Ok be honest...

[kobe-sabi]

my first 700 comms came from my Drg performance, around 500 from Smn and Brd, and from tanking and healing over 6000 with a grand total of 7766. War and Sch main i stance dance, dps, and mitigate damage well. i usually dont say shit to no one but 0/ speed run everything making sure my heal is comfortable in dpsing with minimal healing. i usually get three comms from 4man, i always comm heals when i tank unless they dont dps in which i comm a Dps and when i Dps i only comm another Dps or Heal. i have received 5 to 7 comms from 8man and 24man when i use to torture myself in duty finder Ex Primals in 2.0, 3.0, and old to new 24man. I always comm ppl on thier performance with the occasionally slip, i dont care for chatter unless your funny or you need help with a mechanic or rotation, to many ppl are not funny but lame when they tell jokes.

So I recently hit the 3k and think the reward is a little underwhelming - a palette swapped Fat Chocobo doesn't really do it for me. Should have checked the reward out first.
Was expecting something a bit more 'parade-y'. First World problems, eh?
(also i'm under no allusions that playing a healer-full time got me there much quicker than if i'd been a DPS)

I do stick around for about 5 seconds in case for comms or if I want to comm someone.

Though I usually give the healer a commendation because I know how hard it is playing one sometimes. Other than that if I see a summoner/red mage resurrecting someone, tanks being overall extremely sturdy for some reason, something else that stands out, or they're a male that flirts with me and I'm desperate, I'll give them a commendation.

By the time I remember that commendations are a thing and I'm supposed to commend someone they've already left.

[Knahli]

Not a healer but if anything, commendations make me a little embarrassed. I wait around just long enough to thank people for the run, give them a couple of seconds to reply if they want and then leave. I feel somehow rude about saying goodbye and leaving a party at light speed without giving people at least a brief chance to acknowledge it for some reason.


As for me, I ignore performance and commend whomever was able to work up a friendly "Hello" and "Goodbye". My standards used to be higher like Naryoril's, but I've had to lower my expectations and be grateful for at least that much as time went on. Albeit, I usually don't count "gg's".

In fact, I'm more likely to commend "bad" players than good because I'd rather they not feel bad and discouraged following a chaotic run - that is, if they appeared to be affected by it in the first place.

[Kacho_Nacho]

I enjoy getting commendations; but, that's not why I am still hanging around at the end. Chances are I'm attempting to get a good screenshot.

Say cheese!

[Isala]

I try to leave before the commends go out, honestly. I've gotten nearly 5 thousand of them over the years I've been playing. There's nothing past the 3k reward, so there's no reason for me to take them from someone who might actually need them.

[Niroh]

I don't necessarily wait for comms, I just head over to the exit portal, at a very ... even pace...
