    theres a lot of good players, experienced ones won can do everything mentor do, and not have that crown vanity.
    Here's the reality: Mentors aren't a substitute for you doing your own work too. We can give a brief summary of what to expect but we aren't going to take 10m+ to do so when 2-6 other people in the party are waiting to start. If you want a deep look at what to expect, there are tons of guides on YouTube. I highly encourage you to watch them first and then when you enter the dungeon/trial/raid/whatever, ask for clarification on parts you're confused about. Just like in real life, we can tell you how things go but you have to do your own homework and studying as well to truly master the topic. I will always answer questions if they are asked, but I also know the reality and that I can't just stop the fight to teach a class on it first.

    Watch a video first, go in and ask questions after. From my experience people usually respond better to specific questions rather than "Hey I'm new here, tell me all the mechanics."

    I also like to add that there are also players who do not fancy being taught for various reasons. Reasonable ones such as avoiding spoilers are understandable, but it can also be trivial such as simply not liking being told what to do, A.K.A. freestyler. More than often the latter can lead to a petty responses. It's just not worthy of the risk.
    Personally, I won't offer any explanation unless the player in question is clearly struggling or directly asking the question in the chat.... which is something that any player with the knowledge in question can do. Not just mentors.
