    Ok be honest...

    about commendations.
    Have you ever kind of lingered around after a raid or party before exiting in the hopes or chance you get more comms from people to let them vote.

    Occasionally if I feel I was the better healer of the two i'll kind of cast on loot, do a random buff or change AST sect like "la la la busy busy busy..."and exit when enough time has passed and i'm not the last one.

    Just curious of others Healing vanity because lets face it, we do usually get the vote lol

    How to get comm:
    1) say "first time" in everything even when it not your first time
    2) play female miqote or aura with slootglam
    3) never dps, make sure you're keeping the other party members at 100% health 100% of the time
    It makes your Tank feel safe and the DPS think "wow such a great healer, I could stand in the fire like a moron as usual and they kept me alive, not like those grumpy dps healers who refuse to heal!"

    I don't comm players for doing their job. Although I do comm the player who did their job when no one else did.

    I.e. its a gongshow of a run and you're the only player who knew his/her sh**

    Of course I do - at least stick around long enough to give people a chance to comm me.
    This I do regardless of role, since in my experience I have just as much a chance of getting some commendations if I play Healer as if I play Tank or DPS - i.e. it is pretty random.

    Sometimes.

    When I feel like I did all the work on keeping the team alive by rezzing (I main RDM), I stick around to see if I get player comms; when I use to play as BRD, I would linger to see if I get comms for playing songs when necessary.

    There would be times where I don't expect to get player comms and I get a couple and I'm thinking, "what did I do?" lol

    As a tank main I have more comms than I know what to do with.
    If you're hurting for some, play tank.

    I don't lie about it being my first time, I play an Au Ra though it's 50/50 as to whether my glam is particularly revealing and I play in the exact opposite style to what you suggest and I get a ton of comms.

    My boyfriend technically started playing before me but he's done mostly DRG and WAR and I think at this point I have around 7x what he does, though admittedly in the last few months he has played far less than I have.

    I think the best way to get comms is to just say literally anything in chat. I always give a "hiya o/" at the start and a "thanks guys!" at the end and that alone seems to get me some. I'd also say if you manage to give helpful advice that can sometimes pan out well, also taking responsibility for your mistakes. I have typed out a quick "sorry, my bad!" during a hardcasted raise and walked out with like 5 comms when nothing else of note happened.

    Overall I think it's just about making people like you. They're already inclined to like you because during most fights you are literally saving their lives multiple times, throw a little social interaction on top and you're gold.

    To answer the initial question... I suppose? Generally only when I feel I have done something particularly comm-worthy. I had a Final Steps of Faith the other day where the SCH just couldn't keep herself alive so I legitimately solo healed it. I waited for the cutscene watchers to be out for that one. Got 4 comms too. I know how annoying it is to recognize someone going above and beyind during a fight only to have them leave like instantly and be unable to comm them, not trying to do that to people. If it's business as usual though I tend to leave pretty quick.

    ^ lol

    I did linger and wait when I was trying to get one of the achievements, but now I just commend who I felt did a good job (nobody if everyone did a bad job and didn't try to do better) and hop on out. The achievements for getting 1500 and 3000 commendations will take forever regardless.

    I always like to give/receive comms, but it seems like many people are so quick to exit a lot of times I end up giving it into to whoever sticks around.
    Which, after thinking about it, isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as that’s the kind of player I prefer. Those who don’t view the game as just a rush from one thing to another and are willing to take a little time to interact with their fellow players.
    No offense to those whose play style is different than this though!
