    So we're getting a mentor system and the training hall

    I wonder how exactly the mentoring system will work other than pairing up expert players with newbies (isn't that what the DF sort of is now?) I'm willing to help others, but I'm afraid other people will only do it for the shinies and might belittle newbies who aren't getting things right.


    Even though I'm far from a newbie, I'll check out the training hall myself just to see how it is. Might be interesting!

    Also, is this just going to benefit the level 30 and below folk? I know of some activities(like collectables and crafting rotations) that could use some help at the higher level.

    They have mentioned there will be different levels of training dummies, and they will basically be your checks for both mechanics and DPS - and you will need to beat them. That in itself will be your parser - I beat this and this dummy.

    I'm quite aware. I just find it still lacking for those who really want to see their output and its dynamics. Knowing that you managed to get through something is still quite different than knowing what you did right and what you did wrong. The majority of any information actually useful for self-improvement... lies with the parser. All the more so as the dummy is better able to replicate real circumstances for convenient but realistic parses.

    Well Mentor system might make it more likely you will pair with someone new, but in a way that says "I'm here to help" rather than being someone who might not care much for offering advice to new players.

    One potential problem that jumped out as soon as I read it was the addition of a mentoring roulette. If there are decent rewards from this roulette ,such as additional tomes, we know there will be plenty of people abusing it and not using it for its intended purpose. Going in trying to rush everyone to get rewarded as quickly as possible. It happens with everything in this game.

    And if there are no rewards nobody will bother because it will be completely pointless.

    Catch 22.

    If there are no rewards, then only the people who want to do it because they are nice will.. Sounds perfect to me.
