Commendations question

Hello, I'm not sure where this would go but I have a few questions about player commendations. First, is it possible to see where you rank in number of commendations compared to other players? Also, I would like to see a breakdown of how many commendations I've received as each individual class/job; say x amount received as White Mage, x amount received as Dragoon. Is this possible or can this be found anywhere? Thank you.

Well I.....have no idea! But that would be pretty cool to know!

It is not, and likely because its not something they have tracked.

Nope no way to see the breakdowns and no way to compare yourself to other players.

The comparing to other players would be kinda pointless since people "cheated" to quickly get comm achievements early on (and probably again when they added the more recent ones). It'd be cool to see the job/class breakdown for your own I guess.

I really wish this was a thing. I've always wanted to know how many commendations the person with the most has (I feel like it's probably over 10,000). I recently passed 5,000 myself, but I have a feeling that's not the highest.

Some people basically bribed their way to high commendations to get the rewards insanely quickly. It's not an honest system anymore, and not worth the devs time to work on it so you can compare it.

You can compare it by what achievement they get like is he got parade chocobo or best gown ever, or gold magitek mount.

So out of curiosity,how do ppl cheat commendations lol? Last I remember pre formed members cannot pick one of their members. Aside from ppl asking or reminding ppl to vote at end I don't think that falls under cheating

queue up individually for a guildhest under like french or something on a NA server was how it was done when they were released.

Yup. There were people running around with the gilded magitek armor within the first few days of commendations being added to the game.

I wouldnt want a ranking system between other players as it will most definitely make players "farm" recommendations which defeats the original point of such a system. Not that commendations are given for their true purpose most of the time now but at least you don't start a toxic mentality coming from wanting to "rank higher" than others.

I would, however, support the part on listing how many commendations I had on each job, (but only on our own character page, probably below where the current commendation totals are shown). It'd be a QoL improvement so I guess even if the devs are ok with doing this, it'd be pretty low on their priority list.
