    Mentor roulette changes planned for EW? Removing MSQ from it?

    Hey guys,

    I can't be the only one very annoyed when I get MSQ through mentor roulettes. I became a mentor to help new players through NN and mentor roulettes, especially EX content. I love guiding/teaching sprouts on how to kill EX trials.

    But when I get MSQ, it's literally a nightmare. It's the most boring content I've ever seen. Being stuck 40 minutes in it is not fun at all, and the new players clearly do not need any mentors to clear it.

    Do we know if any changes are planned for EW? I would be happy if they add a setting to get only EX content.

    Being a mentor means helping through ALL content not stuff you get to pick and choose. You are signing up for whatever content is needed.

    Effectively, this. It's literally the point of being a Mentor and why it has so many requirements getting into it. It's also why the rewards are what they are.

    You're playing a video game, why would you do things you don't enjoy? And calling it a nightmare is a wee bit much, don't you think? I do these dungeons weekly and I find them relaxing, plus satisfying whenever I get to help new folks learn the game. I'm not even a Mentor.

    Probably less but the quality would be better.

    I hope SE will change the design and make the MSQ dungeons solo instances you run with npc.

    When i get thrown in the long one via Mentor roulette I just leave bc you don't need 8 players to do it and open spots fill fast.

    They are changing Cape Westwind with 6.0 I believe so changes to Castrum and Praetorium might be coming as well.

    Tbh I don't care at all about the mount, I didn't became a mentor for this. Until yesterday I was not even aware that there was a mount to get. Like I said, I became a mentor to help new players through NN & mentor roulette, especially EX content.

    At the very least, Prae can be dropped. It's not like it is a long que for any class.

    I know, I know, "You signed up for mentor roulette this is what you get...!"

    But it's just one, simple and overly long dungeon amongst dozens when mentors already have the potential to que into things most players cannot. Give mentors a break
    Yeah mentors are not necessary at all during MSQ. But sadly, I don't think they will ever remove it.
