Can we have the option to not count unsync instances with our overall total SE?

This is a non-issue, and as implied, it is some weird compulsive behaviour (may not be the right word but I get the point) in thinking you need to reach 1500 dungeons with 1000 coms at the same time.

1. getting 1500 dungeons does not magically make you an expert.
2. getting 1000 coms does not magically make you an expert.
3. getting mentor status is not really a big achievement, if you think this, then they need way higher requirements.
4. I met a 270 gear all 3 tanks, 270 mch/brd and 262 drg, with 60 job level in EVERYTHING but fishing, and you think a person like this would have some basic understanding on some PvP concepts, but nope, complete dead-weight. I used as much as I could as a SCH and I STILL had to let them die or me, because of the tools SCH lacks, and the thing is they where whm, def could done more to save themselves.

In the end no amount of requirements is going to teach people how to be aware and have a true meaning to a mentor to others.

I just dont want to be punished for helping out my fc members running unsync content that is all nothing more to it.

So you feel that running content with your FC-members and not getting commendations from that is punshiment? Geez, what horrible monsters you're having in your FC who are making you do that!

Listen, if you run a dungeon with a full party you cant get a commendation either, yet it counts - is that punishment too?

Bingo. This. You are feeling the game system is punishing you by accurately counting how many instances you have run, and how many comms you have received. But the game tracks these in separate achievements, and you have willfully chosen to correlate them and derive a meaning from them that was never intended by SE. No one else here is coming to the conclusion that you are being punished in any way. You are punishing yourself.

Words. More Words! Even more words... GAH Make them stop, they are attacking my eyeballs.

I'm out. I can't take anymore.

Good luck to anyone who stays and tries to find logic and reason in all of this.

Things like this are why I have the signature that I do.

If you want your comms to match or surpass your number of instances run, start queueing up in roulettes as a tank or healer and play in a manner that encourages at least 2 comms. If you run unsync'd, run twice as many roulettes. You'll be slowly correcting that which is bothering you while contributing to the community of a game you hopefully enjoy.

This is dumb. Like seriously one of the dumbest ideas I've ever read.

You always have a logical cool headed reply , like the amusement park analogy you had in the other thread. This makes sense but I guess ultimately I guess just have to get over it because ill be chasing myself the whole time instead of enjoying the game itself.

I just think they should be separated because I truly do think they are two totally different features and should be treated as such. Its just crazy to me how earn and wanting to be a good gamer is looked down upon on these forums but yet I see all the time how excited people are for getting commendations. Or if Im tank and my friends healer we wana see who got it , its very common but yet on these forums it doesnt matter and its not relevant just like everything that goes against the grain. My post is nothing to get up in arms about it is just requesting a quick fix simple change but of course every body loses their mind just because I posted it knowing it would actually have no negative impact on the game at all.

You don't like unsync. We get it. You don't need to make obscure, round-about, ways to say this every week.

[Serilda]

They aren't two separate things. Duoing Bahamut unsynced is harder than clearing Ifrit Normal synced but you will only get a commendation for the latter. Stomping Mog Ex as a full party unsynced is easier than doing new Savage content. Heck, running Weeping City synced on launch was harder than running Syrcus Tower synced today. The stats are meaningless as anything other than a novelty because the difficulty level is completely inconsistent, either synced or otherwise. You need to just stop looking at the numbers and start having fun.

Adding:
beating something unsync is not an achievement. unync came out later, after the mentor system was in place. It was never was a thought unsync runs needed some kind of its own achievement. It is also not needed at all as a mentor requirement as it does not reflect how much you know the game. I can sit there kill stuff just by casting aero on crap while even in level 50 stuff.

In the end, I think commenting to that bold is warranted.

What you want is a non-issue
