Toxic Mentor Problem

[DenzelVilliers]

There's a lot Toxic Mentors in this game, i left Novice Network because of that, many elitist Mentors that never interacts with chat not even to say "Hi" and loves to ban people without any relevant reason.

At the beggining for ShB i was talking with another mentor in NN about GNB skills, a Randon mentor said that wasn't the place to talk about game mechanics and we should send PM to each other because NN was made for questions and nothing more, well, there's no place in game or Lodestone that says that NN is made for ONLY and EXCLUSIVELY answer novice questions, and who socialize or talk about game mechanics is bannable. The funny thing is that 5 min later the same mentor started to talk about a "Pizza Bob" that he bought last night, so i can't talk about game stuff in NN but he can talk about Pizza?.

To be honest, most of Mentors, like over 90% of them do not know nothing, do not help anyone, do not answer any question or anything that the purpose should be, they are mentors only to talk in NN, to get Mentor Rolettes Achievments or just because Mentor Icon is "cute" to use. Are useless abd arrogant people in their most.

But some people that aren't mentors are quiet abusive too, last week i did a Rolette as AST against Lakshmi, everyone forgets to use stance at least once in your life especially in Sync content that reset your buffs when you start it, so the other healer started to scold me with offensive words saying that he was healing alone ( as if AST can't heal at all without stance ) and that mentors these days sucks and etc, i just reported him right after that fight for harassment.

That's off-topic for the NN, probably liable to be kicked. Pizza and anime is what NN is for!

That sucks, my goal is to reach Mentor status since I really like helping others but getting stuck with really rude ones is making me question that goal.

Think about this for a second. If the way you act when people try to direct you to what you are doing is wrong, why do you think people would react any different when you do the same once you get a shiny crown?

Or you can just be a mentor without giving a damn about the system. There are hundreds of mentors who help just as there are hundreds of non-mentors who help too. The only difference between the two is that one is perceived with unrealistic expectations and the other is still told to shut up when it comes to giving advice. I'll let you decide which is which.
