Commendations are Sandbagging Solo Players

I play mostly solo. I'm the only player in my clan that hasn't left the game. I don't have a regular fireteam and I dislike LFG. Grouping up with random people usually means dealing with toxic players. I've literally had a guy tell me I should quit the game because he was pissed off about me dying in Duality. If I can do something solo then that's how I play. But now my "guardian ranks" progress is tied to commendations which I only get when playing matchmade content. If they're going to tie progress in G-ranks to commendations then there should be one for players that run solo content. Make it a category unto it's own. Call it "Lone Wolf" or some -blam!-. One commendation for every solo completed activity. It wouldn't be broken or exploitable, and actually be slower in progress than every source of commendations. It would provide feedback to other players about someone's playstyle (which is what I thought these were supposed to be for in the first place). I've been playing lightfall consistently since launch. I've got a commendations score of about 220. At this rate it's gonna be another month before I hit rank 7 and I've finished every other task. Even solo flawlessed a lost sector before they moved it to rank 8. I've got more than a half a million career kills. I just want to see some progress.

  • I’ve been playing solo since CoO, to enjoy this game solo you need to come to terms with the fact that you’re not gonna get everything done in this game or get all the rewards. I agree we should have a rank system for us as well, they know we exist, we even got our own mod last season lol. If your having trouble with commendations play the seasonal activity or strikes. That way you’re almost guaranteed to get two every time. You also get points for giving them. That being said don’t get too excited… our guardians ranks journey as a solo player stops at rank 7. Unfortunately they have raids for 8. I wish they would have made dungeons for 8 and raids for 9 but hey maybe next season :)
