State of the game

[LordDrakore]

Im telling you those wow refugees took our commendations!

Op stop being a drama queen, they were a little passive aggressive so was you. In other mmorpgs you would be called names at that point.

Thank you once again for proving my point about where this game is heading. The name calling is not warranted and uncalled for. The post was about the state of the game and the mentors actions that were very unbecoming. And thank you for also helping me further make my decision about weather to continue to play this game or not.

And in case you have forgotten, or just plain don't know, the rules, or expectations, of mentors in FFXIV:

Provide gameplay advice for new adventurers and other players.
Be an exemplar for player etiquette.
Invite new adventurers to the Novice Network and answer their queries in the chat channel.

Emphasis on rules 1 and 2.

Thanks

Clearly they violated and did not follow rules 1 and 2.

Did they broke any rules idk im not GM, ToS is so wiggly and written so badly that it all depends on how good day the GM has so you cant 100% say they did broke any rules. They tend to not give any punishments if both sides were being involved like in your case, you openly called them bad, so you got the ball thrown back at you, what else should i have to say here?

I dont know if you played other mmorpgs before, but having some distance to what people say is the trait you should get before entering any of these games, because as i told before other mmorpgs does not have such harsh ToS and random rules and people tend to be waaaay more aggressive than what you experienced in this game today.
The state of the game is fine, welcome to the massive multiplayer online genre, you have people from all around the world with different attitudes and cultures.

Well, if you must know, I am actually a former game developer and one of the cardinal sins in a game if you are a person who hold some point of authority is no matter how bad a player talks to you is to keep your composure and do not argue or abuse your power to get one over on the player. And let me tell you that in my forums and games I've developed I've been talked down too by players before but no matter how bad it got I never banned, muted, or talked back to a player in such a way. Actually I did the opposite and in some cases brought the player aside and talked to them privately and asked what was wrong and how I could fix their problem or do better.

And you know what? 99% of the time I resolved that player's issue and never had an issue with them again. Now, I say 99% because there is always that 1 or 2 people that no matter what you can do for them they'll never be happy.

Mentor burger king crown is being given to everyone without investigation of what person is like.
You have a mix of people in the novice chat that is being used as a global chat, because devs refuse to create one for everyone. You should realize what it boils down to, its basically a global "elite" chat used mainly for spam and fun.
You will have exactly same if not worse experience if you into neverwinter zone chat in protector enclave... actually its going to be 10 times worse.

Then this is an unequivocal flaw in the game and could be a turn off for some people.
