Mentor Roulette Working as Intended?

Just got out of Mentor Roulette, got Sohm Al, first think i saw as odd. Then got to first boss and like i always do see if anyone had questions about mechanics. got awkward stares and crickets. And then was told "you have a crown Miss Mentor, don't you know you can just burn this boss now?" so i checked levels and everyone had multiple 60s?!?! and realized i did not see bonus tomes message at the start. WTF, thought the Mentor roulette was to help new players through content, or was i mistaken?

I THINK the patch notes said the Mentor Roulette is to help people who are struggling to get roles filled in the party make up.

mentor roulette will try to match you with new player, but if it don't find new player, it can send you to any content, that a bit silly actually.

I don't find it that silly. If it was for finding first timers only, you'd probably be stuck waiting for a long time if there's new new players in the duty finder.

ok, all of the above makes sense. guess not i will check levels before i open make another ass out myself. LOL

It is working as intended. You just have to realize that there's an over abundance of mentors out there. So if it can't find a new player, it'll throw you in something random to help que times for people waiting. Another thing is, just because people have multiple 60s doesn't be they don't need help. Contrary to popular belief, Mentors aren't limited to just helping first timers. It's entirely possible that someone in that party could've used some kind of advice somewhere in the dungeon, such as pointers for their rotation. Need to keep the world free of Ice Mages ya know.

"you can just burn this boss now?" as if you ever couldn't.

Agreed, i never meant to insinuate that only sprouts or new players needed help. I for one am the first person to speak up in an instance when i have never done something or have not become 100% in my role in a specfic instance and always open to advice tips suggestions and critiques to become a better tank/healer/dps and have the ability to pull my weight accordingly. My reasoning behind the post was not the multiple 60s, it was my apparent misunderstanding behind the mentor roulette in general. I am always open to helping anyone is is open to learning. I should not have to be open to being disrespected when i do. Having the ninja(in this case, but anyone in general) face pull mobs if i am a few seconds behind the time he thinks the mob should be pulled, or trying to explain mechanics of a boss and they get impatient.

This. As long as it doesn't already have a mentor in the party, it'll stick you into whatever needs filling.

My first 5 Mentor Roulettes were Dusk Vigil with people who knew what they were doing. XD
