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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    As someone who got Astrope the hard way, I can guarantee your method is a lot easier to exploit and would not help any new players.

    I'd be more inclined to not go 'for fuck sake' when raids and EXTs showed up in mentor rou' if there was a better reward for doing it. Raids I don't, but when I get EXT I just wonder why people aren't using party finder to get clears...

    If they removed EXT and raids for mentor that would be even better.
