    Hyomin explained it quite well, and I agree with her about that issue...

    Basically I do not blame any mentor for not offering advice...there are too many sensitive people playing this game who get angry immediately if you give unsolicited advice about mechanics or their roles/jobs, and I don't blame mentors for actively avoiding verbal abuse as much as possible by simply not bothering to type anything.

    I have a long list of abuse received from just offering very polite suggestions as a mentor...eventually you just give up since no one wants people screaming insults at them.

You are being called out for not knowing the BASICS of your job, for not wearing the bare minimum gear acceptable, or simply for your attitude, and are utterly offended by it no matter how nice the Mentor, or whoever called you out are talking to you. Like I said in a couple other threads a while ago, I stopped being a Mentor so I could throw in a couple of insults to make you guys feel bad for some things you should feel very bad about: wasting my and my partners' time in the form of being severely and purposedly undergeared or, again, not knowing the very basics of your job. For example, I don't find it acceptable to get a DRG only spamming their Full Thrust combo. You guys want everything extremely sugarcoated, and even when that happens, you ignore what's being said to you. You just want to be carried, which raises the question; why are you playing in the first place?
    However despite my personal views on issues....

    Why are you berating the OP like this?

    They never said they are undergeared, want to be carried, or don't want to learn...in fact they said they looked up a guide for the extreme. Newbies rarely do that and it is a good thing that OP looked it up in order to prepare.

    If anything it shows they don't want to be carried, but they still might need some extra help ingame since newbies are newbies. Yes, you can't force a mentor to explain things so OP is incorrect about their idea that mentors can be punished for simply not typing anything, but I don't see anything wrong with the OP as a player so I don't get this rant at them.

    I know you said not you personally, but you seem to be singling them out with all of this rant as well by adding them "collectively" to people who complain about mentors.

    This seems like a lot of misplaced anger. OP didn't hurt you.
