Genuine question for those upset with the new Mentor requirements

[EaMett]

Honestly, mentorship complaints in the game are a complete meme at this point. 99% of mentors are perfectly fine, they go about their business every day, usually stay silent because people hate to get unsolicited advice. If you ask them they'll help.

The NN are a general chat but as soon as someone has a question it gets an answer. There's occasional drama and somebody gets kicked.. what you'd expect from any game really. And that's that.

Every hundred mentors you get some ass that thinks the crown is cool and couldn't give two Fs, is a dick to everyone (newbies still learning especially). I honestly play this game more than the average player and the last time I saw a mentor fly off the handle was back when we still had cross class abilities so it makes me chuckle every time someone says the "majority" of mentors are shit.

The commendation bump is a little dumb IMO, I think the crown should be switched to something else instead (maybe just an M or a book), I also think the novice network should be opt in and not opt out.

Completely agree. People don't remember the 100's of average or good mentors they come across but they'll remember that ONE mentor who was a donkey's rear and all of a sudden all mentors are a donkey's rear in their mind.

I dunno if its relevant to the thread, but I never even wear my mentor crown or participate in the novice network after I noticed it was essentially a chat channel for 'Mentors' to cause drama in, kick people out for superfluous reasons, and not actually help anyone. I got it originally for the sake of helping people, but like the thread starter said, you can still do that without it.

I see your profile says you are on Gilgamesh. Out NN is actually pretty good. Yeha it's used as a general chat but novice questions never go unanswered. We do got a couple people that will cause problems sometimes but thats every server. Don't let a couple ruin what is otherwise a working system. Again goes back to that people never remember the 100's of mentors but they will remember the few bad eggs.
