Toxic Mentor Problem

[Gwenorai]

You don't understand anything about me or my problem. Rules for thee and not me, I guess. It's hard staying nice when someone thinks I have to be perfect like them or bow down. Maybe people need to be legit serious and maybe I'll talk to them more politely. If this is all the forums is like than what's the point in posting concerns and help?

Chuckle. I wonder if this works if you get banned. 'I'm sorry Moderator, rules for thee and not me.' And then everyone clapped.

What can we do?
We've all talked about how much of a joke Mentor status is.
I'm one, and people start getting buttpissed about trying to help in dungeons and stuff so I rarely help there.

NN for me is MUCH better. Everyone's usually trying to help whoever has a question and they are appreciated and
thankful about it.
If ya'll stop the whole "Don't tell me what to do" BS maybe people would be more willing to help.

Us Mentors get treated like crap as well too sometimes.
There is always bad apples in each side lol.

How is someone giving you advice—be it rotational or mechanical or whatever—demanding perfection?

The way you’ve reacted in this thread is honestly why I have my crown hidden and don’t say anything anymore. I’ve tried helping in the past. I’ve been polite as I can be even when I’m getting frustrated in that Extreme trial someone queued for and I got in Mentor Roulette. I just can’t take the verbal abuse anymore. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

I don’t really have an issue of people taunting me or discrediting me because I am a mentor. However, I do have issues with leafs and flowers using NN as a random discussion place and people complain to mentors all the time why nobody is being helped. If mentors try to step in to police the chat, we get told we don’t know what we’re talking about and what we’re saying is fine.

It’s a two way street.

To add to what everyone else said, the fact you can use ANY crown once you get mentor status just boggles my mind.

So, for example, you could find a mentor who unlocked his status via crafting using a PVE crown with no level 60+ combat jobs, which adds onto newbies getting even more confused. It's that silly.

To add onto that, the requirements are so stupidly low, one of those RMT companies even reached mentor status with one of their characters and is currently inviting sprout bots into the Novice Network to spam there as well. This is unacceptable.

We need a mentor purge. And soon.

I'm starting to think it wasn't the mentors in this case.

I know, I don't even know why she said that to me?
Would kick immediately out of a dungeon with that attitude though.

Violets are blue
Look OP this crown
Looks better off you.

Bad apples on both sides mentor just get extra scrutiny due to having something shiny, i only talk in NN when questions are being asked, no advice until a wipe or i see something that is glaringly bad ie ice mages/no card ast/abysmal gear etc most often i get a ty for advice after that it is down to them to see it through, if i get the "you don't pay my sub" guess what you can queue again because das silent boot would be initiated no matter where we are in the instance and if it fails i leave not going to support i do not care attitudes.
