And I've only been playing since July of last year, yet I have just slightly over 600 commendations while playing healer almost exclusively. Commendations aren't just highly subjective. They are 100% subjective. You are completely at the mercy of how other players think and feel about you, whether the reasons for said thoughts and feelings are legit or not. Everyone has different opinions on what makes a good or bad tank, healer, and dps.

And let's not forget that there are other requirements to become a mentor besides comms. Completing 1,000 dungeons is no small feat, even if you did take the "easy" method and just kept running trials. I just recently completed my 800th dungeon personally. It's still a grind either way. And then you also need to have at least 1 tank, 1 healer, and 1 dps all at max level AND have completed all of their respective class/role quests.

People need to stop pretending that increasing the commendation requirement AT ALL, let alone fivefold, is a good idea when the comm system is based on subjectivity to begin with.
