How about a true commendation mount?

Fancy white and gold theme'd Magitek Conveyor that comes with parade abilities haha, that'd be kind of cool.

Let's not forget about that Elezen who complained a few weeks ago here, that has been playing since the beginning and only had 107 commendations. RIP.

If you get that many comms, you probably pretty likable, so I think a 4 person mount that isnt a car, would be fitting honestly

How? They introduced comms back in ARR.... I mean sometimes, I give one out to whoever didnt leave before i could click on the comms thing, if my favorite players left too quickly......only time i refuse to comm if the player was extremely unpleasant to dungeon with, like being awful to other players etc

10k? What? No!

If I started ARR, say 2021. The game has progressed tons, and I see all these people who've been playing since, say- now. They have the mount... but I'm just starting ARR. It would be ridiculous, intimidating, and not worth the effort from a new player's perspective unless they absolutely can nolife the game.

This is a true commendation mount...

The veteran rewards are different than those kinds of mounts though: They're locked behind nothing but time. You cant speed up the process of getting them by getting invested into certain aspects of the game, you just have to wait it out. On top of that the amount of time you could pay for was (and is) limited to "only" half a year in advance so you were absolutly stuck with not getting those rewards for years if you started playing with Heavensward or Stormblood or any time after ARR release. And you had no way to influence that or speed it up.

Mounts (and other rewards) that are tied to achievments are different: You can influence that. You can influence - to a degree - how fast and how many commendations you gain, by running content (maybe even unpopular content), being nice and helpful to people and picking jobs that have a higher chance of getting commendations (hint-hint: its the jobs that are in high demand, tank and healer).
Adding another commendation-reward could actually help to encourage good behaviour and more tanks and healers in queues (since those are some of the main-factors when picking who to commend - at least going by what I've read in threads on that matter).

They've added the hunt-tiger and the mentor-pony and both are locked behind a huge amount of time and effort, so I wouldnt be surprised if a lot of people just looked at that and went "Nope, not bothering with that!" - but thats their choice then! They know they could get the mount if they'd put in that effort - veteran rewards were just a waiting game that no amount of effort on your side could shorten.

I would love to see a new reward for the commendations - I'm approaching 5k and every one I get feels a bit like its gone to waste, specially when its one that goes to me instead to my boyfriend for the simple reason that I play a tank and he plays a dps.

I'm more interested in them putting mounts to achievements that most people with get just playing the game over time (like with comms, running dungeons with certain class, etc) then whoever thought the Tiger mount was a good idea. Be interesting to see a new comm mount.

Commendations are kinda dumb and meaningless, I'm all for new mounts but let's tie them to something meaningful.

Excuse you? Uh, no???

I played on an EU server for awhile, mostly german. I can't speak or understand German, but if I want to give someone props, I can do so via comms. People deserve recognition for the cases of going above and beyond, or heck, just having a nice glam.

When in doubt that is where my commendations go.
