Remove the Mentor crown

[Moonsprite]

I feel like they should separate the NN into two chats. The DoH/DoL mentors can be in their own chat. I think the requirements for mentors is too easy for DoH/DoL. I didn’t renew my crown before 6.1 even though I meet the requirements. NN is just a gossip channel and the purpose of helping people seems to be lost.

Like the title says, I think SE should remove the mentor crown.

It's nice to know who to usually ask for aid in crafting things, amongst other arguments. I disagree.

Okay but why not change the icon to something else? Keep an icon on them, just not something that inflates egos?

One of the reasons I wear it is to prevent abuse in dungeons. There are players that prey on sprouts or non-mentors and are rude to them. When I've been on alt characters I have had people attack me for unreasonable things and I would never get such abuse with the mentor icon. When they see that icon they know I have more experience than them so they don't bother saying anything.

Most of the time when I report people it is on my characters that don't have the mentor icon and it's not necessarily mentors being rude, but people without the mentor icon too.

Is this really prevalent on your dc? I haven't ran a mentor icon for several years now, and I rarely receive abuse.

Abuse in general is rare but if I go through the MSQ all the way to 90, especially on european DCs, there is usually one or two incidents where I end up reporting someone.

So in, I presume, hundreds of hours there are only a couple incidents where you feel the need to report, and this, in part, justifies the mentor crown?

I think the mentor system should be revamped. should be more focused on 1on1 maybe? i think it does do good though, I see people getting their questions answered all the time, but ofc there are trolls as well. I think for the most part it does more good than harm though.

Yes, because those rare experiences can ruin a person's week or month. SE knows that a single incident can cause someone to quit the game or avoid doing duties altogether. If the mentor crown prevents all of these experiences, then why wouldn't I wear it?

The merits of having a chatroom with multiple mentors inside is to have some sort of insurance in case whoever answered answers incorrectly. At that point the other mentor can step in to correct their mistakes. Of course, there are also these funny mentors who’d lash out when they get corrected.

Sometimes I think status ‘mentor’ should have more specifications like ‘Melee DPS Mentor’, ‘Healer Mentor’, ‘Gatherer Mentor’, and so on. How do they create such system? I have no idea, just a cent of my thought, because a mere ‘mentor’ is too generic and they often are not the ‘know-it-all’-player; they tend to give ineffective tips when they are asked with a question that’s beyond what they normally touch.

I.e. Caster main gets asked about healer question because… well they’re a ‘Battle Mentor’! They should know it all, right!?
