If he was warned what he was doing wrong, and continued to do it, then they are beyond a Mentors help and are just holding back the alliance in such a fight. You need more details about what actually happened, all you did in your OP was sketch around it to purposely villainize the Mentor.

The mentor barely did anything.

And you're still not fully explaining the situation that supposedly happened.

The mentor status only turns back on automatically when a mentor does the mentor roulette, other than that when you turn it off it stays off but you're still able to talk in the novice network chat. Personally I think all rewards for the mentor status should be removed and placed some where else, a person that truly wants to help their fellow players do it not for what rewards they can get they do it because they want to. Those are the true mentors.

And this is why I said "NO" after one of my friends suggested that I should become a mentor. Ain't nobody got the time for that!

That's sad because most of us really are out there trying to do good work. You don't hear about us because we're doing what we're supposed to do so nobody thinks to remark on it.

I'm sorry that people are having negative experiences with members of the mentor program but I think the number of actual cases is exaggerated by the forum echo chamber effect. Most of us are just trying to help.

But seriously, that was a dumb thing to do. If it were anyone else besides my friend that I was coaching, I'd say we could make it through Ozma with one less person. I don't vote kick unless they're AFK, offline, or purposefully wiping the group. It goes both ways. I honestly don't see the need in getting rid of the mentor system, just make it easier to report mentors but do it in a way that there has to be a thorough investigation into who was at fault. I've been berated for talking about mechs in Titan EX and even copied off the wiki for the gaol part, but someone disagreed with me at every turn and no one got anywhere.

This x1000. One time I was giving advice to my cohealer (whm) in Odin. They kept bleeding through their mp due to poor no management, and were telling the bard to constantly play ballad and complained about low dps after we wiped. I suggested to not use cure III on a single person, because it was an aoe and it was a waste of mp. Told them not to spam medica II as well, and they got mad at me and said "mind your own business. I'm black listing you", even though I was just trying to help. We ended up having to abandon. A reminder to not give job advice, even when it's holding the team back.

I never initiate a vote kick. I believe in giving people chances, even if they're berating me.

7 pages later and OP hasn't even tried to clarify any post asking for clarification

If you do an 8-man with a premade of 4 people you could still be kicked. It's not a majority needed, it's only 50%, including the one who started the kick. (Same goes for 4-man, only the kicker +1 needed)
