To be fair the mount doesn't matter, as long as it fills slots and gets parties started I don't really care. If a player leaves you can at least make progress in most instances.

Commendations are even easier to get, just play as healer and you're bound to get 2-3 commendations every run at best. In order to stop "freeloaders" they actually have to remove the burger king icon, and many issues would be solved instantly.
It's even quicker to spam guildhests as a tank imo since tanks are default top of the list and most just autopilot the first name before leaving. They also take all of five seconds to finish.
I guess it depends on the time of the day, because all the times I've went as tank I rarely got guildhests. Mostly as DPS though.
This happens precisely because someone people farm commendations through guildhest by either queueing into one of the first (the dullahan one) or with guildhest roulette, and using tanks or healers, which mean the rest of the spots are filled by dps newbies or by mentors.
I honestly dislike this method of farming, though, and pretty much get out of the guildhests I get as soon as they're finished, without commendating or even taking the guildhest reward.
In relation to commendations, I'd like to be able to give more than one and do it outside of the instance. Sometimes I look back and think, actually that player was really good and I feel bad for not being able to do more than one.
Aha the ol guildhest mentors. Occasionally when I land in 'Under the Armor' guidhest I'll see someone begging for commendations because they're close to obtaining the crown, and they're often showering the party with excessive and false praise, complimenting everyone's appearance, and using tons of emotes... I can't bring myself to commend someone in a duty where you just push two buttons , stand in aoes and not take noticeable damage, and clear in 30 seconds.
U + Leave Duty the millisecond the bad man dies is the only correct way to do guildhests
Ah yeah, I don't consider that to be adequate, so to speak. I know plenty of achievement hunters do this method, and whether I had a guildhest or not, didn't make a difference for me except for speeding up the process by a margin. I always had more fun when runs were with 70+ content.
Yeah it's what I did too lol, no need for rewards
Well If you're really good at DPS you can do it too, I started this character during Shadowbringers and I'm already up to 740. The Gilded Magitech Armor is pretty cool.
