There's also ones that have just given up in trying to teach people because they get a bunch of salt/snark in the response of you don't pay my sub or a shut it you elitist jerk. Then there are the ones who don't wear the crown who still occasionally teach.
    you obviously didn't read the title.

    also, you are just proving my point. if you are not going to give a crap about being a mentor then you shouldn't be a mentor.

    he didn't kick my dog. he was telling a new player to get good or quit playing the game just because the new player didn't like the tab targeting system. saying that if you are going to criticize the game then don't play it. what kind of logic is that? every game should be criticized. I don't blame the new player the tab targeting in this game is garbage. but that isn't a reason to tell the new player to quit the game.

    Then yeah that mentor was obviously not a nice one. Other threads tend to be rawer a mentor kicked me or my friend even though there's no way to tell who actually starts a kick. Just that it had to be the guy wearing the crown. Then the thread evolves into a mentors should always know everything and teach everyone all the time no matter how polite their hey could you please use your cool downs gets the responses of "you don't pay my sub" or "could you not be an elitist jerkwad". Then there's the mentors who get trolled by other mentors who try to pass off wrong info for correct info and tell new people to ignore the actual correct advice. While pretty much a consensus on that it needs to be fixed, but without agreement on how. The big allure being of course the giant unicorn pegasus two seater you don't have to pay extra to get that's also not linked to a limited time event.

    I personally don't care if you are being raw or uncut. If a new player tells you those things then block them or tell them off. If they want to respond like an ass then they should get a response = to how their response. However, I don't see how it can be good for the game to tell new players to quit if they don't like something rather than teaching them how to abuse these systems to work for them rather than against them.

    Like for the tab targeting. If you tilt the camera to reduce the amount of enemies on the screen then you will have a better chance at targeting the enemy you want rather than one 10 miles in the distance. Or a response to the new player, "While i don't know how to answer this for you i'm sure another mentor could." Or just not say any thing at all. There is no reason to call them scrubs and tell them to piss off. Also, if you don't want to answer questions or be bothered by new players you can turn the chat on and off willy nilly and you can skip a day of roulettes. It won't kill you to skip a day.

    (not attacking you btw, just very frustrated when thinking about this whole situation)
