The problem with the mentor system

[Neoom]

No one asks mentors to be perfect. Enough basic mechanics, which is completely obvious. Don’t stay in AOE, wait until the tank pulls, kill adds as soon as possible if needed. And this does not apply to accidental mistakes. But I have seen many times how the people with the crown do the exact opposite. I don’t know for what reason, but it doesn’t seem like a good game, instead they make more problems for group.

I did say this in my full message

Let mentors make mistakes, they're human too, just like everyone else. And before this is taken out of context, I don't mean mistakes as trying to sabotage or purposefully ruin the duty.

I don't mean mentors can do all the mistakes they can and never looked at twice, but I mean silly mistakes happen, people can lag, space out I for one have fps drops so I most likely make ''mistakes'' when my game freezes. Doesn't mean it would make me a bad mentor. But if do sabotage the run by stacking aoes, turning the cleaving boss to the party etc. cause a wipe, it doesn't count as a mistake. Mistakes are human, but sabotaging and ruining the run on purpose isn't a mistake. And yes I've seen mentors and non mentors too do the latter for what ever reasoning (or none at all). I don't know if the 2000 duties/dungeons is enough to make sure the people who do mess up the runs on purpose not make it to a mentor, it only means you play a lot, not how you play so *shrug*
I'm not against the change ideas, but imo there needs to be something way different than just a lot of play time to make it to mentor since it won't tell anything of your play style or if you even remember the duties you have done. Maybe the ''reach X amount of commendations a week'' thing could work, even if it leads to fishing comms. I have no good ideas how to fox the system, I'm not so creative.

There should be a working "black list" as an effective way to reduce the number of conflict situations.
It will affect all players, not just mentors. It will help in the future to exclude from your duties groups including those players with whom you "did not agree in the game style": those who unwrap a boss on you, wipes your group, etc.

Blacklist that works better would be a savior to the game. Yes, it's not the worst, I have not met most of the people on my blacklist again after I put them there, but some I still have in my duties so it clearly needs some work to be fully functional. It's also not the fix to the whole problem, but it would help since some problems are just different play styles that clash instead of a ''real'' problem (as in something that needs reporting or a mentor having to be demoted(?) from the crown)
