Late night A4 never goes right. However today I've seen a special case of special. Party composition with two Paladins that can't even rotate CDs properly, party is low on DPS. I'm healing on WHM my co-healer is SCH. I'm jumping in and out of cleric stance, not seeing SCH cast anything nor dots on bosses legs I check what they're doing. Every 10-20 seconds (I kid you not), this person casts a physic. Besides that he is literally jumping up and down. Just standing there. Jumping. Never seen so little effort put in. We wipe. It's late night. The party isn't the best. I poke the scholar a bit about it. "Never seen a scholar that chooses to do 0 DPS". Answer comes with "cause ur doing nothing" and a kick proceeds.
Worst thing of it all? This person qualifies to mentor due to the sheer amount of 60s that they have. I do not. I do no want to know what a person like this could teach to new players.

There's two things incoming in 3.2 that should make the situation better, but it won't. "Stone, Sky and Sea", this won't help, because you're not enforced to take a dummy parse exercise to enter content. and mentoring to better prepare the new players, but what will the new players be like if this is the kind of people that will mentor?

TLDR suggestion: make SSS forced to do instances, or at least to mentor. As right now the way that I see, some advises can be outright harmful to new players and I don't trust people that qualify to become advisers.
