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.
    the ps3/ps4 brower sucks, i don't recommend using it. ever. Stuff doesn't load well, or not at all. Should try this yourself. Also no it doesn't use google but internet explorer. (ps3)

    being active =/= having a good attitude. My g/f been met with many people who will simply say "google it or your lazy" if ranges from basic tank questions like "what buffs to use at pull" to asking how often should she use unleash. Basic stuff. I help her out the best i can, but I'm no main tank.

    And most fc's she been in just treat her like garbage to the point where she started one for me and her.

    having a good attitude is what make mentors good mentors, and you showcase a poor one. You do gaslight tatics as a defense too which is kinda shameful.

    Kicking fresh players, or thinking level 60 people know what to do right at 60 is stupid 1-50 and 50-60 play completely different, more so when you got arrogant raid damage players, fouling up leveling dungeon runs. Saw my gf tank a dungeon. And a sch kept running ahead to pulling mobs in copperbell mines, this is when we just got back after 8 mnth break. She was rusty and told the group at start. The sch picked a fight with her over it stating "who cares it just copperbell".

    the person had mentor crown to boot too. Was pretty sad thing to see, dude wouldn't let her do her role, and mocking her. All she said was "mind letting me pull?"


    She had this happen over the course of all her tank leveling over multiple characters. All she wants is to be a good tank, yet seems to run into people who just mock and judge her, or treat her like crap. She try her hardest not to let anxiety she has from ASD get the better of her.

    Her first day back, she even got kicked from snowcloak for not large pulling, she told the group she just got back and wasn't comfortable in doing large pulls. The people she was with tried to brute force it, and she did her best to tank. but ended up a wipe. They booted her.

    Again this is stuff she had to deal with over 4 characters, how can a player learn in that type of environment?

    No guide preps you for that. No skill text preps you for that. Hall of novice barely preps you with that.

    People need to learn how to work as a team.

    the "you pull you tank" goes against this.
    the brute force large pulls goes against this.
    mocking people doesn't help
    nor is kicking people for not playing your way.

    all that does is prove how much this community act like spoiled brats. I'm happy not everyone is like this, but still it shouldn't happen.
