You received a player commendation!

[Dao Fei Xiao]

Is this good? Does that mean I did a decent job at tanking? I got three of them. Is this a report maybe?

[Your Mom's Oshi]

Its the opposite of a report. Just remember to commend your healer.

How do I do that?

[NCxus]

When you kill the last boos of a dungeon, there should be a notice called "Player Commendation" pop up somewhere on the bottom right

[Danksimonfx]

You get that option when you have cleared a duty at the end of it unless everyone leaves quickly then you wont see it down to the right hope it helps

[Dao Fei Xiao]

Yeah they all left quickly, I think they were premades. But I tried my best and hold the aggro all the way!

Commend anyone you feel like commending. It doesn't need to be the healer.

Like if the DPS explained mechanics to the group after a few wipes, it wouldn't be a bad thing to give your commendation to that DPS.

If someone gave you some pointers during the dungeon/trial, etc, it wouldn't hurt to commend them.

Many experienced players will commend new players because you get extra end game currencies if a new player is in the group. Gives old players an incentive to do older content so that new players can experience it.

You can't commend anyone you're in a party with as well.

At the end of a dungeon/trial/raid/group content there will be a box in the same area where the Loot pops into that says: Player Commendation. You open that and it will show all players still in the instance.

usually tank get commend because top of the list XD.

It's generally harder to get commendations as a DPS player, unless you make yourself stand out somehow.
Being a comedian in party chat throughout the dungeon is a winner and usually results in all the commendations.

Performing way above expectations can also do it, though that's usually harder to get noticed for unless you're a non healer and you rez everyone all the time.

I'm a DPS main and have over 1900 commendations, and only started playing since around 3.2, so it's not as hard as some think to get commendations as a DPS. I generally just commend whoever I thought performed the best, but tend to favour healers.

[Kay]

As a RDM, the times I've gotten commendations were because I'd kept people alive when the healer died or I took the time to explain mechanics to everyone.

As a healer, I tend to get commendations for existing, though I definitely get more for doing well and usually only get all three if I do something exceptional like rez the whole party during a boss fight.

They're good things to get and it simply shows that other players appreciate your contribution.

[Mudpony]

Plus there are achievements for getting them, with rewards. The Heart of the Party title is the reward for the first one. And on the Challenge side of things, there are ones for giving them. So doing that can get you a bit of xp/gil.

And also because the tank is the de facto leader, deciding what gets fought when and where. Meaning it is part of his job to adjust to what the group is capable of.

[Om3ga-Z3ro]

I wanna get that mount for 3500 commendations

[Velvet Vylure]

I tend to get commendations as DPS just for being sarcastic/memey in the chat. or just by talking ♥♥♥♥ to my team (jokingly) and trying to make boring dungeons fun
