Hello Mr.Dps who never gets commendations, play healer or tank Nd you can roll around in them all day after a week or two of some hard work

I think there could be more commendation rewards. i don't even have 200 myself. but even if its just a title or minion for getting like 1000 or something i think it would be cool.

The game could use more titles for certain achievements.

Not even, you can get plenty of commendations as DPS if you're good.

I have like 190~ however, I never really do dungeons with randoms. I didn't do roulettes prior to the patch changes. I would just group with my friends whenever I needed spare soldiery after clearing coil 2. The commendation system isn't bad.

I don't care how good you are as a dps, you may get more than an unexceptional one, but a great dps will never get as many as a mediocre tank or healer. Even when I'm tanking and screw up badly causing a wipe I'll still get commendations just because I'm tanking and for no other reason.

I got all 3 comms as my Bard once. I nearly fell out of my chair.

I usually get no coms on healer or tank unless its titan xD

You may have been running with 3 people who were in a grp and could only give it to you. I know I've done that running with friends before.

This hasn't been the case in my own experience. My average number of commends is 2 on BLM (my main), and 1 on PLD (although that could say a lot about my tanking). In fact, I'm much more likely to get all 3 commends on BLM than any other job/role, and it's not really uncommon either. When I get 2, I usually assume the tank didn't commend me in the case that I kept pulling agro off them, and that's why I'm really not looking forward to a BLM buff. They might as well change our icon from red to blue when that happens.

Exactly. I said it when it was first introduced and I'll say it again; whether people are actually being nice or if they're just pretending to get a commendation, as long as they are making the run pleasant I'll count that as a success for the commendation system.
