The general player base needs to improve

Just wanna put this out there before I head to bed...

We need more FCs and groups focused around teaching with decent, patient people doing the teaching. Actual mentors and not just random people who managed to fulfill the coded requirement to get a special badge.

When I returned, I specifically searched for such an FC. With my anxiety issues, I knew I needed good friends and talented mentors who would be willing to help me learn to tank again because if one more person in a PUG told me to "git gud" or kicked me for some stupid reason, I'd probably just cancel my sub again. (Only happened once but I was so sensitive back then lol)

So then who is responsible for forming and leading these FCs, or spending the time to hold teaching groups?

It's really easy to say "someone should be doing those things as long as that someone isn't me because I'm just here to play.". We're all just here to play.

Not everyone is cut out to be a leader or a teacher. Not everyone is willing to give up part of the time they have available to play to help others.

I do agree with the point about the current mentor system. I blocked invites to the Novice Network because the channel was filled with "mentors" bragging about how awesome they were while ignoring requests for information from the new players they were presumably there to help.
