Novice Network is full...

[kuma_aus]

So there is no chat for people who want to be mentored but already have 40 or more hours of game time? I was hoping there would be some way to interact with the mentors but if that's the only way that is kinda sad. I just hope that mentors who get randomly put in the harder content will give advice on mechanics, shortfallings and what not and not treat it as bonus rewards and leave after a single wipe.

Mentors have a symbol they can add to their name like the "Online" or "Busy" symbol. I can't log in yet but I'm pretty sure you could use Player Search to search for Mentors and ask them a question or post the question into mentor chat. Also no matter how many hours you put into the game, if it's the first time clearing a type of content I'm pretty sure the Mentor Roulette will prioritize you so you might end up being matched with one.

"Unable to join Novice Network. The channel has reached the maximum number of users."
As many of you might have realize you are mentor but you can't enter the Novice Network...
Yoshida should think about making more channel for it. It seems like it only limit 100 mentor.
My friends saw some trollers and rude mentor in the novice network LOL. Well there's no way Yoshida can fix those people :P

They said that the Network IS monitored. Those players can be reported, which will prompt the team to investigate and give a warning. Multiple complaints on them that are legit will cause them to be permanently banned from the Network.

I foresee horrors in the days to come. Horrors that you poor fools, you earnest enablers of your fellow man shall be powerless to prevent. For you only want to help...your hearts filled with compassion and good intentions, and the poor sprouts, was it? Yes, the poor sprouts so full of questions, that they want answered, questions that they believe you'll be able to answer, questions with their hideous grammatical mistakes lacking the correct punctuation and spelling that will leave you wondering if they're making a declarative statement, asking a legitimate question, or threatening an Amish person's life. Oh, ho, ho, you think you know but you don't, MENTORS. For the mods, the mods, THE MODS have tricked you into willingly performing an essential function of their jobs, and soon they'll sipping sweet iced tea and rocking on the porch while you go mad trying to feed the ravenous Cthulhu beast of hapless noobery your earnest blooooooooood!

Ah ah ah ah! You'll go maaaaaaaad!

Or get bored and stop doing it tomorrow.

I didn't get on the channel for the couple hours i was on before work. I'm curious to hear what's the mentor/sprout ratio at the moment (server dependant i know) 5 mentors to 1 sprout? That wouldn't surprise me at all.

LoL. I'm a teacher... I already deal with this and am quite mad as it is, so I suppose I'll do just fine. -=^.^=-

This needs some serious work. On Brynhildr, people are basically just using it as a server wide chat channel. I had to move it to another chat tab because the chat spam was ridiculous. Not even about mentoring newbies, basically using it as a Linkshell. They need to add chat restrictions to it or something, like you can only say so many things before you hit a cooldown before you can talk on it again. Otherwise, I don't see it being used much for its intended purpose.
