I think I leave too quickly to even get comms lol.
I don't rly stick around for them.

Doesn't matter how long I stick around. People just generally hate me, I think. I main healer too, and pretty much only play WHM in content. Even if I save a run I don't get commendations typically. It's kind of sad.

I will bet all the gil in my retainer list that you show up as healer number 2 on someone's party list and people just pick healer number 1 as default.

Most of the time no one does anything special that makes them deserving of a comm, either I just don't give any or I just randomly give it.
Honestly I am more likely to not give it to someone than to give it, if someone is screwing up or behaving poorly then I keep that in mind and pick someone randomly from everyone else.

Yeah, if someone does something that I consider above and beyond I will throw them a commendation. If not, then it's random. If I don't like anyone, then no one gets one. lol I had a healer rescue me last night during the Engles boss in Copied Factory. Would I have been fine? Probably. It was a close shave though, and I knew that. I had my Reaper's Hell's Ingress ready go, and I was mid teleport when they grabbed me. Either way I appreciated their concern and tossed them a commendation at the end.

I definitely have a Commendation Gambit going.

1st place goes to anyone who goes above and beyond.

If everyone did what was expected of them then Comm depends on what I am. If I'm healer it goes to tank, tank goes to healer, DPS goes to other DPS.

if the person I wanted to comm is unavailable then it goes to the person with the coolest name. Unimaginative names are grounds for disqualification.

That is probably the case often. I also think people just hate me.

Play as a healer and spam guildhests. That's the fastest way to grind for the mount.

That's a lot of work. I know people do that to get mentor quick, but at this rate, I should have 200 commendations by the next expansion.

You can get comms pretty fast actually. Within a couple of hours, you can grind for 200 comms. When I was new I spammed guildhests to get 1500 comms to unlock mentor roulette only to realize later that I needed to have unlocked and cleared all content except for savage in order to be able to run that roulette and get dailies from it. Use macros for greeting and a macro when the duty is over. At least it worked most of the time for me

That's because you aren't using a macro that's all like "Don't forget to comm your healer UWU!"

and we thank you for it.

Personally, I never give them to anyone who feels like they need to ask for them. No matter what they did to earn it before, it is automatically null and void the second they beg.
