Obviously you don't need to do extreme or savage content to be a good mentor, but if I wanted someone to give me tanking advice and had to choose between someone who's been clearing savage content since Heavensward but rarely does roulettes because they don't need the rewards, or someone with 5000 commendations but hasn't touched a single extreme trial or savage raid, I'll go with the savage clearer.
Heck I would rather they went with a point system where for instance, leveling dungeons are 1 point, 50/60/70 dungeons are 2, level 80 content is 3 points, raids are worth 2 points, trials are worth 2 points, extreme trials are worth 4, savage clears are worth 10 points, ultimates are worth 30 points, etc and you just need x points instead of commendations.
