Commendation Rewards

[FelisC]

Instead commendations are given out to friends and FC members, like it’s something to be expected from their in group. What is it with this group mentality? Can this community stop throwing around commendations like candy? And you know, actually give to people that earned it?

I seriously doubt most commendations are given to friends and FC mates, given that unless you're actually grinding them and queuing for it on purpose, you won't be playing with anyone you know.

Also, if I might point out, the actual text in the commendation window put in there by Square Enix says: "Commend the player who left a positive impression upon you."

Whatever you think that is, is up to you, but I don't always commend the "best" player. I actually usually commend nice, funny and chatty people. ^.^

Spamming Titan HM as healer to help people get their relics, while solo sch healing because secondary healers usually get pushed out, together with few of the DPSers, and voila. There you get like 5 commends a run usually. Did that for my achievements.

Also, this thread isn't about how to get commendations. I think everyone has already figured out how to get them fast, if you want to.

OP was asking for more rewards. I'm like, sure, but I don't care, and it kind of doesn't seem like there should be any in the first place. That's not in the spirit of commendations really.

Well commendations were put in to get people to be nicer to each other in dungeons, and they accomplished that really well; at least initially there was noticeably more positive interaction between people. You just have to hang the carrot, even if it's a really small one, and players will march towards it.

Considering the grand majority of people that have them all already boosted and cheated their way up -- I sure hope not.

I have nearly 700. Never cheated. Role a healer and don't be awful.

seriously, if you are not near or do no have the 500 commendations yet don't be angry at everyone else. the Amount of dungeons you have done vrs the amount they have done. You might want to realize; you aren't so great at your job. I hear so many people complain about not getting commendations on dps but the only dps I don't get commendations on are the ones I know that I'm not so good at.

I got 50 today just by healing HM primals. Don't be bad and you won't have anything to complain about.

It still takes a while but you could have 4 people all queue up for the 1st guildhest and only select a less used language. Odds are they'd be group together and ensure they always get commendations.

Theres no need to do this, you could get 500 Recomm in a week if u would love to farm the second guildhest a whole day, as a tank or healer.

So far I didn't do much solo content, took a break from it, as I was disappointed about the behavior of randoms, preferring to play with mates from FC and LS.

That said I am sitting on 310 right now, I would have maxed it otherwise, all legit, no PvP.

I wanted to have that barding, only to see that it's only the head gear.. now I'm happy my Chocobo is close to Rank 10, will have decent gear, and ready to be trained (seems nice!)

and that gold mecha eww...

So I'm in no rush, unless if I remember they mentionned doing some stuff which will require the mecha. We still have the one from our main story, and unless we can dye that.. shrugs
