Bad idea for this game.

95% of the time I try to help other players as a mentor, nicely and politely, doesn't matter, I get harassed or yelled at with every thing you can think of from "elitist" to tons of nasty swear words that I don't care to repeat.

It's very rare for anyone to actually accept and be happy for the help. I can count how many times on one hand the times people have responded happy for the help.

So guess what 95% of the players are going to do? Troll the mentor by giving them bad reviews and getting their mentor status and rewards revoked.

Example:
Mentor: DRK, can you please use unleash a few more times, the BLM is taking hate when AoEing.

DRK may or may not answer but basically 95% of players on this game? He's thinking "pfft mentor trying to tell me how to play? you don't pay my sub I play how I want elitist"

End of dungeon? They are going to vote you down and out of being a mentor because they are peeved off you even offered help for them to play their job better.

Btw the DRK thing actually happened recently. I wasn't mentoring at the time but I asked them nicely to use a few more unleash because I was ripping hate when I AoE Fire II and Flare ect in a level 60 dungeon and they told me "shutup child". We ended up vote kicking him a bit after that.

95% of players get defensive as all heck if you say anything about how they play. Even if it was just asking for help since I was almost dying pulling hate because the DRK was only using Unleash once per pull and obviously wasn't cycling targets properly. I felt bad for the healer because she kept having to save me whenever quelling was on cooldown.


As for OP. I would have just kicked them as well. I mean the mentor crown yeah it sucks they were wearing it, but they would have been jerks even if mentor didn't exist. So I just vote kick rude people like that and move on because even if Mentor didn't exist you are still going to run into players like that.
