Can we plz be able to do something with commendations?

Maybe buy stuff that are exclusive to commendation. it would make getting them more enjoyable.

What, achievement rewards aren't enough for you?

That sounds good. If they could do something similar with achievement points too that'd be even better.

But you can?

"Hai guys, plz commentate me so I can get stuff!"

Yeesh, no, I get that enough as is.

If you go to Apkallu Falls in Old Gridania, you can get achievement rewards depending on how many commendations you have.

you already get vanity gear and special mounts from the commendation npc in grid.

If they rewarded more it would encourage people to pug things too much and not run with their friends, linkshells, and guilds which should be the focus in a mmo at endgame.

There ok, but theres only 7 rewards you can get with commendations 2 mounts, 1 minion, 1 head & chest piece, 1 title, and 1 barding. Im talking more along the lines of using them as tokens.

Ya you should be able to exchange them for stuff. Like I think it would be cool if you could get a gold plated magitek mount once you had a certain amount. Or maybe a gown for vanity. It could be like the best gown ever you know. Stuff like that.

There's no need to run things with friends, LS, Free company...etc. That's what Duty Finder is for..:P

But I agree...there's should never be anything added in the game that can be bought with commendations, the achievements is good enough.

Yeah, 7 rewards. That's a lot. And it is essentially the same thing as using them as tokens. Each new reward can be seen as spending the difference in required commendation if it makes you feel better.

But no, they should not be able to be spent like tokens on stuff. Because then people will make an even bigger deal out of them than they are and complain about not getting them.

Most people (like myself) probably stopped reading after "Ya you should be able to exchange them for stuff.".

I diddn't realize the intent till after you posted.;)

I've thought this before but the problem is commendations are unfair and always go to the healer or tank it seems. When I play as DPS I pretty much get none, only once in awhile. WHM is my main, and I'm always getting at least 3+ each run of an 8 person one, usually 2 or so on a 4 person. Typically I'll give mine to some random DPS since I know they don't get many. It's not that DPS aren't valuable, it's more that it's hard to see when a DPS does something that really helps everyone out, where most people seem to just think "well we made it through this, must have been the healer keeping us alive" type thing.

Funniest crap I've read since the guy a few days ago who was mad that aetherial currents were too time consuming to get and that since they showed flying in the trailer and gave us a flying mount in the CE that we should get flying as soon as we get to HW. Still giggling at this thread.

The rules, as they were explained to me shortly after commendations were released:

The tank always comms the healer, and the healer always comms the tank.
The two DPS comm each other.

That way everyone gets a commendation.

The exceptions are:
- Did someone perform a fight saving miracle? (e.g. kited a boss from 5% to death.) Give them all the comms.
- Did someone do a jobs so bad you were tempted to abandon the dungeon? Don't give them a comm.

I can already see the endless complaints of entitled players not getting enough comms and beg to be giving out like candy if they took this route.

no thanks jeff.

I give commendation randomly because it doesn't matter unless someone really stands out.
