I removed mentor status today.

No one would touch the mentor system if it didnt have the crown icon.

Not true. Many hide their crown icon. It’s forced when you do mentor roulette which is understandable but I wish they’d changed it to something less ostentatious.

If the chat is getting that far out of what is acceptable, report it to the GMs and blacklist those participating. If they agree that the chat violates ToS, they'll take action against all those involved and not just the single reported player. They may even remove mentor status from those who are mentors if the chat is extremely far outside of ToS.

But the last thing you want to do is complain about it in NN itself. All that usually accomplishes is getting you kicked by one of those who will shout "censorship, freedom of speech".

I've joined on my max level characters for the NN access. First thing I did was turn off the crown on each of them because I don't want that thing hanging over my characters' heads. I just want to help answer questions in NN when I can, and help with first time clears for MSQ (especially trials) if I'm on one of my Marilith 90s.

Thankfully, the NNs on my characters' worlds are fairly decent. It's when I go to other worlds that have NN not already packed with mentors that I run into chat about questionable topics. Don't think I've felt a need to report anyone over NN chat since I transferred an alt off Siren mid-Shadowbringers, though. Now that was a cesspool.

I never knew you could remove mentor status. Every time I login I'm put in the mentor status for NN. I never have my crown turned on.

You can leave NN like a sprout can but you can turn auto-join on whenever you want. You can also remove your mentor status at the smith. There is a 30 day wait period to reinstate if you wish to do so.

Doesn't that remove your ability to participate in mentor roulette? You're shooting yourself in the foot to spite a few mentors lmao.

no the only thing that keeps you from participating in mentor roulette is not being caught up on EX trials. I never use Novice Network as a Mentor

Not every mentor cares about mentor roulette. Many are there to help new players with whatever content they're comfortable doing, not to farm for the mount.

I always have my mentor crown turned off on my characters. The crown doesn't make me a better mentor and considering the bad reputation some mentors give the system, it can make it easier to help those who want help.

I also don't have to have it displayed for a sprout to get the extra XP bonus for queueing with a mentor in low level content. It was funny when my Marilith FC got a new member and we were helping them get the initial MSQ dungeons done. The "additional XP for queueing with a mentor" message appeared and one of the other FC members went "that must be a bug, there's no mentor in this party" not knowing that my character is a mentor.
