Mentors...please!

[Hatfright]

Personally I almost never see ppl getting angry over small stuff, especially in mentor roulette. If you meet these "weird ppl" that often, then there's also chance that you're just that bad that ppl can't help getting angry at you. And no please don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to be a****** or anything, but it's definitely my personal experience. Some ppl are just THAT bad. I don't know how it is in your case, but if you meet such people THAT often, you might need to revisit the Hall of Novice for your own sake, too.

As someone who plays with Raj constantly, I can assure you, he don't need to do that.

Most of the "weird mentors" I've met gets angry about pretty everything, and most of the time it's not even EX trials. They mostly treat you like you're one of Trust NPC, except you can do aoe damage. And most of all, it's "you're not goin fast enough" thing that makes them angry. I mean, yeah, okay, I can pool whole dungeon, no probs, but are they able to heal me through that? Nope. I can DCD my axe off, but you only have that many DCD. Or it's other way around, they expect you to heal with them using zero DCD. That stuff happens all the time I do roulettes without friends. All. The. Time. Do I have a need to revisit HoN to meet their expectations? No, I don't think so.
Experts, leveling, trials, raids, no matter what roulette it is, if there's a crown in the crowd, most likely someone will be talked off. Most of the time if there're a newbie, there'll be no tips for the fight even if someone asks for it. You'll get "don't die" if you're lucky. Yeah, thanks, great advice. It's not mentorship.
Noticed funny (if you can call it that) thing. People want to run through something faster, but refuse to give advice for new people. In most late and post-ARR dungeons it likely will get at least the newbies killed, in some cases party too. How's that for "faster clears"? Spendin 2-3 min to explain what to expect? No, they better spend it running from the start. Best example here is the World of Darkness. Why tell people to catch the meteors (or go catch it yourself) if you can complain about it killing you all instead, am I right? It's not mentorship either. And it happens constantly.

That is something to consider: Mentors can 'help' and give 'advice'... but they are not there to 'carry' or 'literally teach you how to play' past a particular point.

I agree. But least you can expect from mentor is being a decent human being and not gettin flamed when you literally did nothing wrong but haven't played the way they wanted you to.

So yeah. System stinks. It needs rework at best. I'd be glad for it to go. NN can be easely replased with other world chat, so if someone needs advice, they can ask for it here for anyone to see. At least some good soul will answer.
