Mentors...please!

B) People don't understand extreme content requires certain knowledge that is not communicated.

To be honest, I don't even know why they put EX contents in the mentor roulettes. Like you said, it requires knowledge and novices don't understand it (or should I say, don't WANT to understand it).

I often got ARR EX in mentor roulettes, nowaday, it's easy to clear them even with sync lvl. But lvl 60 EX and more ... Ugh. Just once. Only once I got Thordan EX and people in the party were patient and careful with mechanics. I explained after each wipe, and we finally cleared it.

Otherwise, and most of the time, there are only issues, and these are the ones you mentioned.

This right here. It's insane that the mentor roulette can spit you into Extremes. When you end up into an EX through duty finder you already know there's going to be trouble and probably more of it than it's worth. Being synced down is definitely an advantage but we are still talking about content that can take people more than a lock-out to properly learn. And now you are here with a bunch of dudes who probably don't know what they are getting into because if they did they'd be using PF to begin with, synced or not.

I should probably mention that I don't run mentor roulette before anyone starts judging me but if I did I'd be leaving extremes too. I guess they are the entryway into harder fights so in a way they do count as teaching sprouts but it's also the entryway to "gloves off" content where you really should get into the habit of doing your own research and pulling your own weight. It is endgame content, not exactly babys first steps. If you are looking for the easy clear then hey, do it unsync.
