New commendation Achievement

[Imora]

Started this account in 5.3. Not even 1k yet and mostly play healers.

Yes please I'm at 7500 and I already leave instantly after a duty so I don't get more. There's no "pride" in making that number bigger, while your at it give a new tier to mentor roulette as well.

It doesn't need to be mounts, maybe a title or a weird fashion item, its not about being "superior and having rare mounts" but it feels kinda meh right now.

I'm at 6600-ish. Been playing since 2.0 launch. I know I'm definitely in the minority though.

I think an achievement at 10K would be nice, but make it a title, not a physical object. "The Revered" might work.

This is just going to encourage people to spend even more time farming commendations in guildhest roulette, and dragging everyone else back to level 10 with them.

As most players have already reached 3k comms by now, I think the dev team could implement the next step of the achievement. Maybe with a cool glamour to boot. Something like 10k comms? or maybe 15k. At least would make it useful past the 3k

What for? It's just bragging rights at this point.

They could put an orchestrion roll achievement instead. Since some of the rolls cannot be purchased directly on the market board, some have to be purchased with bicolor gemstones. It would have to be a really high count for the achievement though, like pretty much all the rolls up to 7.0 that can be obtained in-game. Would have to not count those from the mogstation or promotions.

I definitely think they should add a lot more. One for 5k, 10k, 20k 50k and 100k. And then wait for people to post on the forums that mentors need at least 100k comms, because I know it'll happen.
They could add titles on 10k, 50k and 100k and add a floating commendation I medal minion for 100k. Or a mount. But none of this is important just a nice goal.

this is a little alarming. ive been playing since before they added the commendation and i only have like 3.2k or something. i couldn't imagine 10k+ and beyond... especially for new players who start at 0. didn't they stop veteran rewards because of that very same reason?

Commendations are only occasionally tied to good (or above average) gameplay. DPS are shortchanged most of the time. Healers and tanks just get tons of them. But I see it both ways. It is hard to stand out as a DPS in the first place. Secondly, how often are you waiting on content because of DPS? Aside from maybe the post-ARR 24-man raids, it is universally waiting on healers and sometimes tanks. Regardless of how well they play, we rain down commendations on them simply because we couldn't even get into that content without them.

By the OP's same token, "most" players have High Roller. Let's go ahead and make one for 2M Jumbo Cactpot and 10000 Triad Roulettes.

People still give commendations? Even as a sprout, I rarely get any nowadays, even if I play well and/or I'm tanking.
I guess I should start leveling my healers more.
