If someone thinks commendations dont mean anything at all then the very thought of my post wouldn't make sense to them, but the thing is they do the game says that they do , they dont say that emotes mean anything but clearly to the base they do.

I mention having alts on my alts I never ran anything unsync and I also tanked on them I believe I have more commendations than instances on my alts. If you are a tank or healer even if some people dont give them, even if some like giving them to dps it is still a guide to whether or not you are preforming up to par. Because I can assure you if I mess up or cause a wipe 9 times out of 10 Im not gettin a commendation. But on my alts for instance my ratio is clear I have no unsync instances that I ran with friends its pure guild heist, trials , and dungeons on there no filler from unsync.

All I was asking was to not have filler in my instances , because it creates a fabricated illusion of how many instances Ive done where I could be judged on my gaming performance. Because I said this is what a commendation is suppose to be and in most cases thats what it is the reason dps dont get them is because in any dungeon in the game if one dps goes down you can still do your duty. In many of the first dungeons you dont even need 2 dps Id say prob in every dungeon in the game you can finish a duty with 1 tank one healer and one dps. So there is a reason why tanks get them or healers because they just simply are needed more in most of the instances in the game.

So all I was asking was just like on my alts to have a clear number, of my real duties the ones I actually went in witout just doing content with friends or helpin new players out in unsync content buffing my numbers to the point that my commendation to duty ratio is behind. Why this is so hard to understand is beyond me considering all the things posted on this forum everyday what I am asking is very valid for someone who may want to hold value to commendations.
1. People are upset because it COSTS TOO MUCH for an emote for ONE character, it is a LEGITIMATE complaint and has nothing to do with your issue, this is called a red herring. So because the issue of what you want, does not relate to mog station issues, I will not respond to it. I can't I only know how to make proper arguments. You did not answer my question.

2. No, it is not. People give them to tanks and healers because it is more critical to make the run flawless. Some people will give out coms to DPS for lewd glamors. It is purely some kind of OCD issue if you think you need more coms then dungeons ran. It is a SELF imposed thing you are putting on yourself.

3. I does not matter. you did not explain why it effects GAME PLAY! Why does this need to be tracked? Also you are wrong, some early dungeons can be done without a tank.

4. Coms is not a measure of performance, it is subjective to the person what is a good performance.

It's not that you truly believe Commendations to be evidence that you're doing well, as you clearly stated tanks and healers get them just for rolling those roles. What the problem is, if you're not just baiting replies, is that you have OCD about two different meaningless achievements that have different numbers in them.

Have you considered what you're going to do when you finish that dungeon achievements and it no longer tallies that? How will you know how well you're doing then by Commendations? As for the whole tank mounts, even if unsynced was removed from counting towards the achievement, people will just spam AS1, Bismarck and Ravana more, and they are just as easy now as unsynced things.

Just admit to yourself that it's an OCD problem, and realise commendations are given out for random and pointless reasons, and is NOT a record of you doing well.
