I honestly feel that thing is an insult, as long as it actually takes to get the coms for that mount, you're reward is the exact same mount you already had, but colored gold.

I personally would love to get the parade chocobo but as a DPS class and especially now as a gimped/badly scaled DPS class...it would take years. SE can keep the gold magitek mount though. Looks so tacky.
Giving commendation to healer or tank is pretty mainstream though.
Why get angry over this? Sometimes you notice when a player does something awesome and you know you'll commend him/her at the end for it. Players aren't always watching for how you play because they're busy watching their own toons/trying to not die/get through a part. Don't take it personally.
If you don't feel you're being adequately rewarded for your performance, stop playing at max performance. I personally commend people who go above and beyond, but most don't. In any case, no one has the right to tell you to perform at 100% all the time if you don't want to for any reason if you're getting your job done either way, so don't do it if you don't think it's worth your effort.
I dyed my chocobo black.
300-500 dps? That sounds nice, but uh... how is anyone supposed to know that? You know, because not many people run a parser. So, that's kind of an irrelevant thing to even mention.
Also, your name is stupid. I don't give commendations to people with stupid or nonsensical names.
