So I just raid led a Castrum/Suggestion

Seems about normal to be honest. I can run a mediocre expert roulette and get 3 comms, then drag a group through Aurum Vale the skin of my teeth and get nothing. Or my favourite, explain a trial, wipe 2 or 3 times, explaining everything along the way and....... nothing.

Just que up for cape westwind and have a macro made saying something like "Congratulations on winning the trials roulette lottery and getting cape westwind i am shamelessly aiming for commendations and would appreciate your continued support"
Because i know whenever i get cape westwind during trials roulette i feel like i won that day, and would happily give a commendation if someone got me that on purpose.

It would be about as boring as watching pain dry, but could honestly get the tank commendations needed in a few days.

I have a hard and fast rule that I never comm a person who asks for it. So this may backfire.

I have a hard and fast rule that I always comm a person who asks for it. So this may not backfire.

We do it for the enjoyment of helping people and playing the game.

It's probably half and half. Like half of those sprouts haven't yet realized how to give commendations or why. The other half is the sprouts having their own ideas about who should get their comm. A lot of people who are stuck on getting or giving commendations usually see people being really helpful as, "This guy is just doing it for the comms, but he's not so great. I will comm someone else!"

Weird psychology going on.

Another thing is like, people only comm based on the skill they themself can perceive. Like you might carry a run on tank by being really good and using your heals and group mit to keep people up as the healers die or your invuln to buy just enough time for a healer LB3 or something... but the players just see, oh the healer LB3 saved us all! Everyone comms the healer.

There's only been one time when I got every comm from an 8 man group, and that was on my LP alt when I did Tsukuyomi for story. I clutched out a win with Living Dead, killing her with 4 seconds left on Walking Dead. This was after two wipes, so everyone wanted to be done. There was much rejoicing.

Personally I usually feel pretty good even getting one or two comms, because it means someone noticed me. I play a lot, so it adds up, and I feel like I usually get noticed. Not a lot of runs happen where I get none, even on DPS, so I can't really complain.

Who does that??!! No other program has a progress bar in a button...buttons are to be clicked, not held down!

I can answer this one! The reason the "Hold to return to start after KO" was implemented is because the Raise button from a healer is instant, and people kept mistaking the Return button for a Raise button, and returning to the start of the dungeon mid boss fight by accident.

If you click once, it was a raise! If you click once and nothing happens, you haven't been raised yet. If the healer is still alive, give them a second, they might have had to dodge mid cast or lag ate their Swiftcast. If the healer is not alive, well, everyone is going back to start.

Reminds me when both healers in a E12n run kept dying and getting hit so I was forced to be the rez mage for the day. Some of the dps were also getting hit too much and eventually it was only me, a tank, and like a random dps alive. So when the lb3 was ready got one of the healers up, had them smack that lb3, then we went on to pass.
Afterwards the tank who was on the floor the most: good job healer!!! You saved the run!
No comms.

That sucks

If I'm in the group, you'd get at least one. I try to give kudos in group chat so the group knows, too. I appreciate the assist from my rez mages and summoners.
