Performance-based roll system

[Aramina]

If you're kicking people to make an almost pre-formed party into a complete one to get loot, why not just queue as a complete one and decide who gets the loot and who passes it?

They were talking about commendations, not loot.

Yes, with the context being "more commendations, higher rolls on loot"

With an all preformed party, they can just use lootmaster or have the person who would get the loot roll, and everyone else pass. No need to get a random and kick them, just so that a friend would join the party to game the comms.

How do you stop someone from being kicked and then having them replaced by one of your friends who then trade commendations with each other? Currently you can't commendate in pre-form parties, but joining as a replacement bypasses this restriction. Sure it's a lot of hassle to go to but some players will do anything they can to cheat a system if possible.

That's a fair point. I'm afraid I don't have a good solution. The obvious one would be Square punishing behavior like that so that people tempted to do it wouldn't do it for fear they get banned, but Square does so little moderation of their game I think that's unrealistic. I don't think any system can be made villain proof.

The commendation discussion and the higher rolls on loot discussion are two different proposed ideas in the thread, but don't actually incorporate each other. I suggested commendations being worth more (for example, cooler achievement rewards for them, using them as a currency for mounts and gear, etc) as a way to encourage people to perform better in duties instead of the OP's suggestion of a performance based roll bonus.
