My most audacious want: More Rewards For Comms

Yes, it is an audacious want. I want more than a reward for 3k rewards. Make something for 5k. 10k. 20k. Make people want to work for them, even if there are cheaters to the system or those who never run without a pre-made group. Getting people to give comms feels like enough of an outrageous want that it would be impressive to earn. I'm sure there are drawabacks and counter arguments... but I still want it. Reward mounts, minions, or glam-gear for making people like you.

Having a lot of comms doesn't necessarily mean a lot more than "I've played the game for a long time".

Not even, it can also just mean "I play tank/healer in df content"

Even worse, as much as more rewards would be cool, people try to farm them enough as it is. The "hello/tyfp!" macros, forced flirting with people, emoting at the exit when there's no loot to get but there are other people still in the duty... it's annoying.

I think it would be nice I do not really team up a lot these days though. I also never say Hello and Goodbye for them, I am from FFXI it is just polite and I have always greeted and bid farewell long before comms where a thing and it is just the way I am probably my age lol. I like to greet my fellow players and thank them. I am more concerned with people cheating the system but not even sure how that works.

Before that, make it no longer possible to grant commendations on Guildhests.

This. I don't think it should be possible to award commendations via Guildhests.

Some people already beg in DF to get coms for that plastic crown or farm guildhests for them.

If I'd see someone with 20k coms, I'd be running very fast, very far away

As an OG, I have about 5-6k on normal playstyle and omni job playstyle. I've been speedrunning out of dungeons lately for players that might want to work towards being an upcoming mentor.

Trying to put myself in the shoes of a sprout seeing a mount they think is cool locked behind "Leaving a Better Impression XX" in the achievement log, requiring a cool 400 full twenty-four hour days of duties... if you're lucky.

yeah, that too. I make a point to rarely comm the tank/healers bc you dont deserve a comm just because of your role choice

The forced flirting, I get. Really annoying for sure. But saying a simple 'Hello' and 'Thank you' after a duty ends? I think that's just common courtesy! xD
Tbh I'm more annoyed when people don't even find a few seconds for that.

Commendations don't really mean anything... Tanks and Healers get them fairly automatically, but even then it's a measure more of how many roulettes you've done over the course of your playtime.

Also, since you have to get the commendations for the achievements, the progress towards them is entirely decided by other people with no control over it yourself.

Same. I like to celebrate after a dungeon, even after all the comms are in. Especially with sprouts in their first time through something. It's fun to be happy. :3

Why not commendations for guildhests? I know people farm them, but there are still people who do well in them. And some have mechanics that deserve rewarding someone who does them well. Should we take them out of easier trials, too? They basically last about the same.

I’ve long wondered why we didn’t get a 5 or 10k comm reward. For a long time player it’s not that hard to eventually hit those numbers. As for people fishing for comms, the key is never ever comm anyone who mentions them in duty. I try my hardest in any duty I’m in, sometimes people appreciate it, other times they don’t. Though it’s nice to be rewarded for putting in the effort.
