I have over 6000 commendations and nothing to show for it. Thoughts on mentorship.

[Gabadabs]

You do know people give commendations for being a friend/FC mate that might have qued separately from you, or someone from the same server, had a glamor they liked, a name they liked, the person who died the least, or the person who was there last right? That those reasons are more likely to be the reason behind a person getting a commendation than being helpful. Besides that they were a tank or healer. Where either roll has to be absolutely the worst for a run to not get a commendation. There is a whole section of the player base who are very helpful that touch the DF, but almost never solo que or even partial que.

But... honestly, who cares whether they get a commendation? If other people who aren't helpful get one, what does it matter? If someone gets one for being helpful, great! If they get one because they played tank, great! It's all pretty inconsequential.
