Introduction of a negative commendation button

[Kes13a]

Sometimes I think this board wants XIV to become a toxic hellhole.

please do not generalize. not everyone does, just some like publicity for their bad ideas...

Commends mean nothing anyway so I support the idea just to annoy the folks who take them seriously.

Perhaps the best way to sort out clueless mentors farming mentor roulette not to help but to get a mount.

Introduce a system where you have to maintain a commendation level over a certain period.

Let's say 70% commendation rate.

A player can then use a negative commendation in place of a standard commendation, knocking down the commendation rate percentage.

The mentor will then lose access to mentor roulette until they are able to bring their commendation level percentage up again.

I know some will say this system can easily be trolled, and perhaps it can. However, I can't imagine enough people would use the system in a negative way to truly impact the stats.

I suppose it could also be introduced outside of mentorship too, but I don't really see the point. Those commendations won't mean a thing and a negative commendation wouldn't mean a thing.

The system may have to be tinkered because I assume DPS tend to get fewer commendations overall. I tend to always commend the DPS, especially if they are new and listened to mechanics, but I know most others default to the tank or the healer. Perhaps mostly the healer as I average 2 commendations a dungeon as of late. Never played as a tank.

We dont have "dislikes" in youtube and other places for a (((reason))). Why do you think they'd implement something like that?

That's a weird way to use the echo parentheses...

I used it correctly, not the way the ADL thinks its used for.

I'm totally looking forward to the players that see negative comms as some weird trophy and act as trollish/douchey as possible to farm them! /s

Keep the negativity on Twitter. No need to import it in-game.

Just one question: why?
You know, if Square Enix didn't want mentors to farm the Mentor Roulette for the mount only, they just wouldn't have given the mount as a reward.
Some instances would straight up never start if Mentors weren't there to farm.
Mentors are not paid for this, they barely get ANY benefit from the title (and people get so angry for no reason about that dumb crown I'd even argue it's worse than having nothing displayed) so who cares, really. If only 10% of them even try despite the absolute void of rewards for doing so, I'd say it's already a success.

Hell no. See all the trolls, waiting for such an idea to annoy innocent people ?
