    This is a really weird thing to be hung up on.

But for me Im not going to lieI like commendations, and the thing with usnyc this isnt possible. And someone posted here recently that they wish they could give more than one commendation but still remains you cant which means sometimes you dont get them every run.

    So I just hit my 1000 instances last night but Im at 968 commendations but I know some of that is just from playing dps and running with friends. But Ive also ran alot of unsync content with friends, just to help out but Im hesitant to continue because I would rather not have 1500 instances and like 1010 commendations due to tryin to help friends out with unsync content. So Im wondering is there anyway that we can have the option for unsync runs to not count on our instance achievements are maybe to go into a separate form of achievement like how many unsync runs youve cleared and let only the ones you did sync count in your main instances. I would really love a change to this , cause Id rather them not count when theres no way to get an commendation.
    So by title and this post you think it is critical for getting mentor, and it does not make sense. I can be a healer never use cleric stance and most likely get a lot of coms. I even hear stories about healers using cleric stance even in the tiniest amounts. For most part, no one died? com the healer. It gets a bit mroe complex with 2 healers when one does all the carrying and the person doing all the carrying does not get any. Pretty insulting but whatever I moved on, I do not need a number to know I did my job well. I just get a bit irritated it was not appreciated.

    Healer can be the most easiest thing or most stressful depending what goes on. healer not doing dps due to carrying spongy tanks/dps eating HEAVY aoes> good healer = good dps = tank dancing tank = healer not doing dps due to carrying spongy tanks/dps eating aoes> DPS keeping up with using combos, > tank that simply holds hate > healer that only heals> dps that has no clue to things = healer that has no clue = tank that has no clue. as far as play difficulty.

    All the achievement says "completed dungeon or trail"

    Now, explain in a simple way WHY UNSYNC AND SYNC needs to be different achievements? what does it show? what does it prove? you have YET TO ANSWER THIS

    I DO however think there should be minimum level sync achievements since that is actually.. a challenge?

    Ive explained it if unsync was not in the equation then most tanks or healers would have more commendations than instances ran. My example was that I had 966 commendations but had just reached 1000 instances, knowing that if unsync was not in the equation and had its on tab that it prob be more like 966 , to 700 normal instances. I just dont care for the false number of instances because even if its a level 15 guild heist to me thats more than any unsync run unless done solo.

    But I just dont see what the big deal is about sepearting the two because they are two different types of instances, Id say if the feature was acutally in the game I dont think anyone would be complaining. But because I am drawing attention to it I guess people think that it makes no sense when it really wouldn't hurt a thing. I never said preformed parties shouldn't count to thats just something other people thought I was getting at. I was just simply stating that I know I have more commendations than normal instances but because I have used unsync with people a good bit it doesnt reflect that and I just simply would rather it did.

    How this got to what it was at the end I have no idea I just would prefer to see my ratio in a legit format instead of always trailing my instances when I know the reason why. I even gave the example of 1000 commendations and 1500 instances well 600 hundred of those could be unsync runs that could have their own tab, thats all I was suggestion. There really isnt anything else to it , is that I find meaning in commendations where others do not and I would rather them reflect what Ive done in duties instead of what Ive done in a totally different type of game instance.

    RIGHT THERE! only YOU! care! meny do not care! Most people don't care about this weird obsession you have. My friend does unsync, runs dungeons 2,3, or 4 people at times, meaning she has less chances at coms, has ALL JOBS to 60, dungeons ran 1,953, coms 2696. She thought it would be neat to know how many she ran compared to what runs she was even eligible for coms, but in the end it is a non-issue.

    the big deal why people are auguring with you, like my self, is because we all feel it SIMPLY DOES NOT MATTER and wonder how much programing time it will take to split it or them talking if it is even important. What you have not answered STILL, is why it IS IMPORTANT AND HOW IT EFFECTS GAME PLAY!

    coms DO NOT MATTER, a ratio DOES NOT MATTER, people com for the weirdest stuff at times. 2 experts ago my friend would be comed for her blm glamor and dps, a LOT.

    And still my question "What would you do when you've capped Dungeon achievements and it no longer tallies?" remains unanswered.

    Why are we comparing commendations to instances ran? They have no real connection to each other.

    would I need to read all 16 pages in order to understand why this is evena thing?

    No you don't it's as pointless at the start as it is at the end xD

    I gotta ask. You're so hung up on the comm to instance ratio, but you don't mention the ratios to trials, guildhests, or pvp. You get comms there too. Why is it only instances that matter?

    Seriously, comms don't make or break you as a good player so stop telling yourself you're a bad tank for not getting a commendation. If you want to improve yourself, parse damage and damage taken, read guides, and manually adjust. You don't need some arbitrary number in an achievement log to tell you that you're doing well.

    I have about 5k instances and around 750 commendations. Does that mean I'm a garbage DPS even though I parsed highest in Savage last night?

    Commendations don't denote who is good or bad. Overall skill does. You could have 10000 commendations and be the worst at your primary job.
