    level 60 is not hard to get and doesn't make you an expert. More often then not people just go "google it" providing no links. But newsflash though. Not everyone has a pc and/or smartphone. My g/f played this since 2.0 on the ps3 only recently moved to ps4 because i bought her 1. Her household didn't have a pc and she couldn't get 1.

    She was insulted at every turn, even for asking for help/tips to play better. She mains tank and had a ton of abuse from other players. She always admits mistakes, and tries not to repeat them.

    Everytime she asked the fc she was in, they couldn't be bothered to help just said "google it" and hate to say it, googling this on ff14 is a pain in the ass. So much to sift through, and most if not all is out of date. Not all guides are done well either. Some can leave people confused, while others are long winded.
    Playstation also has access to google. What is stopping you spending 10 mins to look up things online after you log off? What is stopping a player reading their action descriptions help text? Also I never said just google it, I said ask friends etc before entering a dungeon. New mechanics fair enough new players should ask for tips but failing on the same things over and over again is what I am on about.

    Also I never say just google it, I have many guides bookmarked for many various things I would post one and say exactly where you find the information. If the question was quick I would answer it, although if they was after a detailed answer then I would point them in the direction of a guide and explained why they need it.

    Majority of alex story raids I have macros for the full fights explaining the tactics as well as well as for Void,Weeping and Dun Scaith. Other fights like coil I have them saved in word to copy and paste to a macro as needed. Same with Ex fights and savage.


    By the looks of it you have just picked the odd few words from my post and tried to pick an argument.

    As for regards to people like me shouldn't be mentors. I am often one of the most vocal players in our novice network, I will give players advice on rotations, help with dungeons and explain any mechanics they are not sure about if I spot a problem. I will also ask them prior to going in an instance if they want me to explain or go in blind.

    Not everyone wants every mechanic explained to them but are able to adapt fast as the fight goes on. Also in my FC we regularly use Discord and I have talked multiple players through Ex trials new and old,raids and dungeons. We never use videos and go into all content blind as a free company. We talk over what went wrong between us and work out a fix.

    So yes if that makes me a s@#t mentor then so be it.
