I commend other DPS for a few reasons.

- I see the other DPS taking initiative and/or doing something very well. Requires paying a little bit of attention at times but I try to when I can. I know that even though I'm a squishy BLM sometimes I try to do things to protect or support the healer, and on melee DPS I sometimes will be running around beside the tank and just try to make sure that they're okay/squishier players aren't getting targeted. If I see other players trying to similarly look out for other players, I really think that's a good thing and will usually commend.

- Dragoon links with me.

- Fellow DPS is nice and/or has a good sense of humor. Extra likelihood of commend if the DPS actually takes initiative to help other players by explaining mechanics or is encouraging during tough spots.

- If tank and healer are being clique-y to the point that me and fellow DPS can't talk at all without being third wheels, I stand in solidarity with fellow DPS. Also if tank and healer are being either jerky or less competent.

- If fellow DPS is new to a duty and shows strong effort in learning or otherwise does respectably. Desire to learn/questions are very good imo!

I should probably be commending bards more often tbh, but I honestly don't always know how to track what they're doing at this stage and sometimes forget. I know bards often work very hard to support the team and I need to remember and pay attention to that I think.
