Guild Commendations

Link to the Badges, Medals & Ribbons page.

Currently in WoW there are many forms of recognition for skill, time spent playing and general uberness (such as character level, trade skill level, colour of your gear, etc) but most of these forms of recognition are very ego-centric and fail to take into account the help you have given or received to attain these levels of recognition.

Such a point may be the hardcore raider that is dripping in purple gear. He is no doubt a very good player who has put a lot of time & effort into attaining such gear and deserves the recognition that type of gear represents. However, there is no obvious recognition there for all the other players that put in equally as much work to help him attain such gear. Or recognition for all the other players he has helped in turn.

I felt these Guild Commendations would be a nice way to say thanks to fellow guild members who have done a very good job for something that is not normally recognised but is never the less a valuable contribution to the guild and other guild members. (Like what is currently happening on the forums. This is just a bit more formalised and won’t get drowned in forum posts).

It’s really just a bit of fun and no one should take it seriously or feel it’s just another aspect of the game to “level up”. That is not its intension.

To nominate a guild member for an award, please post in the Commendations forum.
