Mentors - What is expected really?

[Thamorian]

There are two things that the Mentor system brings to the table: the Mentor roulette, and the Novice Network. There's literally nothing else in the game that's affected by it other than a cosmetic change to your search info if you so wish. Between too many NNs being cesspits of toxin and decay, and they being a very limited chat channel to begin with whereas Mentors and Sprouts/Returners can't even get in, that leaves us with the Mentor roulette. In the patch the Mentor roulette was released, they said in the patch notes the roulette itself was specifically to help queues for those pesky duties that don't pop.
Everyone can be helpful with or without the crown. Everyone can be a piece of trash with or without the crown.

I know Balmung has a bad reputation but if your NN is a cesspit, why don't you do something about it instead of whining about it and saying we should just trash it? It's a cesspit because your server chooses to let it be. Novice Network allows for around 100 mentors and 412 novices/reutrners. On larger servers yeah Mentor slots can fill up but I can't remember the last time novice/returner slots filled up. If it did, that would be an issue on only large servers.

"So long as a mentor has a good attitude"? Has nothing to do with them being a mentor. We're bodies to get the queues going.

Ok I guess we are just going to ignore SE's own popup thing. Again, I am going off what SE designed the mentor system to be, not what people want to twist into what they think it should be.

Uh, #NotAllMentors much? A lot of them do. I know a few people who cheated the DF system, powered through the achiev in two weeks, and only use the mount to shove it in people's faces.

#notallmentors? Really? Ok yeah there are some but everyone always wants to trash the mentor system because of some bad actors. If 2,000 people use the crown with mentor system and 100 people are misusing the system, yeah that could be considered a lot but thats nowhere near a majority, half, or even a quarter. I don't have the numbers but neither do you. Don't act like you know it's a majority of people thjat misuse the system. People want to trash the whole mentor system and crap all over anyone who uses the crown in the mentor system in good faith because of some.

Also, 2 weeks? It takes 2,000 mentor roulettes to get the mount. That's 142-143 roulettes a day if obtained in 2 weeks. They much of gotten really lucky with nothing but guildhests. Remember, 3 withdrawals and you get a 30 minute lockout and you won't know what dungeon you get before accepting.

But if you have a problem with people showing off a mount, then you better also have an issue with people showing off the Hunt Centurio mount and current savage raid mount. People also better put away those PvP mounts, can't have anyone showing off their achievements off lest you get annoyed they are showing it off! Everyone must use the basic desert yellow chocobo. Get over yourself.
