DPS deserve commendations too!

[Atreides]

I don't know what you mean, I get more commendations when I run as MCH than with my tank. And I'm by no means a bad tank, I do my wall to wall pulls, mitigate, do my damage usually don't even need healing.
If anything I feel like people favour DPS commendations at least in EU.

When I'm dps I always give them to the other dps unless the tank or healer really does something to impress me. I have around 4000 commendations for almost exclusively playing dps and my rate of getting them actually went up after going hrothgar and having a portrait where my character is basically making a face.

I think the commendations are also due to perspective. I tend to be pretty good at throwing Heart of Corundum and Aurora on wounded allies and that usually nets me comms but because I focus so heavily on my healers performance they usually get my comm. I have no issue giving DPS coms and I do but I just notice what they're doing a lot less. When I used to heal back in ShB I would give a lot more dps comms because I was paying a lot more attention to their gameplay etc. Does this make any sense? Lol

we do get comms. maybe the issue is that you specifically don't get comms.

I'm honestly surprised to see that so many people don't give comms or only give them under certain circumstances.

I love giving comms because people like getting them, and it's an absolute delight to be able to do something nice for a stranger. Unless everyone in my party has been clocked as toxic — and I can count the number of times that's happened on one hand — someone is getting a comm!

...as long as everyone doesn't immediately leave. XD

I agree with this. It only takes a moment to brighten someone's day. It's just a small thing everyone can do to make the game just that much more of a nice experience for others.

Unless a party was extremely toxic, which is fortunately very rare for the casual content I do - I always find someone to comm if they all don't leave too fast.

I don't even think about it. Someone is getting a comm regardless of how it went. It's a free 'gift' if you will, why wouldn't I want to give someone even a little 'yay' feeling?

OMG this drive me crazy when ppl leave before I can give out a commendation, lol.

This is so annoying.

If things take a long time to kill, dps are to blame, if things die fast, dps are good and deserve that commendation. After running hundreds of dungeons you start to notice dps, some fail using their skills, combos etc or just spam 1 button.
