Tell me stories when a mentor hurt you.

[Greyhawk]

Sorry to put you on blast

Please. This is a flat out lie, or you wouldn't say this to start. Those are your exact intentions.

this is Exhibit A about why the Mentor system is extremely flawed

No, I think you have that turned around. It's not the Mentor system that's the issue. Sure, it's not a perfect system and the network is an utter disaster. But what I stated isn't a symptom, it's a result. You can't differentiate.

1. Mad they can't wear a "crown" to show they are a mentor because they get hate. Why is this a huge hindrance for helping others? You still have the "mentor" status, and having the crown does not stop you from helping others.

Further proof you missed the point entirely. When you throw out insults in attempts to justify your position, you lost your credibility. I'm not mad at all about not wearing a crown. I'm fed up with the random insults that get tossed out just because of it, and I haven't said a word. Not wearing a crown doesn't stop me from helping those who want it, and I still give tidbits of information, i.e., alternating catching the red and black orbs fighting Lahabrea. There are veterans that still don't know that in order to stop killing themselves.

2. Literally admitted to griefing their parties because some people just can't figure it out fast enough.

No, that's not it, and maybe I should have given more detail to this, but we'll see how that goes when you are just writhing to reply. This is after the 4th and 5th wipes with half the raid that's not done something before, and after more than just me explaining mechanics, they still refuse to even bother. Another example, since you want to call this griefing: Not performing the active maneuver timer in The Seat of Sacrifice. If one person doesn't click the timed maneuver, the entire raid fails. Or, balancing the scales in Aglaia, people troll the entire raid to make them fail. Which, by the way is a reportable offense, and people were suspended for that. Yet, that along with tank busters dragged into raids is still a thing happening today because the tank thinks it's funny. That's griefing; me not raising someone who does these stunts or isn't contributing at all isn't griefing. It saves me MP to be more productive.

3. Instead of figuring out the boundaries of when and when not to help someone, they give up after a wall of text explaining an alliance raid gets shot down. Maybe some people want to go in blind? Maybe some people won't listen all the time? Sometimes you are gonna get shot down for advice. Take the hit and move on.

Instead of the players just telling, "STFU you piece of trash" and "STFU we don't need that git gud lol" and other things just because I am explaining a fight as quickly as possible, they can instead just give a simple, "Hey, can we go in this without help, and we can ask if we get in trouble?" is perfectly acceptable and I've received that ONE TIME in Copied Factory. Nowhere else, no other time. And, I was glad to oblige them. And, no to the other poster above you - there were no sounds going off in a macro. It was a quick and simple explanation in a macro designed to be short as possible while giving an overview of events per boss.

So yeah, keep believing the mentor program is the 'problem', please. It solidifies what I've already said.
