Should commendations be revised?

Honestly, Mentors shouldn't even be a thing. Mentor Roullettes shouldn't be a thing; The Mentor roullette should be opened after you've completed the relevant dungeons X amount of times, especially since i've seen people who aren't Mentors be a lot more helpful than the mentors in the group when something is requested or someone has an issue apparent to the group. The Novice Network should be an opt-in channel that anyone can join (if people don't use the channel for intended purpose and turns into trade chat, report them and have them removed).

Let commendations be a currency, and don't just unlock the item at a certain threshold, use the comms to purchase the rewards. Next, start introducing more rewards, both cosmetic and trivial consumables like champagne, etc... and let people purchase rewards with said comms; And don't do this just once, keep updating with more rewards down the line.
This system would (A) incentivise people to continually act in a positive manner to keep getting comms, along with doing dungeons with the general community over just doing premades (B) Remove the stigma from those have mentor status as the servants that some people seem to think of them as (C) Give people something to work towards if they see something they like.
