Mentors...please!

Nice to see you guys trolling now that no one takes you seriously anymore. Now that others are trying to think of ways to change the system you're making a joke of yourself. Well played

But aside from catboys, people who make the duty fun is also who get the commendation from me, since if someone can make Prae less pain full amd actually have fun in there, they damn right deserve my comm!

I hope you were joking, too.

Aw so dedicated to make this off topic AND go dig all my messages, I'm honored :)
And yes, as others have stated too I can give comms to people on their looks and glams, IF no one even talks, actually leaves a good impression I have every right to use it as I will. You're the one who says the commendation system is a joke, so doesn't matter how you use it right? Youre the one here making an absolute joke of yourself tho, when what we were discussing here was CHANGING the system, on how to give comms, and maybe adding different rules to them. My comment, that is not from this topic btw, is on the old system that everyone and their mom knows it doesn't work, so why you think it should be an argument here hmm?

The recent increase to the requirements purged a lot of the dead weight, but it's going to gradually fill up again as time goes on.

Simply making Novice Network opt-in only as opposed to automatic would likely resolve the issue.

Spam invitations to Novice Network was very annoying. Thanks to the experienced players, who warned me that is usually a lot of verbal garbage there. Honestly, I saw enough trash talking in Limsa Lominsa, where someone ERPed again and, it seems, the most stupid ERP makes more sense than Novice Network.

The situation may vary from server to server. But it is obvious that the mentor-novice system does not work correctly at many of its stages. I understand that initially this system had good goals, to encourage players to help each other and strengthen the community, but people, as always, tend to misuse.

I 'm not talking about ending the whole the system of mentor. But if a mentor directly or indirectly offends players, there must be some other leverage other than a report after which such toxic mentors go unpunished. It`s fair. For this reason, it`s very strange to hear cries - "don 't punish the good mentors" in this topic. If you don 't call players idiots and stupid noobs, what are you afraid of? : о

The only thing I've gotten out of this thread is that OP and their friend need to spend less time spamming with pseudo-intellectual fallacies and significantly more on self-critiquing how they approach/converse with others. When your confirmation bias reaches this level of extreme, the problem isn't with others; it's with you.

Regardless, playing a perpetual blame game doesn't accomplish anything. If you feel a mentor—or anyone for that matter—has crossed a line, then report them. All of the tools you need to solve the problem are there, and easily accessible to everyone.

I have to repeat: if these tools existed and were functional, this discussion would not have arisen.

Maybe it is harrassment or should I click the report cheating? A bug maybe? Right click on player and report for RMT? Leaving a suggestion?
