Mentors...please!

[RajNish]

Then why you still complaining here?

All is simple. Problem is identified, and I want to discuss it. Why do you call this a complaint?

And just cause YOU a 1 (one) single person will listen to other players explaining mechanics or other advises this is simply not the case most of the time. Usual response is the ''Dont tell me how to play'' or ''Im doing this blind dont ruin it for me''.

Perhaps I should say that you’re just not lucky with the sprouts, like me with the mentors, and this is a subjective view. But, since we communicate freely here, as I said above, there is still a problem. Lack of communication and interaction. If being a mentor is so hard, why make good people suffer?

So if the mentor cant help because of language barrier, are they a bad mentor?

Usually, the game mechanics are fairly easy to explain. And, of course, this can be done without words like "idiots" etc. This is not about a language barrier.

Report them when you see them on act. Sure everytime you meet one or get one in your game it ruins it for you, but its 1 in 100 or more games. You can live with one bad duty and move on after reporting, what you being mad about it will do? Make you enjoy the game less and have a bad mood. And I'm not saying people have the right to be rude or something, I'm just saying, report/blacklist and move on.

Read the previous posts, please. This thread is not about reporting to GM’s, this thread is about people who are the mentors, but do not match their role.

Ok, in your own words, what should a mentor be?


Here's what I've said before over a year ago in another thread:

THIS IS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! This is so far off the mark that you are in China when you should be in New York!

SE did not make savage raiding a requirement to be a mentor. SE made mentor system to help low level players learn the game at a basic level. Basic rotations, general questions, and stuff like character config and system config. Novice Network is filled with new players still progressing through the game starting at level 1. The "New Adventurer" status is applied to all players who have less than 168 hours of play time and have not completed the quest The Far Edge of Fate, not players at end game raiding. Just because you have some twisted idea of what a mentor is supposed to be does not make it true.


No they aren't. The average mentor have the same gameplay skill as the non-mentor. You just have such a biased preconceived notion that mentors should be great at the game that when you run into a bad one, you notice the crown and take notice of it more. I'm sure you ran into a bunch of mentors who played just fine but you didn't notice they had a mentor crown on or you don't remember them because they played their role adequately so there was no noteworthy reason to remember them.
