The Mentor System

[van_arn]

I'm new to the game and have been playing for almost 2 months now. I have played with many Mentors and I would say over 90% of the Mentors I've played with have been very toxic and rude to both me and other new players in multiple instances that I've joined. People achieve the mentor status just to walk around and have a crown next to their name as some kind of Title but they do not help new players instead I've seen them yell at other players telling them they should have watched a video before joining the instance, to play an easier job if they can't understand how to play it, not teaching mechanics or helping new players. Many and I mean MANY of the mentors have left the instance after the second or so wipe, I've made a few videos on it.

There should be some kind of way for Mentors to lose their Mentor status for being rude, Toxic, refusing to help new players, Giving wrong advice for mechanics, Leaving the instance and such. Something that would be the opposite of commendations. There are waaaayyy to many Mentors but only a few of them actually take their Mentor status with pride and help others. I wanted to become a Mentor, I was looking forward to it but all these Mentors are giving it a bad reputation.

Please consider doing some kind of change. Increasing the things you have to do to obtain the Mentor status just makes the crown look like a shiny Title to many, and many of them do not actually wish to be actual Mentors. Mentors have been the ONLY toxic players I have come across in my entire 2 months of playing.

Looks like someone is mad they need to do extremes in party finder rather than get free carries in duty finder.

I’d suggest being grateful you managed to find mentors that suffered through a wipe or two rather than just dumping the extreme parties as soon as they zone in.

Ultimately, if you want to participate in any of the endgames (be that at 50 or 60 or 70 or 80) you need to be prepared for them. If you can’t do that or are unwilling to do that, no amount of mentor “help” is going to make your experience reliably enjoyable.
