Did the word "volunteer" not resonate with you?

EMPLOYEES have duties, volunteers are there to contribute as they see fit, they have no duties, no obligations, no requirements. An EMPLOYEE is PAID, a volunteer is there out of goodwill, which can be retracted at any time for any reason they see fit.

DO NOT make the mistake of equating one for the other. I can right now go ingame and decertify, walk away permanently, no "two weeks notice", no "obligation to remain".



So, they need a resume now?




Put idiotic standards like this in place, and you may find out just how many are unwilling. I am way past "sitting mandatory examinations", I and others will be more than happy to refuse...all of a sudden you will find yourself with empty NN channels.

For some an empty NN would be a nice thing.

A mentor is not a teacher they are there to offer support and point people in the right direction. If you don't know the knowledge you show them where to find i

The job of a mentor is to teach, to assist, to answer questions, not to flip a sprout off and tell them to "Google it".

Homie which is it? My man, that thing on your face is messed with you or something, cause you make no sense.

Its because mentoring is rarely used as a word as they nearly always just overlap with teaching directly. The diffirence is minimal here, and other languages can even have diffirent words, concepts and meanings. Teaching is the most generic term used to combine any aspect in which someone makes someone else learn.

snip.

You’re all over the place. Guess your position changes according to who you are responding to. Maybe idk… get your thoughts collected before you trip over them again

That is true, but I do not think that is he case here. They have swapped positions from early on to the thread and now.

Go back in the thread, I did not say this at all. I was quoting someone else and hit enter too soon.

I take it back, I forgot the way you quote things makes things messy. Depending on what or where you are volunteering even unpaid ones do not have certain responsibilities, standards, protocol they have to follow. If you do not want to meet those standards then yes they are free to leave without questions. Just because someone is a volunteer does not mean they can shirk their duties. Having stricter requirements means those that pass said requirements are better suited to meet a higher standard. volunteer positions do not mean they have to take anyone off the street. Right now it is a meme, upping the requirements will help reduce on the stimga, and also increase the quality of help,

Harder requirements make the crown symbol more prestigious, not less. Right now it's a burger king crown for people with 3 max level jobs. If you require savage, it becomes a savage crown. You think people wouldn't want to wear a savage crown like they use the flaming wyrm mount or their dyed savage gear?

This.

You make it hard to get, and it'll actually MATTER.

It'll go from something people who don't really mean anything, and have too much time, and are generally useless, wear to be silly...

To being a mark of the best of the best... and then those folks will be HUGE snobs about it, and there will be 0 actual useful instruction.

So you're defo not a crafting mentor then.

You know, I think I WILL take a moment to teach people.

If your a crafter, and have some spare junk low level materia sitting around, of any kind, you slot them into crafting gear, because gear with materia spirit bond faster. This lets you extract materia from it, useful crafting ones, at a faster rate.

Combine this with a spiritbond potion and maybe a scroll or other buff, and you'll be rolling in the materia.

And then when you DO need the extra stat points to make the next harder craft work with your macro of choice, you take them out (You did use old ones with a 100% removal rate) and overmeld in the ones you need.
