AATN:FFXIV DEVELOPMENT! the commendation system is a joke!

[JBee]

i'll try keeping this to a minimum! the commendation system is exactly what i said a joke.im so sick and tired of giving people one because they i felt deserved it yet i get none its total "BULL" the whole commendation system needs a major overhaul because currently it's a one way street if i give one i should receive 1 .you can disagree all you like but fact are facts and before telling me any reason defending it dont bother i been on ffxiv for almost 4 years and guess how many commendations i received vs what i gave i just got 107 so sad ill never get the higher rewards with a crooked system like this when i give i should receive period its a unfair system and it "MUST STOP" and "MUST CHANGE"

AATN:FFXIV DEVELOPMENT PLEASE REVAMP THE HIDEOUS COMMENDATION SYSTEM ITS A UNFAIR SYSTEM THAT ONLY THOSE WHO HAD NO ISSUES LIKE OTHERS WOULD DEFEND ULTIMATELY KEEPING A CROOKED UNFAIR SYSTEM IN PLACE.REVAMPING THIS SHOULD BE ON YOUR AGENDA ASAP

Big yikes.

Also are you running mostly with premades?

I've been playing this game actively since July of 2017, and right now I have over 4000 commendations.

Here's some of my assumed reasons why people would comm:
1.You're a good person. You greet people when you start a dungeon, and thank them when it ends. If people joke around and you can do it too. It's all about creating a fun atmosphere as we repeat this content constantly.
2. You're a good player. You're a tank who managed to hold aggro as much as possible, you're a healer keeping everyone topped off, you perform exceedingly well as a dps. You also use your toolkit properly, goading/manashifting/refreshing, helping with mitigation/aggro control etc.
3. You generally play a tank or healer. This is a big one as they are the jobs not many people like to play due to responsibility. There's a reason why tanks are constantly AIN on the DF. A tank will generally comm a healer and the healer comms the tank vice versa. They have to work together so they both respect each other.
4. You may just have a fun username/glam. That happens sometimes especially if your name is funny/memeworthy. Not a constant but it may happen if everything is pretty neutral between everyone.

Just gonna say though if you have 107 in 4 years of playing the game I do worry about you. Sounds like you don't meet any of the criteria listed above and based on your original post I wouldn't comm you lmao.

Take out the wit, honestly people want to get uppity about the most inane of things. Auto translate a Hello! and wear a sick glam. Works a good percent of the time as well.

Weird. I get 2 to 3 comms a run, sometimes 7 on 8 man stuff. I play a tank...I must ve doing something right

Is this a git gut thread?

As a tank you basically have commendations drop left and right.

Even if you're completely useless for anything other than aggro and semi-AFK the entire dungeon, you will still get commendations just for existing as a tank.

As a Tank who doesn’t get that many commendations. (Which I understand why. Healing can be stressful.) I don’t really mind.
But then again, I already have every commendation achievement in the game (currently)

there is a really easy way to get comms just get some friends and que up for the same guildhest together at the same time but not as a group odds are if you will all get put into the same instance since no one really does those and you can clear it in less then a min and pass trade comms to get whatever reward you want its not hard sometimes you have to think outside the box

I forget about the commendation system because while nice it pointless, especially because the person I'm comming doesn't know it is I who approves, or why I approve. But I use it when i remember. Like Yesterday, I commend my healer during shitstorm tower because they left the healing to me. They realized that I had it well in hand since there's very little to heal, so only healed when I was cc'd. I didn't asked them not to heal. I just noticed the pattern and was pleased. Show some skill and people might comm you. Also, if it means that much to you, Stay a full minute after the dungeon is cleared before exiting.
