Mentors...please!

[KageTokage]

My only real gripe about the mentor system is the limited amount of space in the Novice Network for them when most of the mentors in there don't even care about being helpful and just want the crown.

The recent increase to the requirements purged a lot of the dead weight, but it's going to gradually fill up again as time goes on.

Simply making Novice Network opt-in only as opposed to automatic would likely resolve the issue.

Spam invitations to Novice Network was very annoying. Thanks to the experienced players, who warned me that is usually a lot of verbal garbage there. Honestly, I saw enough trash talking in Limsa Lominsa, where someone ERPed again and, it seems, the most stupid ERP makes more sense than Novice Network.

Must be a server thing. NN on Twintania is most of the time pretty cool *shrugs*.

The situation may vary from server to server. But it is obvious that the mentor-novice system does not work correctly at many of its stages. I understand that initially this system had good goals, to encourage players to help each other and strengthen the community, but people, as always, tend to misuse.

Sorry can people blessed with the gift of ultimate knowledge teach us how to use commendations and what to expect from a mentor?

I don't want to misuse commendations and give them to a helpful and friendly player when I should give them to someone solely because he plays a certain race or has a nice glamour.
Same for mentors if I ever become one I'd like to know if I should be helpful, patient and try to teach others or if I'm just here to fill a spot in a party and being useless.

There was good new commendation system idea from Packet dancer if any of you read it. The idea was to give the commendation systen more thought and different kind of commendations not just general one. It's few pages back or so if you want to give it a read and make your own ideas of it.

[SoranRigel]

I propose to introduce a separate achievement for mentors: "great glamour". And a separate type of recommendations for it.

[RajNish]

And we need recommendations for each race also. So good people will be not accidentally offended.

Nice to see you guys trolling now that no one takes you seriously anymore. Now that others are trying to think of ways to change the system you're making a joke of yourself. Well played

Is it a cute catboy in good glam? If yes then 100% will get my comm even if they die 100 times during one fight.
But aside from catboys, people who make the duty fun is also who get the commendation from me, since if someone can make Prae less pain full amd actually have fun in there, they damn right deserve my comm!

I hope you were joking, too.
