Tips on being a mentor but not sounding bossy

[Mavrias]

So you were in a level 50 MAIN STORY dungeon, and felt the need to pick apart gear? Level 50! In a game where the downscaling is so horrible that 4 level 70s can finish a dungeon that 8 level 50s can!
MAIN STORY where most of the game gives you no rewards useful in the jewellery department, mainly armour and weapons.
MAIN STORY dungeon and you're checking gear.

If you're that concerned about how a new player gears up, give them money and tell them where to buy stuff. If you're actually skilled, actually experienced and been around as long as I have? You'll damn well remember how poor our options are at that level and realise you CANNOT LOSE this game.

NPC vendors are a thing.
