Why can we only give out one player commendation?

I think one is fine and at the end say something like "great party, had fun, everyone was awesome " or something like that.

I've done tank runs and explicitly said at the start it's my first time tanking x dungeon. And at the end some people say I did an amazing job, that left more of an impression on me than some commendation

There have been times where I wish I could give everyone in my a commendation, and I often tell those in my party this. "Man, I wish I could give everybody a commendation. It was such a joy playing with you folks."

But since I cannot give everyone in my party a commendation for not only playing well, but for not behaving like a complete tool, I tend to give my commendation to a fellow damage dealer (knowing that tanks and healers get most of the votes, often based on being a tank/ healer rather than their performance). The only times I don't is if the other damage dealer performed poorly or they left before I could give them my vote.

What happened to typing your appreciation? Why do we need extra commendations. Communicate!

I think it's fine as it is now: optional and can be used for little things in game. SE should never give big rewards for commendation currency. It will ruin its purpose.

If anything, I'd fancy the opposite of commendations. As people already mentioned, sometimes people have no clue about either the content or their job. Not the worst thing, but then they don't communicate. I think communication is key in an MMO.

Exactly;

"Player A, commend Player B, Player B, commend Player C, etc.", we already have an option for giving everyone a commendation.
