Commendation Rewards

[TeganLaron]

Was just wondering if there are any plans for some new rewards for commendations?

Considering the grand majority of people that have them all already boosted and cheated their way up -- I sure hope not.

not really sure how you cheat with commendations since you can't control your group but most the senior members in our FC are about to get theirs or has it already and no one has "cheated, as well as everyone else on cactuar I know with one didn't cheat we are all just on our novious weapons. I would like to see some new rewards.

I'm not 100% sold that half the gold magitek mounts I saw a couple weeks in of that patch were legit

I think it's more or less psychological. People will do low level runs on either a tank or healer class and chat a little bit at the start, something like that. So they're more recognizable when it comes time to give out commendations.

It still takes a while but you could have 4 people all queue up for the 1st guildhest and only select a less used language. Odds are they'd be group together and ensure they always get commendations.

Commendation system was implemented with that same patch and the achievements?

I got mine legit. I tank and play a lot. That's all there is to it. Playing PvP is a pretty fast way to get commendations too by the way. Plus, now that parties can give out commendations to other players, if you're 1 person queuing into a group of 3 or 7 preformed (more likely to happen if you're a tank) then you're the only one they CAN commend, so it's like SCORE! But I had 600 or so commendations before the last patch so I never got that benefit. It should be even easier now and challenge log rewards people giving out commendations so...

You won't get that many if you do lots of preformed groups but if you queue for a lot of random things by yourself like I do (especially in a needed role) it's really pretty fast anyway. New rewards are a bit overdue in my opinion (that is if SE intends commendations to mean anything on an ongoing basis - they may not, it may have been just a one time deal).

ahh didn't think of guildheist. I am not saying their are not any being obtained by bad methods. however to put a blanket and say the majority has, is just poor form and insulting to many wonderful and helpful players I know. I constantly get 2-3 commendations on blm and I don't leave last, while other people i know almost never get commendations on blm/dps. To me I have been avoiding tanking on dungeons because I feel like it's more rewarding to get the commendations on dps/blm and I want my mount first.

I don't want any more rewards unless they reset everyone to zero and disable commendations in trials, coil, and guildhests. Guildhests especially.
