I think mentor roulette rewards should be awarded based on time rather than run count

[Neihel]

that way mentors have an incentive to help out in extreme trials and battles which take a long time

rather than speed running and ruining the experience for the entire party to meet the requirements, sometimes mentors even leave because they just want a fast run

Mhm...issue is that the mentor then has the incentive to drag the run out as much as possible. That's not ideal either.

Setting incentives is a fickle thing.

if that happens the mentor can be kicked and maybe reported so they may lose mentor status

Considering the type of drivel talked about in mentor chat that GMs do little about. I somehow doubt mentor status would be revoked. Regardless, there are plenty of easily abusable ways that are perfectly within the rules. Examples?

- Small pulls; to the tune of single mobs
- Limited or no cooldowns usage if a tank
- No DPS whatsoever as a healer
- Refusal to AoE mobs
- Frequent ready checks/long countdowns

None of those would be considered a reportable offense since it falls under the umbrella term of "their playstyle" yet they all could make even Sastasha an agonizing slow run.

This. I feel like what we have now is a fine compromise. Honestly though, IMO, if you are truly focused on helping people (which you should be as a mentor) how fast you complete said content shouldn't matter much.

Honestly my only gripe with being a mentor is that I'm not mentoring anyone.. Literally. I thought being a mentor would put me in groups with "freshies" that hadn't completed a dungeon or trial before, half the time it's me, 2 other mentors and some guy called Ted. >_>

wouldn't even let me join duo mentor with a friend but it would put me with some random mentor when I'm mentoring

That too, and I couldn't level a class whilst I mentored either. Had to be lvl 60. At least during stormbrood I can /hopefully/ level my classes as I mentor.

Agreed. I don't feel extreme content should be part of the Mentor System. The hard Trials absolutely they're required for Main Scenario completion. But extreme? No. Extreme is meant for players that have already mastered game Mechanics, not for the freshies we're supposed to teach.

Nah, that is way too abusable like someone said above. People could just sit in there for an hour and run the clock out for no reason. Yeah, you can kick but the other 2-7 people in there would still have to deal with their time being wasted.

Might be better to reward more completion points for harder things. So EX Primals and harder things maybe give 2 completion points toward the achieve. Still encourages mentors to help with harder things and doesn't have the drawback of intentional stalling.
