SE, Please consider removing EX trials from the Mentor Roulette.

I understand this perfectly, thanks. Please don't put words in my mouth

Well you certainly don't understand how quotes work, the arrow was pointing at Lokier's post ridiculing people for not knowing those fights, I was not referring to you when I said that.

If you need extra visual help

Just to let you know, the avatars aren't shown with quotes on the mobile version of the forum, so it was likely a genuine misread.

From my understanding, JP players use PF and DF in an almost reverse way from other regions. PF exclusively for newbie clears (for most anything) and DF for grinding content.

People actually use mobile site? I use full site even on phone.

I am right now. It's a little less data hungry.

Hey man if you don't want to at least attempt to help the group clear these ex trials then you don't deserve the titles and the mount. It's as simple as that.

Y'know, I'm gonna admit, I'm apparently a bit of a derp. It didn't even occur to me that people actually queued for the older EX's in the Duty Finder. Not that I've been able to queue for Mentor Roulette ever since HW ended, but I always ended up in the MSQ 4 man dungeons or trials just to help fill groups for sprouts the few times I did do it. I just thought that was essentially what the Mentor Roulette DID, help the new players get through the old mandatory content so they could catch up to the current content. I know that is it's function, but I never even thought sprouts bothered with things like the Coils or Titan Extreme while they were just trying to reach the cap. It should have occurred to me since it required doing EX trials and such to open the roulette, but it just didn't. Guess maybe I shouldn't queue for Mentor Roulette when I unlock it again, I'm thoroughly unprepared to teach potentially 7 other people how to run synced Extremes, hah.

I’m not yet a mentor, but I’d like to be - and I could so easily get there without ever touching an extreme primal fight. I’ve tried them a few times, realised I’m out of my depth, and avoided them since. I couldn’t coach others through it - plus, being on a Japanese server, there’s every chance I can’t even communicate with my roulette team mates. BUT I’d love to be a mentor that can help new players with the earlier parts of the game, without being expected to know my way around high-level content - not until I’ve had more time to learn it myself.

Perhaps there needs to be a setting where mentors can nominate what sort of duties they are comfortable mentoring in?

Coming through the MSQ now, the EX fight unlock quests are given to you as soon as you beat the hard modes. I didn’t realise just how tough they were until I started doing them.

I can see there is story attached to them, and to the Binding Coil, so I don’t like having to move onward with the game without having completed them and seen what happens. I also had hoped to do them “properly” and not just get my Lv70 friends to squash them - but I may have to.

There was nothing ridiculing about his post, and your little ^ arrow could have been pointing to either of us.

Maybe you should arrange your post a little better if you don't want people to get confused about what/who you mean.

It's less of a "story" reason and more of a "throwaway excuse for why there's a third version of the same fight", really.

"Why are we doing X rehash of this thing we already did before?"
"Ascians/Allagans/Moogles, that's why"

Coil though, yeah, that one actually makes sense.
