    Even if the 'not-knowing-the-strat-people' don't identify themselves, it is often plain obvious they don't know it and real mentors should act consequently (explaining the strat).

    Suggestion summed up : being able to report mentors to deprive them of their mentors status should enough report be accounted for in order to force mentors to act as mentors not leeches.

    Sorry if this report already exists but I didn't find any.
    A mentor is not obligated to give advice unless asked. And even then, most fights can be explained in 2-3 sentences. Not to mention it's a two way street, newbies should put forth the effort in researching content they are not familiar with, there are tons of guides and videos available for one's perusal. Stop acting like mentors are beholden to you, such an entitled opinion. If mentors are being jerks and harassing you for being new then report them, but if they aren't doing anything to you then it should not be grounds for stripping mentor status.

    Even new players sometimes like to learn as they go.

    Kylki, you make it sound like you expect mentors to know everything and that they must supply this information to you in advance. Nothing regarding the mentor system makes one am expert. They're just going to be somewhat more familiar with the subject. Almost every dungeon cam be summed up as "kill the things, don't stand in colours.". If there's a specific mechanic you encounter and we're unsure of, all you gotta do is ask! Even if the mentor is unsure of an answer, that isn't a crime.

    Please stop holding mentors on this lifted pedestal. I mean I'm one myself and while I love to give answers where I can, it's strange to see how dependant others can get on this.
    Pretty much this.
