The first 1-2 weeks when commendations was a new feature I got so many so fast.. I reached 100 in a matter of a couple of weeks. Now it seems like people have stopped giving them out for the most part and I still haven't even reached 300 yet. I still give them out though. I think people stopped giving them out because they want the rewards to be rare so that when they reach 500 commendations it wont be so special anymore to have that gold colored Magitek Armor mount. That's just my theory.
