Should commendations be revised?

I think it's fine as it is.
Be impressive, be bold, win the admiration of your peers!

You do know most only give them based on persons glamour and looks not on how well they did. So system to it is broken and need to be fixed.

it doesn't say it has to be on how well they did. it says left a good impression and how you look affects that.

people com for names too. it's the players choice for why they com.

Eh ... two problem: how did you know "most only give them based on persons glamour and looks not on how well they did"? My commendation priority are:

- Healers that DPS and have no problem keeping people alive.
- Tanks that does big pull, especially the tank that does big pull with well managed CD when I'm healing will definitely get my comm.
- DPS that melts enemies that makes the dungeon 5-8min shorter than average.

- If a healer just sit there and heal, no comm.
- If a tank only does small pull, no comm.
- anyone who kiss the floor also get no comm.

Also, I can tell you as a main healers on 2 chars with very standard glamour, and most of the time I don't utter a single word (not even as much as a hello), and I tend to make a peeline for the exit as soon as the dungeon fish, yet I still often get 2-3 comms. I receive compliments like "nice DPS!" or "nice heal" or "wow you didn't let me die there" at least once a week. But things like "that's a very nice glamour" is like ... maybe once every few months. So your argument about people not comm for skill seems to be a very misguided assumption, and if that is your truth because you believe "I'm playing well but other people getting comm instead of me" ... well, maybe you should re-evaluate yourself?


I don't like goofy stuffs, so I never pay attention to people's glamour. I'm not exactly social so I'm not into the type of players who chat up a storm, especially in me experience how much someone talk is inverse proportional to their skill and contribution. But that's me, that's my standard for how I give out my comm. So while I'm keen on the performance mindset, I have no problem if people want to give their comm base on their own set of standard.

You seem to think just because something doesn't confine to what you want, it's broken and needed to be fixed.
