Commendations don't serve any purpose though, they're just another currency to collect. They can't be lost and 99% of the time they are given to the Tank/Healer regardless of performance. They aren't a measure of skill or how pleasant that person is. I understand there are downsides to everything but I really really wish SE would implement a system that could punish those who intentionally create a bad community, not once but the repeat offenders. The people who actively troll, actively try to wind people up or cause a nuisance.
