    Also, people truly interested in using their mentorship, and not in just wearing an "honor badge", read all that text. Just because you didn't that doesn't mean that everyone else didn't, either. In fact, from what I see on the Novice Network it would seem that you're a tiny minority, thankfully.

    Only truth up there is that the dungeons were badly designed... for the west. As I said years ago, SE didn't think about the cultural differences and about how selfish or self-centered the western playerbase is. That was their fault, yeah, and they learned from it (even if sometimes they still make similar mistakes related to those differences).

    And about the rewards, plenty of people run the MSQ roulette because it's worth it for them to do it. They can do it while half busy, or when they want to be relaxed while still playing and advancing, and all that exactly thanks to the resons that you stated. For those people these rewards are actually more than nice. If want to play more actively, do something else.

    To finish this, I'll say something: if you hate being treated like children, don't act like one. It's sad that SE has to make changes to "police" us so that we stop making other people's experience worse. Notice how all these issues are exclusive to us.
    My opinion is backed up by my personal ability to bail on whatever I wish, with full confidence in Square not able to doing anything against it without harming the queues that actually need help. They could go as far as to disable the withdraw option ingame and I'd just alt+f4.

    Your opinion is nothing more than a whine about what you think I should do as a mentor, and that ultimately isn't actionable.

    As for East vs West, the game is marketed and released in the west so they're going to get judged by the west. That is fine. And it's great they learned from their mistakes!

    What isn't acceptable is they've failed to correct their two greatest, self-admitted, mistakes for five years. That's just not acceptable, no matter where you're from. It reeks of negligence or incompetence. Wallpapering over the crap smeared on the wall with incentives doesn't fix the underlying crap smeared on the wall.

    I expect them to provide a dungeon worth rerunning on its own merits. Castrum/Praetorium, but Square's own admission, are not.
