I've tried a few different tricks but nothing works. I'd like to have the basic editor for the comments fields. No matter what I try, it always shows the default filtered HTML editor.

What have you tried yet?
Try creating a new text format called for example "comments". And give anonymous users the permission to use this text format, and of course not the permission to use the filtered html or standard text format.

Tried it for you and it works. Add new text format, select anonymous user role. Add new ckeditor profile and select the created text format under basic setup and you're good to go i think?

I actually tried that, but it didn't work for me. What I did was make a text format called comments, and gave authenticated users permission to use it. I then set up a simple basic toolbar in a new ckeditor profile and assigned it comments text format. The problem is it seems that if a user role has more than one text format set to it, it defaults to the highest one. I can set the comments text format to the highest level so it will be default. What I'd like is to make it so only one ckeditor profile is allowed no matter if the user is allowed more than one type of text format.

Ah I understand. It's a gues but I thought this functionality is available when you're using the WYSIWYG module with the CKEditor library.

Tested it for you and I can not reproduce the required functionality. You can always set the default comment text format to something different then the highest text format by going to your contenttype -> comment fields -> body -> select comment text format under default settings. You can also choose for plain text and disable rich text for the comment fields.. A module that has this functionality would be very nice. The functionality you wish is exactly like used in the Drupal.org website..

And i know where I did see this functionality. It's in the Drupal 6 version of CKEditor. There you can fill in ID's for hiding or showing the editor.. I have no idea why this functionality is removed..

That is the function I miss the most. It made it the perfect module for us. It also had the ability to set a basic format in custom places. That would solve my problem I'm having trying to set the comment editor to be the basic toolbar.

Yes, it was extremely helpful to target specific pages, paths and form components to disable CKEditor. Any chance of this coming back? Disabling CKEditor for anons in comments is one thing, but I want to disable CKEditor for comments for logged in users too.

There are other tickets about visibility settings. In this moment we don't have plan to introduce/develop this feature.
You can use input formats to configure , where CKEditor should be show.
This ticket looks like duplicate of: #1000230: Where is the visibility settings for D7, #1192062: restore d6 style visibility settings (paths, fields, simplified toolbar, etc.), #1020288: What happened to visibility settings in D7?
I close this issue as duplicate of mentioned tickets.
