Need better incentive to Commendate

[Derio]

Literally just play healer in dungeons. Most of the time your tank will give you the comm or you get lucky and get 2 or 3 comms. If you play tank, play as a warrior and go as fast as possible will usually result in at least 1 comm.

Playing as a dps in 8 man+ content you usually have to play RDM or SMN and get a raise on someone to get a comm or you can get lucky and get the pity comm.

I have about 9000 on my main and 5000 on my alts. Just play Tank and Healer and you get them even when you are having an absolute stinker.

As Tank, if you are rotating all your cooldowns and Invuns and mass pulling in expert you will get so many because people appreciate when you go fast and healers appreciate when you don't melt.

As Healer, just be a DPS healer that keeps regen uptime. Tanks love that. Skip the RP macros.

As a DPS, I'm sorry, just swap to Tank or Healer. People rarely comm you even when you play an absolute blinder. It's unfortunately the way of the game.

You don't need to 'farm' them. They come super fast on these roles.

TBF I wouldn't mind letting us all have like 4 comms each time since it means I can help others to get their mentor roles or mounts faster.

The main reason I always comm is creative glam and/or food names are my fav along with being overall friendly to others during the trials/dungeon. Also, I give the healer or tank the comm unless something terrible happened, and we all died multiple times without their help, or the tank did single pulls the entire way during a capped or EXDR.

Finally, I often play as RDM for the reset day, so I get comms for just raising others or carrying PF to save us if the healer died, but I can only do this once because of the long CD limitations.

I've been about 100 Comms away from the 1500 for like a month XD

You have one healer at 100 and the rest at 70... You sure you're talking to your party? I can't fathom having healers with those levels and not already being over 1500... Unless you didn't use DF on your healers that often. Just literally, do a few rous as healer, say your hellos, be a good person to be around in the group and you'll easily see triple and septuple comms depending on the duty size.

Step up your portrait game people, I'm not comm'ing someone with a passport photo lol

just spam guildhest, mentors will commend you if you say "hey Im farming for commends," because you're helping them with mentor roulette.

People like this are the reason why guildhests are the most common thing in mentor roulette. I actively refuse to give commendations to anyone who asks for them. Do not take this advice.

You say this, but a common thing I hear from people who farm out Mentor Roulette is that they prefer Guildhests over something like Praet or an EX that they will in all likelyhood not clear, it's not a great situation, but this is how it goes.

commendation Priority

1. They were friendly/Nice.
2. They have a cute/cool character.
3. Idk they didn't play badly lol.

Let me completely filter out commendations, if not outright remove them from the game. Add their Achievement Rewards to the Master of Rolls. Commendations add more strife to the game than accolades. I mislike the game coercing me to pick a 'favorite teammate.' The system is counter-productive in an MMO where we are regularly matched with 7 other players but are only allowed to commend a single person.

If you want to commend another player, the most effective way is to acknowledge their strengths and deeds in the game's text, rather than this passive anonymous system. This is an MMO and I want to encourage communication.

How the hell does the game coerce you into picking a favorite teammate? You know you can just not give a commendation, right?
