    Extreme trials/MSQ duties should be more rewarding for mentors

    right now there is no incentive for a mentor to want to clear an ex trial on mentor roulette

    this could be easily fixed by giving mentors 10 points towards the achievement instead of 1 which will give them a reason to actually stay in the trial and mentor people

    I shouldn't get 1 point doing a 45 minute praetorium when I could get the same amount doing any dungeon

    Maybe being a mentor just isn't for you?

    Helping and teaching just like how it was originally designed?
    If you don't have the time or don't want to do it, just leave instances or don't do mentoring again.

    Oh I forgot teachers taught for free, my bad.

    but jokes aside I think we should get a rating system for mentors instead of the current system we have now
    I've mentored plenty of sprouts outside of the roulette but nothing of that ever gets added to my achievement count despite the experience being better than doing it in a roulette where people don't want to trust you or even consent to being mentored

    The roulette doesn't even filter by language ever since they disabled language filters so I've had sprouts that couldn't speak a word of english

    More often than not trying to teach players results in being ignored, threatened, or the usual "you don't pay my sub" kind of response. Let's not pretend the concept of mentor hasn't been working well for years now.

    I mean, not wanting an msq roulette dungeon is fair enough, i'd think. there's absolutely nothing to teach there, you're just filling out another space.

    I'm not saying it works as intended. It doesn't.
    But that's what it was intended for at first, and that's why a lot of people used to become a mentor for.

    Then it needs to be changed and that's what these forums are for, if people say this is fine the devs will just ignore the feedback

    they have done nothing to improve the mentor-sprout experience for years and that's why we mentors are called burger king crowns

    It seems it went from "go help others (and fill queues) " to "well, just fill queues".
