After getting to rank 8, I see my commendations for raids and dungeons are not retroactive. I was not pleased with this. Got to rank 9 and see that AGAIN, I have to get more commendations I already have. Why? I have them already. 100 more isn't going to prove I'm any more a "ally" or "leader".
On top of requiring grandmaster completions? Please allow us to do these earlier. Maybe unlocks early if you get to rank 9?. One month of higher guardian ranks is not worth the effort if I'm locked out until way too late in a season. I will not interact with this system if it stays like this. And it resets each season? Lmao.
