    No commendations.

    I just spent an hour carrying the worst level 60 party through dungeon finder I have ever come across. The BLM seemed to be casting spells at random. The WHM kept getting caught in tornados. Both dps were getting knocked off the platforms and not learning for past wipes.

    My rotation for the final boss was savage blade riot blade clemency WHM who was continuously being tossed in tornados and clemency the dps the WHM didn't have time to heal. I never once saw a regen thrown out either.

    And after it was all finished I got 0 commendations.

    SMH why do people not know how to play at 60?

    Assuming they were not inexperimented to the dungeon and caught up in the mechanics, It has not much to do with the character level but about the player motivation to play their class with at least a moderate efficiency.

    There can also be another reason, they might have "easy-leveled" the classes they were playing with you, such as for example with Fates or Daily hunt marks, both who can kinda be completed by spamming random skills. And then decided to try that class in a dungeon

    As for the commendations, sometimes it's kind of random, even more when it's with Full Party (8) where it's hard to decide who to give your commendation to unless someone particularily standed out.
    I guess that's why Tanks especially and Healers to a less extent have it easier with it, because they naturally stands out with their respective role.

    I entered a dungeon with 2 blm as dds and my first impression was: "nice, great aoe dps"
    both only used ice III -> flare for the entire instance. Since they were french there wasnt even a point in trying to explain them something.
    I dont know if they were bots, but bots have better rotations I guess xD

    In the end that run took more than 40 minutes =.=

    Blame PotD. My general rule of thumb when I see someone with a Kinna weapon these days is to immediately check their search info and gear. If I don't like it I'll see how the player performs during the dungeon and if it's really bad I'll start pointing out things to improve on. Most times there's no point in doing so though because with my experiences those players are convinced their method of playing is the most effective and that when you speak up about it you're talking nonsense.

    Now, not getting any coms is not the end of the world (I stopped caring after getting the magitek mount), though it is nice to get some acknowledgement for your efforts. Like the other day, I had a newbie dragoon and white mage in Cutter's Cry during leveling roulette while I was playing paladin. I could see them struggle (which, to be fair, is understandable because this dungeon imo is the one where players get taught that mechanics aren't always the tank's job), so I slowly starting pointing what they could improve on and explained boss mechanics where needed. Walked away with 2 coms and a good feeling of helping newbies.

    It's not all bad, it just depends on how you handle the situation. We only know your side of the story here, and I can almost taste the salt. Did you even speak up in a polite manner about how the dungeon was going?

    Yeah that too, if you vented your frustration to the party, that might explain why they did not give you a commendation (assuming you were technically deserving it).

    Some groups are so bad I immediately drop group as soon as I get the duty complete notification just in case someone tries to give me a commendation. maybe it's just me but I don't want a bad player's commendation in the first place. It's almost like an insult.


    edit: Also, you're a tank. You get your own personal mount. What do healers get? zip. F*** commendation. Give me a unique mount and I could have total of zero comms for all I care. Lion/tiger/bear >>>>>>> generic parade chocobo

    Sometimes the best players, saves, and contributions don't get the comms. It's the sad truth.

    One of my friends never does commendations because apparently those three clicks are two much effort. Some people just don't care.

    I always try to give the most deserving player a commendation, but sometimes they leave way too quickly, so it ends up being a random player.

    It's really funny how these things work. Sometimes I feel like I did a terrible job that run, because I might be falling asleep at the keyboard or whatever and I end up with 2-3 commendations, but when I carry an entire party I end up with 0.
