Novice Network has become unfriendly.

If more people lowered their expectations of NN and mentors we would also all be better off.

Expectation of NN are already at an all time low.
The mentor discussion is only tangibly related at best.

Would say it is not low enough. NN for many is simply a general chat, and like any general chat mileage will vary depending on many factors. I do not know for me any discussion around NN probably should include mentors. The whole system is flawed, and I do feel players would better off just using it as a general chat and view the crown as simple icon flare nothing more nothing less.

The tome of google is often far more helpful.

players are better off joining an fc that caters to helping new players at this point.

I saud it before but I think we’d be better off without that line of thought.

Novice Network was friendly at one point?

It has always been friendly, as long as you are not on american server.

May be the case but that is the reality of NN and always will be the reality if it is the only form of server wide chat, especially one that can be used while in duties. From my perspective those that wish to change what NN currently is are in the minority, so it would it not be easier for those to accept what it is, instead of grasping at what it should be. Most NN fights I have seen boil down to one side wanting general conversations to be at a minimum while others are okay with the occasional shit post.

Which begs the question of why haven't they implemented yet a general DC chat.

Honestly, when I first started and joined the NN, it was just a chat channel for mentors to roleplay or joke. People never really answered questions or were eager to help in my personal experience. I think the mentor system doesn't serve its purpose most of the time, but that's a whole other story.

Would be nice, but knowing SE probably has to do with RMT.
