How would you feel if there were NO MORE MENTORS

[Zojha]

Removing mentors entirely from the game would take away the benefit of having a "kitchen sink roulette" to fill in gaps in under-played instances [...]

Uhm...these are separate. You can have the roulette without the mentors and you can have mentors without the roulette >_> In fact, I'm sure the latter is actually common, since many will likely not have stuff like the old manderville trials or other things unlocked.

To a degree, this also overlaps with the purpose of the other roulettes, which also serve to fill gaps. One could argue that those are actually more efficient at it even, since they aren't restricted to mentors and as we all know, mentality is independent from mentor status.

I don't know. It just seems pointless to me.

And having the roulette without the mentors, but with the same rewards, would not change anything either. People would still grind it simply for the rewards and still be rude to others/new players regardless of whether or not mentor status exists, so what would be the point of suggesting to remove mentors?

Like I also mentioned, mentor roulette increases a new player's chance of being grouped with, at least theoretically, a player who is likely to know the fights more so than if it was just another random roulette for anyone to take part in. Intentionally pairing newbies with experienced players can increase a new player's chances of clearing content that is traditionally difficult to clear in DF even with decent gear, like Ramuh Extreme, etc. It is a logical system.

I'm not opposed to having a kitchen sink roulette for everyone, but there's no need to suggest removing mentors or rewards from mentor roulette in order to promote that...
