The Mentoring Requirements... *Rant Style*

[Odett]

You obviously didn't read because as I stated being a level 60 isn't the reason why I think this system is going to fail. It's the fact that a player who doesn't have all the 3 areas at 60 CAN be more knowledgeable on the basics of this game such as editing the hotbar in the settings, text customizations, display customizations and even overall helpfulness. Not one of those things I just listed is granted to you by level 60 and not everyone at level 60 even knows about some of those features, such as the extended crossbar function for the ps4. But you and everyone who thinks having a level 60 in all three categories means you're the most knowledgeable about the basics of this game just go ahead and keep thinking that.

and I, meeting the requirements, also know about those things, so again, you're not proving anything at all here.

Should've worded it better, but I couldn't think of anything else. My word-choice has never been very good. I basically just meant players that aren't interested in helping and are only after rewards. Also this interview states that there are achievements tied to the mentor roulette, it's the third question. I really don't think it should have rewards either though, someone should be a mentor simply because they want to be one and to help newer players, they shouldn't need some title or achievement. But that's just my opinion.

I completely agree with you.

What he's trying to say is what I've been trying to say before. The mentoring requirements are built around the Heavensward world rather than the A Realm Reborn world which makes the requirements bad.

(that's because endgame currently exists at Heavensward)

You're scenario makes sense except it is completely irrelevant to mentoring as those people are only exposed to the basic fundamentals shown to them with in the first 40hrs..

It's not irrelevant at all. Let me quote myself in a post I directed at you earlier in order to avoid redundancy:

@Toguro
I definitely agree that 40 hours is too short for a player to be considered a newbie, but think of that mentor period more as an icebreaker. After they're no longer newbies, you can add them to your friends list, or make a linkshell if the player would like further guidance into the game.

If you were a lv50 Tank, DPS, and Healer for 2 years or since 2.x release, what more have you learned about fundamentals to teach newbies as 60? Only 5 (easy)dungeons from 51-59 and 5 abilities that in no way effect basic fundamentals..

and these are things that you would never state had you leveled a tank to 60. Due to the massive amounts of HP that WARs are able to regenerate through Bloodbath+IR+Berserk in their offensive stance, as well as PLD getting two combos on their way to 60, the tanking fundamentals radically change from "keep agro" to one that rewards utility combos and aggressive play (something you can't do as a PLD at 50), but again, you neither know or can provide insight on these things because you somehow think that having a level 30 Marauder means you know how to tank.

But I'm not able to be apart of this system, how hard is that too understand?

Nothing is stopping you except yourself from meeting the requirements.

THERE IS NO POINT TO MAKE THE REQUIREMENT OF ALL 3 CLASSES AT 60.

and repeating the same thing over and over won't make you correct either

But guess what? I'll be locked out of achievements and titles when they come out because of a gaming preference

If your intentions are selfish, then it's probably best you don't become a mentor in the first place.
