Mentors...please!

[RajNish]

The vote kick button is great for those toxic players but since you want constructive criticism, here's a thought.

Thanks a lot for your answer. I noticed an interesting tendency. Unlike other games in FF 14, players do not kick a player who behaves inappropriately. They prefer to remain silent and suffer for 15-20 minutes in order to finish the dungeon faster, instead of looking for replacement.

Is it perfect? No. A mentor can merely leave the instance before anyone can vote and won't prevent premature departures as a result of someone not wanting to spend time in Ex primals or MSQ scenarios, not to mention Trolls can demerit you merely for their own enjoyment but at least there's something to dissuade Toxic Behaviors.

It would be nice if, at least, someone from the GM team was involved in mentor issues. You see, the main problem is indifference. A specialized reporting function, a separate reputation, and so on would probably help.

Too many have the crown because they want a mount and have no interest in being helpful.

This. Several times I met in groups beginners and mentors. Even when newcomers asked about tactics, most mentors were silent.

That's why mentors should be something more than casual players that know general info about the game and the basics of the three roles.
The thing is, there's nothing in this game that certifies your skill except for (current) savage and ultimate achievements, but that's probably a bit too much to ask of mentors.

You can be a casual player, but good enough at the mechanics, IMO that’s all you need.

because there's no computer program on Earth sophisticated enough to determine tone and intent in human speech patterns.

Of course, the meaning and intonation of the some mentors words: "You are ***** idiot!" very hard to catch. They probably come from another planet where there are 365 bad days and their words should be interpreted the other way around. "Hello!" instead of "Morons!" and so on.

I have never seen a party where mentors won't reply if people ask for help.

It's that time of the year where one mentor said something offensive so all mentors should go to hell. The usual stuff.

If you are fortunate enough not to see this, this does not mean that they do not exist.

Unfortunately, far from the only one.
You can verify this using the example of this thread.

There is a systemic and widespread phenomenon. The mentoring system does not work.
