Progress indication
This game has a problem with the menus and UI, there are so many tabs, UI elements, pages etc. to pass through when looking for 1 specific piece of information.
My suggestion is creating some sort of progress indication for items that are locked behind commendations when browsing the shops, so you can avoid the navigational nightmare the menus has become. I suggest either add the progress information to the already existing text but put it in brackets for the locked items, or add a completely new UI element to display it.
It would also be nice if a shortcut button that directly takes you to the locked commendation when viewing a locked item could be added. This would of course save the player from the navigational nightmare.
Example of a locked trinket item:
Unlocked from the commendation 'Commendation name' (Class progress/Class needed)
Example of a locked item behind a traditional commendation:
Unlocked from completing the commendation 'Commendation name' (Grade x/Grade y)
I believe this QoL feature would make it easier for both newer or more seasoned players to keep track over their commendation progress and allows for easier navigation.
Furthermore adding a "Completing this commendation unlocks the 'cosmetic name + icon'" text to locked commendations, would also make it easier to see when you unlock new cosmetics when browsing the menus on the seas. I know some cosmetic unlocks are already displayed in their respective commendation tab, take tall tales as an example. However This collects the information rather than spreading it out.
I hope this reaches someone at Rare,
