Skipping cutscenes in MSQ Roulette

[van_arn]

I'm not lecturing you, I'm telling you the facts. Mentorship is not for that, period, and the rewards are there as that, as a reward for doing that job so that you get something out of it other than just helping someone, as a "thank you". You can use it as you please, but then you have absolutely no right to complain when you are not using it as intended. You can like it or not, but that doesn't change that you are a bad mentor. Good mentors even take their crowns off when they aren't in the mood of helping, but there's a reason as of why the mentor roulette forces you to turn it on.

As for what mentorship is for, yes, we exist to help when we can, however we can. But if you do something like going into the mentor roulette you're agreeing to get into absolutely any duty. As I said, it even forced you to turn your mentor status on, so it's clear that you have to go with a helpful and patient attitude in there. Also, other than help, remember that mentors are supposed to be an example of good etiquette (if you don't remember that part, I kindly ask you to talk with the Smith again). The behavior shown up there is not good etiquette, at all.

Also, joining and then leaving the duty if you don't like what you got means that you potentially took the spot of someone else that then had to wait more to get in there. I know that this way of thinking is not popular in the west nowadays, but your time is not worth more than that of someone else.

And, for everyone else, I repeat it: You are NOT forced to do the MSQ roulettes. There's no exclusive rewards, and there's more optimal ways to get these tomes and exp. Just don't run them, and if you are truly needed there as you seem to think, SE will do something. It's as easy as that.

Your opinion of who is good or bad as a mentor ultimately doesn't mean anything. You're welcome to do what you feels right for you, but you're under no obligation to run anything you don't want NOR can Square force you to run anything you don't feel like running. Nor do you have the authority to tell other mentors how to mentor.

If this results in collapsed parties due to EX popping in mentor roulette, or players being unable to progress, that's Square's fault for including content in the roulettes that encourages parties to collapse. It is not the players' or the mentors' problem Square leaves their content to die.
