Mentors and Novice Network

[MPK]

Do people actually use that crap? I'm so glad I've never touched that crap when I joined. It sounds like a network of grey parsers who provide bad advise for new players.

Imagine believing that parsers are synonymous with playing good lol

That's not very convincing coming from you

Tell that to all those people with 90+ parsers who made me wipe for a week enterss E8S because it was very difficult for them not to screw it up in the LR or those who did not know that you have 4 seconds of invulnerability when you revive. (I still have PTSD from the Summoner from 2 weeks ago with 85 parsers dying 4 times in a row on Ramuh)

Or also a friend who runs a discord channel with The Balance guides in Spanish who had to kick a Scholar with 99+ parsers from her static because he was useless to cure :^)

Sounds pretty anecdotal :^)

Also not very convincing especially coming from you

It's not that I care bro

The Mentor system requires some fixing, but whenever I see complaints from it I think people have no idea how to fix it. What requirements do you make to be a mentor? Triple Legend? parsers 99? to people who have more knowledge of the game with exams? Top 100 The Feast?

None of these requirements certify that you are a better or a worse player or that you know more or less about the game, the current system can be fixed a little but there will always be mentors who have no idea about the game, no matter the system.

Tbh I'm surprised that getting a good feast rank in pvp is not a requirement for pvp mentor not going to lie

First I'd change pretentious icon from a crown to something less obnoxious maybe that'll drive out some of the shitty mentors. But lets start with that

Game exam wouldn't be a bad idea, ultimate clears are overkill.

Those achievements definitely mean something. If you are a triple legend, you've cleared the toughest content in the game. Of course there are some low skilled players who have cleared ultimates but just being able to do the toughest mechanics this game has to offer correctly for 17 minutes is beyond what many players can do, let's be honest. As far as 99 parsers, we need some context. Did they farm it? Do they die to mechanics a lot? Are they consistently 99? There are some missing information but being able to parse a 99 means at least you know how to play your class correctly, for the most part. Strategy and party comp matters, but if you are always grey then you need to look at your rotations or cd maangement or something, cuz that is not normal. I'm certainly going to take advise more to heart from a triple legend than some grey savage parser.

OMG I witnessed in NN a returner complaining about positionals, when a mentor proceed to tell them that positionals aren't even necessary. They went into how you do what you want to have fun, don't don't even worry about positionals, because the damage is basically negligible. I mentioned how that would not work out too well for them in an EX or any end game content, and got called an elitist for it lol. Its common sense I would think. You know, to try to do as much damage as you can, so the rest of your party isn't carrying you, if you manage to clear. I worry for the future of this game with this kind of mentality being pushed.
