PVP Girlies = No Commendations

[carebearxx]

I'm finding it to be a common theme whenever I play crucible or Iron banner that i get no commendations. Now this wouldn't annoy me if it wasn't for the fact that I'm getting the highest or second highest score and the dude with the lowest is still getting something...
Any other girls with a girly tag getting this?

On the off-chance that I don't end up at the bottom, I usually give a commendation to the player I managed to beat. It doesn't happen very often.

premade team = commend each other

Personally, if I somehow find myself in pvp, after the match i immediately start searching for the next match, without wasting time on commendations. And if I do give someone commendation, I give it to some random, i dont even look at leaderboard.

[carebearxx]

I always give it to the top two players or the two below me.

If I give out a commendation, I usually give it out to someone I actually saw doing something useful in the match. Like say ... in Control, if there was someone actually helping me capture points, I try to give them a commendation.

I don't pay much attention to the names though.

[Soondead]

I usually have more than enough with just trying to hit anyone and staying alive to bother with names. Unless it's that guy just standing in a corner and punching a wall. He gets nothing but my contempt. Even if I usually end up with a <1 ratio because the matchmaker algorithm appears to be "if num_players==max_players then game.start()", I at least try.

Most people don't commend in PvP because they don't care or match was not fun enough to care. PvP is competitive and thus more toxic environment, being cold is a defensive mechanism in this case.

Veteran players are used to skipping the result screen, they queue up as soon as match ends and old habits die hard.

Not everyone knows that you can commend from the result screen or the opposite team. Some players commend randomly and most don't pay attention to names unless you've done something extraordinary. Getting the most points is not extraordinary.

You don't have to commend just because the system exists. Random commendations depreciate the system, making them necessary for progression does the same, but people won't care otherwise. You should not take it personally either way.

No matter if I'm top dog player or bottom lurker with 0.69 k/d, I give commenations out to others.

PVP matches are very painful anyways, with all the lagswitching and netlimiting guys playing the game without being punished for it, it's just too much of a hassle, I am not surprised people go with a 'get this over with' attitude.

Also, why do you guys care about commendation rank?

Everybody who has big scores used the cheese farming method in Raids and other activities, everyone with multiple thousand points has cheated their way up, commendation rank is entirely useless to judge a persons activity, how much they are liked or how 'good' they are as a player, its an absolutely useless stat.

Nope. I'm giving any comms to people at the bottom of the leaderboard for not bailing when we get curbstomped. The sweaty people at the top with 30 kills don't need 'em.

Imagine receiving Playmaker for subpar perfomance, although you're for the opposite team.

Subpar for who? Who are you to decide what is 'subpar' for that particular player? Not everyone has the sorts of skills to sit at the top of the leaderboard. But for the PVP-snobs, I suppose that sort of thing irrelevant. Imagine being so taken with ones own performance, that they try to impose their own criteria on what skills others 'should' have in order to play 'their' game 'their' way. Get over yourself.

I literally just give commendations to whoever is on my left or right. Sometimes, I don't at all, because i don't care enough. If you're already at the max for the guardian rank, then who cares if you do or don't get any.

You mean well, Dragon, but it can be viewed differently. The same way you found my comment aggressive

Fair enough. Enjoy your day.

When i play with friends or clan members, they get commendations.

However when i play solo, i commend good players. I dont commend sub 1kd and/or people who feed the enemy team.
