    I turned off the mentor crown.

    I still shout mechanics in alliance raid. People are frankly more likely to listen to me without it.

    I keep mentor status active so I can direct traffic in Novice Network, and torture myself in mentor roulette on occasion. (One of my friends is trying to do 5 mentor roulettes a day right now. He's insane. He also has some extremely choice words about Ratholos Ex....)

    I don't wanna brag but 5 mentor roulettes a day is nothing. I was doing 20 or 30 per day when I was grinding them for the Astrope, and my FC leader was also doing that many when he grinded for his. I even went as far as doing 50 a day for the last 100 mentor roulettes, now that was insanity.

    There are certain periods of the day where queueing as a DPS gives you a bunch of guildhests. You can even get Bockman multiple times in a row. Those are 30-second victories.

    My experience:

    Tank - Mostly EX content with the occasional dungeon
    Healer: Mostly dungeon content with the occasional EX
    DPS: Mix of EX / Dungeons / small smattering of Guildhest

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
