Mentors...please!

[RajNish]

Oh my goodness, aren't you just the cleverest little thing! Your mom must be so proud of you! Thank you ever so much for pointing out the obvious flaw in my post, I feel so silly for posting that whole thing now, lol. I mean, it's not like a bad Mentor would ever use sarcasm or backhanded complements to be toxic to sprouts. The only jerks we have to worry about are the obvious ones. You deserve a gold star for figuring that out all by yourself!

Is healthy humor a crime? If so, I didn’t mean to hurt you. Thanks for your attention. Have a nice day!

It sounds more like the god of FF14 and not a human beeing.

I think you are exaggerating a little. It’s enough just not to be rude and help whenever possible.

I go into a duty and get The dancing Plague Extrem and People expect from me and the other Mentor in the Party to explain the Fight on the fly while the new Tank/whm/etc just pulls the boss. Also we have to explain job specific stuff for this encounter and we should be patient even when the encounter takes ages and atleast 4 people are not doing what is necessary for this kind of duty? The Mentors have to compensate and should not dare say anything because it could hurt the feelings of somebody. To tell people "sorry, your are not good enough with your actual performance to beat this encounter" is consindered offensive, abusive and bannable behavior.

When you opened mentor roulette, did you know where you could go? However, this is not the problem. The problem is the lack of communication.

I have never been in a group that makes The dancing Plague Extrem via Dutyfinder. However, in the usual trial roulettes, several times, where the group had one or two mentors, I saw the comments "Oh my God!" and "Don't waste time!" after the first wipe. Thanks to those who at least left in silence. All these people didn’t even put marks, but they expected that the group, where 4-6 beginners, would do everything right without any help or hint.

My first Titania was late at night. My co-healer was a mentor. This player has done everything possible to successfully complete. He/she put marks, showed people where to stand. I am very grateful to this kind person for a great game. Now, after several Titania runs, I understand that this player was an exception.
