his guideline for comming people.

I'm sure everything has been said on the topic, but oh well.

Tanks/Healers are a bit spoiled when it comes to coms, tbh. I see healers complains in LS too when they don't get a com, because they have come to expect them at this point lol. I've had to keep my mouth shut a couple times because if they knew the coms went to me as NIN, they'd lose their shite.

I think what people don't realize is the higher level you get, the pickier people are about giving out coms. In the earlier levels tanks/healers got coms for showing up. In stuff like expert roulette, people are looking to speed run it, which means they are eying up the DPS that knows their Job enough to help that.

But it really boils down to the people you end up with. Some com based on performance. A lot com purely on "was this person pleasant to play with?"

actually this ^

for me it's not about skill or gear at all but about the teamwork - if a overgeared tank mass pulls cause he is used to this in a grp with 2 undgeared dds I surely give the com to one of those not to the tank. also I like healers who find a fair balance between sup & dps, here again f.e. a sch who's in cleric 99% of time relying healing/buffing to their fairy won't get any comms from me. sometimes I found myself flashed of a clever LB usage along the way, this is what catches my attention. in the end it's all about chemistry....
