The Mentoring Requirements... *Rant Style*

[Jetstream_Fox]

Oh look, another player who doesn't meet the reqs and thinks the reqs are horrible. I'm seeing a recurring pattern. Why you need all three roles has been explained repeatedly, and if you still don't get it then no amount of tutoring can help you at this point. I also have no idea how you somehow take "people have bad experiences in Duty Finder" and end up with that inexplicably invalidating the mentor system requiring high level (and thus, generally experienced) players. I also have to laugh at "blatantly tell people they're not good enough". Insecure much? Only as much as you're "not good enough" to run Gubal Library at level 41. It's the bar they set, and you meet it or you don't. Seriously though, just...think about it for a minute. ACTUALLY think about it, the role requirement thing. If you tried that instead of just telling yourself how right you are about your anger, maybe you'd understand what people are telling you.

Did you read?

The game locks players out of this glorified linkshell based off of a level requirement of each war class at level 60, have 1000 dungeons/raids ran and at least 300 commendations. Do you know how you get those two requirements? Through the Duty Finder. Do you know how you meet the level 60 in each category? Through Fates and the Duty Finder. Again my reference to the post about Duty Finder moments is to point out there is a vast area of players at level 60 WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY. Yet these players will have the opportunity to teach a new player harmful habits.

I play BRD at 60 and DRK at 60, not to mention a 57 NIN, 50 PLD, 50 SCH and have a 50 DRG, have 700 commendations mostly as DPS and have ran roughly 2000 instances. But please tell me how I can't speak to new players on how to effectively play this game or teach them how to glamor, or how to dye gear, how to read the map, how to map link, how to go into the system config and move around hot/crossbars, how to make the chat box bigger, how to remove or show additional info boxes, how to display enemy health as a percent, how to make a linkshell, show them how to change text color, show them around the maps and get them the ability to teleport, explain what shout, tell, say and yell are for, how to setup a Party Finder, explain what retainers do or what GC seals are used for.

I pass the requirements of this system except for a level 60 healing class. But please enlighten me how I can't help a new player learn all the things I said above ALL because I don't have a 60 healer. THAT is what I meant when this system so stupidly designed is telling players they aren't good enough to teach people core basics of this game.
