Aggro Icon

[Sorel]

If they do get rid of this icon, I hope you guys help teach every newbie what aggros. Trial and error is time consuming and frustrating.

FFXI used to have a Mentor flag that a player could turn on to indicate that they can be approached for questions or to help other players. It may not be a bad idea to bring that over to FFXIV.

That was used as a badge of honor, and no one gets it anymore. I just quit ffxi due to RL issues mixed with the community turning to crap.
No one I knew took that mentor thing seriously only complained about getting ask questions. And this was 5 years ago.
true story
Last time I needed help, I was lvling a low lvl whm and couldn't locate a bronze hammer. I asked my LS if anyone was heading to bastok soon. I got no replies.I waited about an hr and tried asking again.

I still got no replies. So I started to run my lvl 5 whm butt to bastok from Windurst. I ran all the way to south gustemberg and died by aggro I couldn't even see. My hp was in windust so I wasn't getting stuck in selbina as I only had about 800 gil. I asked for a raise or and then someone said "i'm busy". thats it.

that is the norm now in ffxi. I wish I was lying. No one get the mentor flag. No one liked getting questions from ppl with it on. They are too busy getting content done to even be bothered to help anyone.

After I died it took 45 min for me to get a raise. I wouldn't have needed that raise if I actually saw the quadev. And I wouldn't even be in that mess if I got at least a reply to my first asking for help.
