I am a Mentor. A mentor who didn't just pick the status up because it was some pretty little crown on my head. I wanted to help, give tips, help people improve.

I'm getting to a point where I'm at no patience anymore.

Someone, please, explain to me why ANY advice is taken as some criminal offence. It doesn't matter what the advice is about. It could be basic rotations, could be stats, could be how to handle X mechanic properly, it doesn't matter. I've been ignored, lashed at, even harassed OUTSIDE THE DUNGEON over it.

The new trial is a wonderful example of this. First group I was in tried a strat, that looked to be too punishing on the group, as nobody was running to the correct spots that were pre-set. I dared to give an advice on trying to use it based on direction instead, saying it'd make it easier for, say, our dps knowing they just always run left rather than a letter they forgot the spot for. Was followed by harassment over DARING to question the party leader's strat.

I've also been getting parties with plenty of players in expert who clearly have no idea what their kit is. An example is a DRG that was never using Chaos Thrust, nor Heavy Thrust. Asked them to do it, basically got called some no life who needs a chill pill, and the tank said to ignore me, cussing at me, because I just asked the DRG to use a few extra abilities.

It's at a point I'm going to lose it on someone. I already had a close situation. And I even ALREADY took a 1 month break from any group content back in 4.1. Why is advice grounds for someone to harass me at this point? I'm only doing the role I was given, a mentor, trying to teach people!


Tl;Dr: I'm being treated like a criminal in parties for daring to help, and it's driving me insane.
