Mentor abuse DC on purpose

[Caurcas]

More along the lines they are lazy and expect to get into easy low level content for their mentor roulette and can't do their own job as a mentor.

Eh, you want to do EXs with randos then go to PF. Can't blame a person dipping from an unwinnable situation.

Then they should just suck it up and accept the 30 minute penalty for leaving vs. being a baby about it and trying to force the group to vote dismiss them.

Here is my take on this.

Yes, people like the one OP talks about are bad players but there is really no way to fix this other than remove trial EX fights from the Mentor roulette.

I enjoy trying to help people when I do some mentor roulettes however I start to lose that feeling when people just flat out won't listen. I can't even tell you how many EX fights I've been in where the new sprout tank just instantly pulls the boss while I or someone else is trying to explain things. That's just one of several examples.

I got The Striking Tree (Extreme) once as a tank. My tank partner just wouldn't listen. They just went in tanking and wouldn't pick up orbs and tank swap. Just instantly die every single time. I tried explaining what they need to do but they acted as if chat was just turned off.

I start losing hope and don't want to help people. This happens more often than not.

On another note, I'm getting frustrated with how people see mentors. I don't even turn my little gold crown on anymore because it's a laughing stock. Just the other day I got "The World of Darkness" as my mentor. I jokingly said "wow, I got this for mentor roulette? Ok who needs help?" and instantly someone was replied "weird flex".

Sure can. Don't queue for Mentor Roulette. You signed up for it.
I mean it's not like Sephiroth Ex is a hard fight to begin with.

Situations only become Unwinnable when people stop trying. You sound like you stop trying before the duty even starts if the game doesn't give you the one you want. Which means it's unwinnable because of you. It also means you're damaging the community by providing examples of negative behavior to new players.

When you queue a roulette, you agree to run any duty in that roulette. If you are not willing to run every duty in that roulette then do not queue that roulette.

I've had a few times where myself and the rest of the group intentionally sat around in duty chatting because of a player doing force DC's hoping to skip the abandon timer leaving that person the option of eating their timer, doing the duty, or waiting for the duty timer to expire. We reported the ones that blew up in chat at us because of this before they left and ate their timer.

Take the 30min penalty
or
do not join mentor roulette if you are not up for the task that throw at you
