State of the game

And I expect that from most people, but not from a mentor and especially not from 2 mentors.

Unfortunately, this does go back to the underlying issues with the Mentor system...

Wherein there are actual rewards to be gained by becoming a mentor, that not only don't care how effective a mentor you are, but also decent enough to draw people into the Mentor system just for them.

This creates a system where people become a Mentor, purely for these rewards and not because they actually give a damn about helping other players.

Thus, ironically, it's often NON-mentors that are friendly and helpful. This isn't always the case, as there are still some nice Mentors, but in my experience there's a larger percentage of nice non-mentors than nice mentors.

That said, it sucks that you're moving on. FFXIV has one of the better online communities. It's not perfect, as you have experienced, but I tend to find much less toxicity here than in most other online games.

I do appreciate the feedback from everyone. I should rethink maybe renewing or not and perhaps my first thought was a bit premature.
I'm just unsure if I want to keep supporting a game that allows not only the power to be mean mentors but also their ability to ban people for x amount of time for just simply disagreeing with how a mentor acted. That to me is just the ultimate punch in the proverbial face.

Also, people can kick you out of the dungeon without reason, or maybe there will be a reason, but they couldn't even say it in fear of reports. If something like that made you unsubscribe from the game, maybe you shouldn't play games like this, where people can be negative all the time, so maybe this game isn't for you.

If you feel they were in the wrong, take action and report them. Mentors aren't actively monitored as that would require entirely too many staff and manhours....
