New commendation Achievement

Not against the idea but I don’t care. All I have to say is that comms are given arbitrarily most of the time and depend heavily on which job you are playing and what kind of content you do rather than the quality of your game play.

They don’t reflect how well you do and many people just blindly give them to the healers for...healing them! I got 6 comms in an AR (CT) run yesterday on an astro I was levelling for doing pretty much nothing other than spamming group heals occasionally and babysitting that one dps. I rarely do ARs but they are an easy source of comms for healers.

If you are a tank, you get less comms than a healer but you still get them regularly and somewhat steadily.

If you play a dps, it is down to luck: you can have a pretty much perfect run, take only unavoidable damage, be the lone survivor and finish the boss by yourself, parse significantly higher than everybody else (we can’t talk about it and the game doesn’t provide feedback) on a job that should be near the bottom and get nothing at all. You can also get comms randomly for doing nothing special or even if you do stupid things.

Then, many don’t care at all about giving comms and if you queue with friends, there are none.

Or you get the opposite. Had half the party I was with go down at the end of a dungeon and managed to save it before we wiped with DPS playing tank. Finish the rest cleanly, get 0 comms. I'm rarely disappointed when I don't get any but in those situations...it's a little like wtf lol.
