Being a bad mentor(we should be able to report ppl for being a bad mentor)

[MoroMurasaki]

I just don't care anymore, which is something you can't seem to understand.

And yes, you do sound like you're pretty self-righteous as much as you think I'm childish. But, like I mentioned quite a few times in this thread, I don't care. I'm done with the community altogether. If you wanna keep going, go ahead, I'll stop here as we're not gonna solve anything.

It's not that I'm hostile to everyone, it's just that I'm blunt, ergo hostile, period. The difference resides in that me being like that doesn't depend on the other part. It's not a rant really, it's me not giving any flying eff.

If you're so over the community and beyond caring about it... why are you here?

To be honest I would be on your side with a lot of this if you didn't go at the OP and then other people so hard.

I think people are too hard on mentors. I hate the "a mentor kicked my dog" meme, I think it's overplayed into stupidity. I think there are people out there who think they're entitled to the time and effort of another player beyond what is reasonable. SE isn't paying me to wear that crown, I'm not spending a full lockout in Shinryu EX when more than half the party can't consistantly make it past the first Tidal Wave. I also don't think bad mentors are as common as everyone complains they are. You don't notice the good or passable players, the bad ones stand out.

I think the playerbase expects far too much from mentors but on the other hand I think SE expects far too little, the large gap between these two places creates all this drama and it's stupid. SE should be clarifying this but they aren't because they like money and never want to do anything that will offend or alienate any part of the playerbase.

So yeah - don't act like people are getting on your case because your opinions are so controversial. I am not asking for you to sugarcoat anything, just asking for you to show a basic level of respect for your fellow players which you clearly haven't been doing. You aren't edgey, you aren't cool for not caring about all this - you're logged on to the OF like the rest of us when you could be somewhere else. You care. That's fine! So does everyone else here to some extent... just don't be a total (insert expelative of your choice here) about it and you're fine.

Edit: I really wish the game itself would communicate more clearly that Ex-primals arent really DF-content. Just a short pop-up when queuing saying "Hey, please be aware that this is more difficult content than a dungeon. You'll have to work as team and figure out more complicated mechanics. Make sure your gear is up-to-date and you're ready to face a real challenge!"

Amen to every last bit of this as well as the post it was attached to.
