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

4 years and only 107 comms?
yeesh 2nd year over here and I'm less than 60 away from 1500 (including a break)...what ARE you doing in dungeons?

but anyways unless they give better incentives or enforce it, expect players to do enough just for the Clogs and that's it. you can do EVERYTHING right as a DPS, use your group utilities, protect the healer even do the mechs that require a player to activate them and still get 0. hell even as a HEALER I've carried a goddamn raid because the other healer had no idea what he was doing and kept dying to mechs...only got one comm at the end .

honestly I don't see the point, the items are "meh" tbh and not worth fretting over

spoilers: DPS players RARELY give out commendations especially in 24 mans and raids

Since they're taking away most (all? Still waiting to see if Lucid loses its enmity drop... Seems weird that one action still has it) DPS's ability to control their own enmity, hopefully now it'll be easier to judge when a DPS is actually doing a stellar job by looking at the enmity bars.

Once I can do that, I'll certainly be passing out more comms to DPS.

I'm just gonna sit here and eat popcorn as the OP enrages that I have over 5250 commendations... *CRUNCH* *CRUNCH* *CRUNCH*

I would prefer to keep some tools to save my life when the tank has a hard time keeping aggro. Or is suddenly dying, letting the boss loose on me.

Today i still had two crappy runs where i did verraise and manashifting other players like mad between my dpsing, and no coms at the end. And i did get some in another runs where nobody died and uh, i think i maybe was hitting things ? I can already imagine the op doing as told in this thread, getting good, using support skills... and still getting no coms, posting again in here with even more rage in capital letters XD

Or tanks will sit in tank stance now since it doesn't penalise damage or forbids certain skills now.

4 years for 107 commendations ? I'd feel safe to wage that you aren't as pleasant to group with as you appear....

I got all 3 player comms from randos in a lvling roulette today on my lv44 monk. I chalked it up to my Coliseum harness and subligar.

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.

Pretty much the same boat I'm on.

In fact, I feel like we need more commendation awards. It just feels hollow at this point.

here is solution give commendation level of whining. OP could stock pile all the excess from bitchery, and make a castle of commendations. Even better start an FC that just exists for comms. Woohoo nailed it!
