Combat Mentors - From the view of newish player

[Katie_Kitty]

I think the main issue with Mentor is how they'll push people into things like synched Extreme trials, and then wonder why the Mentors are salty that a bunch of new players are wiping to fights even many established players don't bother with synched. It's one thing to coach a Sprout through MSQ content or side story content, another entirely to throw Mentors in at the deep end with Sprouts.

So I'm creeping up on the halfway point to the mount, and I gotta say, the number of problematic mentors I've witnessed don't even fill up one hand. I've seen one guy who has a tendency to post a whiny macro and then leave if he gets extremes, but that's the worst I've seen. Generally, the extremes I see in mentor roulette tend to be completed within 30 minutes, although some take longer and some do not get completed at all. But it's a tiny minority of extreme runs where there are any issues, especially from mentors. I've seen more sprouts get immediately sassy with people just because of the crown than I have mentors causing problems.
