OP, don't be fooled, not all mentors wear crowns! Take your time and play the game. There are lots of rude players in the community, just ignore them, but there are also lots of nice ones too. Don't let a single experience define the game or community for you. Stay Calm and Carry on Warrior of Light!

03-09-2017, 03:32 PMBigRed5392please stop skimming my posts. :) You are assuming things things. I actually do give a lot. I offer tips to people who want them. I help people run content, I craft people items.Quote:

Also i have everything max an am a 2 star hw crafter I'm trying to update my gear to carbon weave and wasn't hqing things. I got it fixed that's to the post i did.
I wasn't asking for craft help from you either, just saying I don't have the time to read a guide, and play the game.
my advice to you dude, ask questions.
as you said things are a give and take... not a assume and berate. :)
you assume too much and don't ask questions for clarification. And berate people out of ignorance. -
03-09-2017, 04:58 PMZioSerpeSorry but no, if you have time to play you have time to see/read a guide.Quote:

another issue I see, is too much people thinking that if you are 60 then automatically you also are i275. It is not. -
03-10-2017, 12:49 AMBigRed5392no. you can play this game for 30 min to get something done, sifting through links and guides to find accurate info can take an hr. You don't know how much i work or how often, so saying I am able to do something I can't is assuming.Quote:

As for the first kick: I understand you being a first time and wanting to take it a little slower. Personally I wouldn't kick you for it.
Keep in mind though: As a tank (granted, it takes a bit of experience) you have to assess what your group is capable of.
It's your job not to pull more than you know you can handle.
It is also your job to pull as much as the group can handle.
No one wants strategic and slow approaches on mob groups / bosses that don't warrant it. -

2 posts for char limit
Good guides are done when the content is new and are usually done with gear available at the time, think MTQ capture. Yes those guides become outdated eventually (insert skip soar meme here) but they do cover all the skills, then is on you to use your brain to adapt to your group damage and stuff.Quote:

Make that 3 posts
And lastly, you ARE spending a good deal of time in this thread arguing your point, I won't go as far as saying that your posts are lenghty, some of them are; now I understand you could be doing this from work (I know I do) and that you might not be able to open and watch a video about a videogame (I know I can't) but you can still read a guide there instead of posting and vent your frustration.
One again, you have the tools to take action against the person who wronged you, and that is reporting the player in game, it is NOT coming here and complaining in the forums about mentors because you had a couple bad experience. -

Because that's how you do dungeons. If you aren't doing dungeons that way you're playing wrong. Do it properly next time.

I agree on watching guides for complicated fights like Zurvan or AS but I don't think it should be mandatory for every single dungeon... what's wrong with summing up the mechanics in a few words? It is a multiplayer game, there SHOULD be communication and not everyone reading their guides and then do their thing on their own.
Most Dungeon bosses are easy enough to be summed up in a few lines, like "kill adds, don't move when x, etc." -
03-11-2017, 08:20 PMBigRed5392WoW assuming much? take a chill pill dude. What i do in the rest room is honestly none of your business, and shocking not everyone learns from guides video or text. I don't make any group i do content miserable as i actually pay attention. During fights. Never caused a wipe yet. You guys really assume too much.Quote:

I find it lazy when people don't do that, as that is a sign of a bad group leader. And it is a sign of a bad group leader refusing to listen.
if you must know i access this on my phone, and have replies sitting out, I also only read op and read through most replies till 1 catches my eye and form a discussion.
People on these forums tend to parrot the same strawman/hyperbole to try to make their argument "worth reading", when it is just the same thing over again. Adding nothing new, no solutions, or just like some of you down right insulting others who don't agree with you.
Not everyone NEEDS to read a guide, more so if they play a long time, or pay attention in fights. To make a claim "if you can't/don't read a guide you suck be default" is being rude and arrogant. A pox in a pretty good community. No one needs to deal with that type of attitude, or should it be welcomed.
How do you think guides are made? People jump in and do the fights to learn the fight.
Also, my g/f did watch mtq guide for second coil turn 3 and 4 which are 10-20 min long, if you sit on the toilet for that amount of time I suggest going to a doctor.
Also reading/replying on a forum takes less time to find an accurate and highly used guide.
Imo people push guide reading to be lazy, and not be forced to communicate. :) but again just my opinion. -

Do some people have nothing better to do than spend their whole day on the forums, necroing old posts, replying to people that likely don't even play anymore? Wew
