Months of harassment

Maybe if the novice network and mentor system was an actual useful thing and not some kinda glorified chat room this kind of stuff wouldn’t happen. Instead you all just want your Burger King crowns as a badge of honour. Zero sympathy

I mean, I got my "Burger King Crown" out of a desire to communicate with and help newer players, as that's something I do within my FC as an Officer. To come in and declare that we are unworthy of sympathy purely because some mentors are poor is in extremely poor taste, especially coming from someone on another DC that doesn't have to see this day in and day out. You can make assumptions all you like with the knowledge of your own DC, but without coming to ours and seeing that the bulk of our mentors are well-meaning, all it is is an assumption. I'm positive every DC has crappy mentors, or mentors that have the crown but don't make use of the NN at all, but the ones who do in my server are primarily helpful and polite, if a bit joke-y and meme-y at times. And I think that's okay. I don't think the bulk of us have done anything that would deserve the denial of basic empathy for an exceedingly crappy situation.

If nothing else, think of the impact this has on new players. Someone picks up the free trial, wants to dip their toes in this game that a lot of us seek solace in, just to be greeted by a torrent of slurs and absolutely disgusting behaviour overall. If nothing else, *they* deserve better than that.

I can't speak for other server's, but NN on Adamantoise was great for helping players with useful advice, pointing out how to find stuff out, answering questions, etc (I say 'was' solely due to the fact it's been a long time since I've been on NN, but it's always been helpful when I've been on it - multiple times over the years, and for months at a time). So while there might be a whole bunch of ppl all around who don't care and just want the symbol & mount from it... don't label everyone like that.

Also, you might scoff at Mentor's.... but what about the new players who are basically having their experience ruined by this person? So it's ok for new players to have the game spoiled, to be abused & harrassed just to get at those bad, bad mentors?

Your attitude smells just like the person doing this garbage. Taking a look at what they are saying, what I remember them saying (when I was still in NN on various characters... they've actually been around a long, long time)... exact same rubbish thought as what your saying.

what does your weird cynical and overly zealous outlook on the mentor system and the novice network have to do with someone spamming racial slurs on alt accounts unmitigated? do you have some kind of special insight into this freak's psyche that we don't?

like are you actually going to pretend there was never ever a question asked there that was genuinely asked by a sprout, which was answered by a mentor? why the hell else would it exist, and why does it matter that much to you if mentors end up talking to each other there when there aren't questions to be answered? can you explain in what way, your feelings on the matter aren't just as or far more pretentious than desiring an icon? the crafter one isn't even necessarily hard to get; but they all get access.

and that's giving your thoughts on it like a modicum of credence, which it doesnt deserve in the first place considering the novice network here more or less always answers any question any sprout has asked in it, or eachother's questions, returners, usually politely, etc. other than this one obsessed tool, it's actually a relatively wholesome and helpful network here, so I have honestly no idea what in the world you're referring to

Well it's a good thing that we're not really seeking out the random sympathy of random nobodies with opinions they don't have the experience or the exposure to the problem at hand to effectively comment on but alas when you're trying to light a fire to get attention from on high you're liable to attract moths eager to fling themselves pointlessly into the flame.

I've always tried to be a useful mentor. If a sprout had information I didn't know, I would look it up for them. Glad that you have zero sympathy for people trying to help others, you seem like a cool and nice person.

Why comment if you are going to be part of the problem?
