Mentor Roulette needs a serious overhaul

[Kaliesto]

Mentor Roulette will never go away because that be in direct confrontation with the JPN servers that probably have a better handle on Mentor Roulette than the NA servers.

I'm afraid this is more of a cultural problem rather than a gameplay problem.

Not surprising at all then that NA players would demand someone else fix something that isn't working for them instead of doing it the right way since it's clearly possible.

I don't really play pve anymore but if I did, it would be a lot better.

You yourself said newbies can't do extremes, which means you as a newbie couldn't do extremes, which is actually easy content. Newbies clear ARR Extremes all of the time.

Emphasis mine.

Newbies rarely clear EX's other than the extremely easy ones (Garuda, Maybe leviathan)

Unreal clear rates show that even vets have trouble at synced min ilvl runs of old EX's (which is what unreal is supposed to simulate).

There are still people who get knocked off Titan's platform 8 years after the fact and after the netcode changes to be better. Ramuh routinely wipes groups because they don't know how to clear orbs or even swap to adds despite Ramuh going immune.

Newbies in Thordan EX min ilvl? LOL. Newbies in Sephirot EX? No thanks. Seat of Sacrifice?

Point is, there is usually 1 or 2 "easy" EX's per tier and after that they can get mechanically heavy and if newbies are just queueing up wanting to be carried with no knowledge before hand? Not many people have time for that.
