A great change for Commendation

[VelKallor]

As I do dungeons, trials, raids, and anything to deal with cooperative teamwork should be heavily change with its commendation system. First, I seen Healers do real foolish gameplay by either damage per second with Holy spam & little effort to heal

Healers dps in uptime when heals arent needed or the damage incoming isnt that bad, many classes have their own heals ( Second wind, Thrill of Battle etc ) and are expected to use them. The dps job is also to stay out of aoes and avoid damage to reduce healing required. Holy is , along with Glare and Dia, very useful, healers are expected to dps when possible.

Tanks not popping their cooldown & not being stationary at times

Tank or not, a tanks job is to still get out of avoidable damage, and to not expect a healer to heal damage they should not be taking. When a boss drops a frontal cone aoe, a tank will sidestep it and then move back. Tanks do not stand still the entire time.

(although the WHM ruins the stun timing for them), and some DPS not pull l their weight with damage.

Unless you are running a parser, you cant know that.

Third, a "Score Activity Performance" of some sort would do well for a system to notice the players role and depending how well the player does in the cooperative dungeon, raid, trial, etc . . . . At the end, it will determine the performance on the party & how each did.

Publically? NO. Absolutely not. Open to misuse and abuse.

Over all, would it favor in rewards to those that did perform their role? Yes, and why? To push players to actually play the role that they select to choose and is it harsh? No, because no one wants to waste their time on trolls or people being stubborn to really understand a role on what it should be, therefore why reward the sorry poorly skilled player base, than the ones that do perform their best? This is my opinion and fair believe on tbe outcome of what I just typed out.

A flat no.

Didn't read the rest of the post after this but really? You think a tanks measly single target stun is superior to the chad WHM aoe stun?

Not really interested in OP ideas, they all seem just bad.

Only thing i would like is to be able to commend players even if they already left the instance. Just the ones who were there at completion of the instance.

Pld shield bash is but the rest are not. Its not worth enough for the whm to not use holy in most cases thou. Unless its just one or two mobs.

Do I get a comm for every Verraise? Because I'd be getting a lot of comms lately.

I've seen some strange ideas over the years but having a problem with a WHM spamming holy on trash packs is up there with the strangest.

Also, Comms are meaningless, I've had poor runs and picked up all 3 and also dragged a group through content many times with the skin of my teeth and got nothing. It's just how it goes.

@OP:

Just wanted to say, I read through this thread and want to say even though you see a lot of strong opposition to your ideas, don’t let that get you down.

Always good to throw ideas out there to see how it “sticks”, and I can see your heart is in the right place- improving average player skill…but there are other ways to go about it.

Don’t let one thread discourage you from other idea sharing!

[Snorky]

Not a fan of this idea. These types of aids only breed segregation in the player base a slippery slope we can do without in this game. Content should be widely available to all no matter how badly you think others play because you maybe wrong or not understanding how another class is played. It's not good to cater to the few who want to use these types of tools to berate or demean others. We know how abused some third party tools are and how they are used to make others feel bad. I agree with the devs it's not necessary, everyone should have fun in their own way without being made to feel bad in a game they pay for.

[Leshiken]

"yes it does" and I am speaking about the game . . . . .. not your feelings nor your choice to be lazy & be crazy.

[Leshiken]

This is not about bullying or catering because I mention about players actually performing their role. Also, what the devs state on their behalf shouldn't make you agree entirely without understanding on the perspective of other players that do want to play the game and not waste time messing around because they pay the game to play by progressing & using the time to actually enjoy.
