    Depending on how it's implemented I think it could be pretty cool, if it is a simple comm who you want and that's it then I don't think it'll be for the better though. Part of the choose one/limited is actually good for you, every single instance isn't an example of "no one likes you" lol when there are limited comms.

    Perhaps you get 1 + a pool of comms each week (or day), and can't stack them on one person. So you can always commend one person but if you'd like you can draw from your pool for extra, which would be limited in some form (for example 7 a week). There are other ways too although.. I'm not sure each role is a good one since it means in many cases the tank and healer get their own opportunity always, should avoid "always" situations. Perhaps to avoid variables (like a pool you pull from) the amount of commendations you can give is 1/3 the party size round up but no less than two, unfortunately the point of a pool size idea was that if you LOVED everyone in the group you could comm everyone - obviously you can't if 1/3 a 4 party, min 2, means only half the team gets comms.

    Like other things I've mentioned in other threads, this is one of the examples I think it could be cute to utilize the mog mail system a little bit. Getting an aetheryte ticket from a mysterious sender and other little pleasant surprises. If that then I also think they should add a little reward for using your comms, some karma imp noticing you recognize and commend others and so sometimes does something. Although to be honest I've thought they could just make certain challenge log rewards selectable to make those challenge log rewards even more valuable (could choose EXP to drop on a specific job in scroll form, specific tome type (scaling numbers of course!), seal type of your choice, etc - would make those challenge logs better for all to complete).

    Rewards system isn't really needed but I think if they made it so you could comm more people and having those happy moments of just being reminded "someone liked you", it's a good community encouragement (and encouraging people to encourage others is good lol). Just a small boost to the community feeling, of course there will always be people who won't take part/don't care but getting people together holding hands cliche stuff isn't too bad :P (like giving your kid the ability to give someone a gift, even though you're the one paying for it, it's still good for the kid and the person receiving, in this case SE is the parent).
