Mentor channel abuse

[MXMoondoggie]

Gilseller makes one account to invite others.. problem continues. But, also, what does barrens mean? lol.

Barrens chat is an old WoW term which talks about a low level high population area chat full of idiots and trolls provoking each other. Usually in a lot of MMO's this is the global chat.

Ahh, thanks for the clarification. TBH i thought it would be more like over-saturation of mentors. Too many chiefs not enough indians.

Well that will be a problem for a while until more newbies get invites but really the concern most people have here is that it'll just be used a crap talking channel. The restrictions do a lot to keep many out but it's not really that difficult to meet requirements to become a mentor so there is a good chance it'll become a place for trolls and idiots within a couple of weeks.

Hopefully if people take up to reporting these people we can keep the chat clear and free for all people, I know I plan to report heavily if need be.

I haven't been able to get in yet.
It's probably for the best I don't see what people are informing our novices to do...

i was able to get in since the beggining and 100 mentors 3 sprouts....lol 1h later 100 mentos 30ish sprotus until last time i checked 100 mentos and 60ish sprouts

i was surprised....sprouts asking questions and mentors answering everything .... some jokes and laughs....so in my server the chat is working as intended i guess. I was expecting trolls and whatnot

so thumbs up for Moogle

Certainly good to hear, didn't see much activity on Coeurl at the moment but what I saw was basic discussion of armor that would hold till 25 or so.

Didn't get into the channel myself, as it was fill, but a friend who was in it said that it was filled with nothing but tank STR-to-VIT change QQing. Sounds like it's really working as intended, lol.

We western players gotta push our first-world problems onto others somehow. Don't like it? Gonna do it more till you do. It's srs biz

So far on Gilgamesh it's been interesting. We've been sitting on 100 mentors to 5-17 sprouts all day. Most of the sprouts just don't want to talk. We've actually had more new players ask how to leave the channel rather than ask someone in it for help. So in terms of 'new players ask for help' it's been about four or five actual questions since it opened up.

On the mentors side, when a legit question is actually asked, the new players get solid answers. They get quest names, locations, what items you need, pretty much everything to answer their question and then some. So it's been a pretty good response to the few meager questions.

There have been some barrens chat moments where conversation would veer off and early in the morning where there were no new players on it was pretty much just used to spread information about new patch stuff.
TL;DR On Gilgamesh it seems the sprouts don't want help.

Well, on Siren, I was on for 6 hours and the only "trash talk" there was were people arguing over which Final Fantasy was better. Luckily though, once it got out of hand, a few people stepped in.
