Parsers add replayability for casual players

I mean, I can look to my own behaviour in both games. I will organize group kicks to get out underperformers when I struggle in WoW because that is what the game has conditioned me to do. Even if I try to advise, odds are, I’ll be the one finding myself on the outside of the group. In FFXIV, if someone is underperforming, I take the time to advise and guide them when I have knowledge that can help. That little crown by my name lets the person know that I’m actively trying to help them, not attack. I have had a few people say that they don’t want my help and… fair enough.

and the response

Your behavior in WoW is toxic, but I can’t blame you for it because the game has been rewarding you for it for years. You no longer treat it like a game. You treat it like a job, and you see your role as a manager at a toxic workplace who cuts underperformers so that the rest of his team has less work to do to succeed. That kind of environment is not conducive to a pleasant gaming experience.

Wait.. do people actually look to the mentor crown for help?

Frequently. With constructive results.

Must not happen often then. I guess some players get lucky with the one or two good mentors.

More than two, Sturm...you'd be surprised.

Alright.. alright.. I'll concede. There might be three or so good mentors. At MOST three and a half, because the last one is a lalafell.
