Mentors...please!

[Reinha]

There should be a counter for how many times they just up and abandon a duty that way if they do it many times their mentor roulette becomes suspended. There should also be a report mentor function that needs to be reviewed so that if someone is abusive to other players as a mentor it should be taken away.

Just noticed this in the OP and I would like to point out that there is a counter like that. DF as a whole is suspended for 30 minutes after leaving a duty or not accepting a queue pop 3 times in a row. Now, we can have a conversation about whether 30 minutes is enough to deter people from leaving duties, but the rule has to be consistent for both mentors and non-mentors. Mentorship does not mean flagging yourself as someone to be excessively punished and abused, as much as the player base would like to think so.

Additionally, mentors can already be reported and have their mentor status revoked.

I'm not sure what fixes people expect at this point. Regardless of what rewards this system provides, mentors who end up in extreme trials are still going to tell you to do it unsynced or use the PF because that's how most people do them. It's teaching you about the in game culture and etiquette. Just because you don't like the advice doesn't mean it's invalid.

The increase in the fine will exacerbate the situation when the player, having fallen into a toxic group, wishes to leave it. Now this already presents a problem.
I 'm not sure extending the fine is a good idea, and that 's not what we 're talking about in this topic.
