Lets speak about Mentor's.

[Miste]

My rule of thumb, unsolicited advice is unwelcome advice.

That doesn't give them an excuse to be abusive. If they simply don't want the advice there is an easy response: "Thanks, but I'd like to learn on my own" you know, instead of throwing insults over it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Every mentor thread is always the same thing.

"Mentors are rude if they give unsolicited advice."
"Mentors are bad if they don't give advice."
"I expect mentors to know everything and perform perfectly otherwise they are bad and shouldn't have the crown."
"All mentors are just wearing the crown to feel superior."
"A mentor kicked me so now I have a vendetta against all mentors"
"A mentor tried to help me, they obviously must be elitist"

Oh and best new one of this thread: "A mentor blocked my NPC with their mount and one other mentor died to mechanics so now I hate them all to such a degree that I think they have mental problems"

10/10 on that one. I almost choked on my tea

Agreed, but it just means I don't give advice unless they ask.

"A mentor kicked me so now I have a vendetta against all mentors"

Quick fun story for this. When SB launched and I finished the 4.0 story on my main, I hopped on my alt who only just did Final Steps, back when it was current, and then left alone. Because of the time, I got the returner status. I went on my merry way, getting to Xelhatol I think it's spelled? I go in, I'm a tank, so quick pop, and both dps are mentors, also on my server (Balmung OP.)

We're going through, but the pull before the first boss, the healer goes offline. Okay, no biggie, he'll come back soon right? Five minutes pass and they still aren't back. I ask the mentors if it's okay to throw a kick, because it'd be better to get a new healer and finish the dungeon. They said we're waiting, so I assumed they must have queue'd together. Another few minutes pass, healer still not back. I ask if they did go with the healer, and explain I'd like to just get through the dungeon so I can explore more up to date DRK content. Told to "Learn your place" and kicked from the party.

So if people get those mentors enough, I can maybe see why the bias might start coming. That made me end up not doing the content for a few weeks until I just grabbed friends to murder it.

And I find it funny when people quote out of context. Why? Because it shows that you are hypocrites and you don't even notice.

Today I've seen a Mentor hovering right in Front of the Quest Giver from the Beast Tribe at the Ruby See so you couldn't see the Quest Mark. He stayed there for at least 3 Minutes (till I left the Area). Good Behavior for a Mentor, no?
Yesterday I was doing Potd with a Mentor Dark Night. He died twice from the Tornado at the 70-80 stage Boss, he just wouldn't move out of the Aoe even when he was told to do so.
There are more stories similar to those.
I've come to the Point were I'm thinking that Mentors are the most inconsiderate, most arrogant and most incapable Players in that Game. I have no respect for them.

Those were my words.
Now. A mentor is supposed to be a good example and has to help other player to make it easier for them in some way. Blocking a NPC just to show of his new Mount is not my understading for beeing "helpful".

And the DRK? Oh, right, he is a Mentor. Why would he listen to other? He is a Mentor and knows everything better. How dare you to give some advice to a Mentor!, right?

Really, nobody should take you seriously.

One more thing. I want to apology to LadyKairi. I went to far with my reply to her post. Sometimes I forget that there are Human Beings behind the written words.
I'm sorry. I may have hurt her and I really regret it.
I'm sure she is one of the helpful Mentors out there.
Sorry LadyKairi

Those were my words. .

I didn't even directly quote you if you notice because I simply took the entire thread into consideration.

Those were your words...yeah, but what is your point? You also said:

In my opinion Mentors do have Mental problems in their Private Lives and the are trying to compensate their failure with that little shiny pixel crown.

I am sorry if you have an issue with what I posted, but it is simply my view of this train wreck.

Really, nobody should take you seriously.

Don't worry, I don't take you seriously either

Right. But you almost choked about the things I was right. And you had to point that out. Hypocrite

[Skivvy]

Right. But you almost choked about the things I was right. And you had to point that out. Hypocrite

I wouldn't say you were right. If you are taking offense at someone being mounted on/near an NPC, I can only wonder how you cope with actual grievances. Best of luck to you in your adventures.

[Miste]

Right. But you almost choked about the things I was right. And you had to point that out. Hypocrite

Me almost choking on my drink because I found what you posted funny is being a hypocrite? I don't think your definition is quite correct....

Like I said my post was my view on things said in this thread, you obviously don't like my opinion on it, which is whatever, I honestly don't care, but my opinion about what you posted being funny doesn't make me a hypocrite, sorry xD
