If I que for the mentor roulette, I shouldn't really be getting Ravana EX. Sure, I don't mind helping others with Ravana EX and getting them their clear, and getting my tomes, but in all seriousness content that is level 60 should not be on the mentor roulette. Could argue that even level 50 content shouldn't be on it either, but I suppose considering there is a substantial amount of level 50 content and it would be hard to tell when the player is "more experienced with the job system"...

I thought the Heavensward EX primals aren't a part of the mentor roulette?

I hope there's a possibility that some get stripped of their mentor status on here.
As there are some people who are stirring a pot of drama in there and cannot leave personal affairs outside of the Novice channels.
Quite some unjustified kicks have been going on and hope it will get looked into.

The Mentor channel on my server has become a mix of Barrens chat and crafting sales.

This better not be SE's official stance, because that just opens it up to abuse and unfiltered nonsense that doesn't belong in the channel.

Going to say it, I'm not a Mentor. When i heard about the Mentor idea in the beginning I thought it would be specific Mentors for just 1 or 2 jobs, but finding out that you need to have a tank, dps and a healer at 60 kinda erked me. What about the people who, while only have 1 or 2 jobs at 60, are actually good at their jobs? I remember reading in this thread that there should be ranked Mentors, like for example, theres a sch looking for help but theres only a Mentor who leveled whm, theses jobs, while technically similar, are not totally compatible like the whm doesn't know if eos/selene should be on obey or sic. Maybe there should be chats with just jobs specifics like a chat for Scholars with just 1 Mentor and like 10 trainees( If you have all heals at 60 then you can join other chats) so it'll be more geared towards that job.

Also maybe after the trainee leaves they get the option to rate their Mentor based on how much they went out of their way, or if it was just in dungeons. Also if they were fulger or inconiderite ( This stuff should be consider reasons to stripp the Mentor title) . If they got reviews that said " He tried to help but his tips weren't helpful " then maybe another Mentor with great reviews can co Mentor the chat to make corrections or clear confusion to both trainees and the other Mentor . Also make it possible to let green leaves decline the inv to the chat thats impossiblly annoying. O also make the chat excesible to those who want help, theres tons of evidence in df that just because you're level 60 doesn't mean you master a job. Rate this from 1 to 5 if this was a great idea :)

No you still need Sephirot normal and A1N to A4N completed for Mentor roullette.

To get mentor roullette you must complete all trials and dungeons from 2.0 to 3.2 with the exception of Rav EX, Bis EX, Thordan EX, A1S-A4S and Alexander Midas.

The queue is pretty fast too surprisingly. The only positive thing I've gotten from mentor...another roullette...

- Remove the 100 Mentor Limit and increase it to 200 or 250
- Consider the Implementation of multiple and language based Novice Networks, freely to choose from which language

- Consider Mentor-Points (like recommendation), so you can see who is actually "qualified" and didnt just reached the "requierements"
- Allow Mentors to be removed without loosing their status

- Consider WHAT you really wanted to achive , after 40h of gameplay you might still need tutoring

PLEASE tell me that this is a safe kick-able offence. This imo is one of the worst sins you could commit in a channel for newbies.

No you can be banned for " unfairly " kicking" someone for doing this
