A great change for Commendation

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

Performance score can be nice when implemented properly. But the question is, how are you going to gauge each role's performance?

DPS? Obviously their damage dealt.
Tanks? This get a bit blurry but perhaps the amount of damage they mitigate by a proper usage of cooldowns & their damage, because to generate said enmity they have to deal damage.
Healer? This is where the gauging falls apart, flat. The amount of HP they healed? There's not even much to heal in dungeons, Medica II 100% uptime meta incoming! Damage dealt? But they're a healer! The amount of raises they did? But that means the DPS has to die to increase the healer's scores!

And then we have mechanics handling. How do you score this? What if that RDM backflip to your side with their marker and stacks with yours, killing each other? It wasn't your mistake! But your score suffers because of that g*ddamned RDM!

...Actually , we're treading so close to those glorified calculating tools! Ain't no way Yoshi-p gonna agree with this, it's too much pressure on those poor inexperienced players! Numbers on themselves don't do any harm, just like any tools, but do not underestimate the lengths a playerbase willing to go through for certain goal.

I have to agree that comm system is mediocre at best. If any, they just serve more like a facebook like buttons.

I read your reply and I appreciate your share on my view.

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.

Mind your fingers & stop thinking only to yourself.

[Leshiken]

You do not need a parser to see the damage output if you pay attention to your dps numbers. Also, "not being stationary at times" i never said stay on AoE markers or take all the damage openly. Moreover, misuse & abuse? It is nothing compare to how players troll and cause a wipe on purpose during either raid or trials. Above all, if you are competent to type your view and reason on my entire thread to give a reason on each section, then you on obviously should know what I am stating exactly OR you obviously disagree because you were carried through your progress.

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?

[Leshiken]

Ok? Why post here over one thing that offends? . . . . Ah, you disagree about your WHM holy spam. Gotcha!

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.
