Did you just say you've been playing for 4 years and only got 107 commends?!?!?! I had 480 before I lost my sprout icon, and got the gold version magitek mount before reaching 5 months of playing. I wanted to be a mentor after I lost sprout but it said I only did 260 dungeons, raids, trials so I need to do like 750 more. I'm surprised you've only gotten 100+ commends in 4 years. I was going to say maybe people just commend a lot on Aether maybe but I moved to Chaos datacenter and I still get them. I also give them to people all the time, on every duty I do.

If you've only gotten 107 in 4 years, you may want to evaluate your own actions instead of the random people you get in duty finder. I think your attitude towards the system has already made it pretty clear that the issue is you, not the system. Like a bunch of people have already said, commends are not an entitlement. You earn them.

I've been playing for close to 5 years and I have 889. And that's with playing DPS primarily.

I primarily run dungeons as a bard and get plenty of comms.

People love swiftsong/peloton, just use it between pulls and you'll probly get comms from people that like to go fast.

Even as a dps you should not have only 107 commendations. I get commendations on dragoon and bard all the dang time. But that's bc I bring both good dps, I give support buffs at the right time, I always think of people's tp/mp if I am on bard, and most of all, I know the mechanics inside and out. It's not hard to get comms. However, if you want commendations so badly, roll out a healer or tank. But then again if you're not healing and dps'ing you will most likely not get commendations, if you're not tanking and doing high dps you will not get them either.

But after 4 years with 107 commendations you are either very lacking in the dps department, really bad at mechanics, or just plain rude. Or you are hiding something in your story such as using one too many premades or simply not playing as much as you like us all to think.

Also I hit the 3k mark last year after playing for four years. Played a lot of dps in the mixed of that and it didn't really hamper my commendation score that much compared to when I healed/tanked.

From what I just read, you might need to lose some of those comms you got, I think you have too many.

I'm a DPS and get lots of comms. Maybe the problem is with OP.

Also are we all going to be called jerks because this was really just a joke thread?

If that's how you dress your character then I wouldn't give you a commendation either. You want them? Earn them.

Legit, people care about commendations?
