Mentor Players Kicking newer players from Duty Ques for low DPS

[Brian_]

Im glad you havent left because for 1 I really like your perspective on things but 2 how wrong you are. Stating what did happen to me was wrong. I wasnt overgeared yes. I didnt invest in raising the lvl of other classes for CC yes. But seeing as I wasnt toxic, said hello and stated i was new with knowledge of the mechanics AND meeting the ilevel requirements means i possessed the abilities to clear that instance. No other way around it you cant tell me im wrong. THAT is my issue. Not your parenting advice.

Again, all you mention is your own opinion, your own standards, your own perception of what is okay.

By your standards, you might've been able to clear that dungeon.

By the standards of 3 other people, you weren't helping enough.

But in this entire topic, you haven't given two craps about helping the group more so I don't expect you to start thinking about that now.

Except nobody is defending that mentor kicking OP without actually mentoring first. What people are saying is OP cannot be surprised they were kicked if they don't have the near mandatory cross classes and adequate gear regardless of whether the person who initiated the vote kick was a mentor.

Read before you post >_>

B4B is not mandatory especially in 60 dungeons. Also she would not have been able to que if she didn't meet the requirements. I don't have B4B yet on my alt are you saying I should expect to be kicked? Because I can assure you that my MCH without B4B is doing more than satisfactory damage. I am still learning the class but my friends say that I am in the top 5 on any dun scaith run. Don't assume they are doing bad damage because of missing gear of classes. I have know many people who try hard and do much better than their overgeared counterparts.

People are so easy to jump on the mentor hate bandwagon.

Get Blood for blood, it gets paired with hawk eye for barrage empyreal arrow, Invigorate is a must. These two skills are mandatory as a dps.

Yes, how dare we expect from a mentor to teach, give tips and maybe have the patience to help a newbie through a dungeon which may (horror of all horrors!) take 5 minutes longer!
And how dare we expect of them to say to OP: "Before next dungeon, make sure to level lancer to 35, it gives you two vital skills for dps" instead of immediately kicking.

My bad for being such a hater of the poor, abused mentors I guess

No you seem to misunderstand. It is the OP who keeps claiming their damage was bad because their gear is low. Not because perhaps they were playing their class wrong.

[Venoshock]

So just because OP doesn't have the latest ilevel, they should be EXPECTED to be kicked? How is OP supposed to gear up if they get kicked for not fulfilling your high ilevel requirements?

Also, you say "no one is defending them" but in the same breath you say "Op cannot be surprised to be kicked" ?! That is contradicting yourself. Saying kicking for low ilevel is justified means you ARE defending them.

Fact is: OP met the minimum ilevel requirements for the duty. That means they can complete the duty. Maybe not with as high dps as some people expect, but kick for "low ilevel" was NOT justified.

Only reason would be if they inflated their ilevel with wrong equipment (for example intelligence gear on Bard).

Nice straw man bro, I was responding to the fact that you brought up that mentors shouldn't kick and actually give advise in which I said nobody is defending the mentor for not doing his job. When I said 'OP cannot be surprised to get kicked' was because they didn't have adequate gear and didn't have the cross classes that if they even cared about their role, they should have done the research and got them by level 60.

[MeridaQ]

Difference in game style is a valid reason to kick so they were justified in kicking them if the party agreed that the OP wasn't playing correctly.

Yes that is there catch all, but at the same time it is valid for the person report the group for harassment.

I might have used a strong word to describe the need for the ability, sure it isn't mandatory in the same way tanks need provoke, and you can do good dps without it, but at the same time you're willfully gimping yourself.

Yeah but SE probably added that catch because they decided not to deal with these cases harassment would only apply if they were being abusive before they kicked them

[Driavna]

Um No.

I canget into Alexander 9 savage wearing a mix mash of ilevel180 gear and i270 gear. The minimum ilevel was intended to be for people with gear which is roughly of the same ilevel for example if minimum ilevel was 240, it was made for people with mostly i240 gear. The only thing getting you passed the minimum ilevel is your 250 gear. All that ilevel 150 gear doesn't get synched up, so your dps will be hugely hindered because of that discrepancy.


You're a new player, I'm not, I know more than you on these matters. Don't argue with me.

Average ILvL is average, yeah some slots had more weight than others and people should focus on those first.

I did the Quest for becoming a Mentor, so I guess I am one of them. Yet, I do not wear the crown, so except for Mentor-Roulette, noone can see I am one.

But guess what, just because I am Mentor, doesn't mean I know everything! I don't know every needed CC Skill for every class. Am I bad mentor now? I do like to help others and I explain things, even without the crown showing. Am I good mentor now?

In the end it's just a quest and those are just players like everyone else. Human beings who can have bad moods. So instead of blaming a mentor for not telling you how to get the best out of your class, maybe it is also your job to find out things by using goolge? ._.
I do agree to you. There are d***bags out there and they misbehaved by just kicking, but you should not expect others to know your job.
And please stop this exaggerating, it's not leading anywhere but into people being offended. Try to stay calm and respectful and bring up logical statements and reasons, instead of meaningless blaming. ^^

Only reason would be if they inflated their ilevel with wrong equipment (for example intelligence gear on Bard).

BTW OP is wearing tank accessories.
