Reminder for mentors.

[ArmaDragkun]

It's pointless trying to talk to someone like you. You close your eyes and cover your ears screaming "lalalalalala" because you don't like what another person has posted.

Answer me if you can be bothered to open your eyes. What does "Be an exemplar for player etiquette" mean to you? Because just being polite doesn't mean shit when everyone else is polite to. Oh wait guess what? Non mentors give advice too. The whole point of being a god damn mentor is go ABOVE AND BEYOND what the average / normal player would do. So yes that means allowing a someone who is going into a new boss for the FIRST TIME the chance to tank it.

Honestly it's so annoying trying to get it into your mind that I'm not demanding I tank all the time only to be given the chance to MT the boss when it's my first ever time doing it. Especially when the content has been out for a while meaning anyone who has wanted to tank it has done so by now.

God you must be horrible to talk to in the real world. Anyone says anything you don't like and you just shut then down without even listening to their point of view.

Sounds like projecting, especially since I went down point-by-point since you accused I didn't read what you said. But since you take that stance, I am gonna stop reading here and not read the rest of your post.

Mentors are veteran players who chose to offer their time and experience to help guide new adventurers. To facilitate their assistance, mentors will gain access to a special chat channel as well as a means to easily register for duties and trials with new players.

As a mentor, you are expected to actively perform the following:

Provide gameplay advice for new adventurers and other players.
Be an exemplar for player etiquette.
Invite new adventurers to the Novice Network, and answer their queries in the chat channel.

Be an exemplar for player etiquette.

I've recently just started doing the DT normal raids. Every single time I sign up for the first time and enter I'll put forward the message about "Hi first time here hope it's ok if I tank" You know what happens? Every single time the other tank ISN'T a mentor they are more than happy to let me tank and learn. Whenever it's been a mentor they spam taunt and refuse to let me tank it.

Being an EXEMPLAR for player ETIQUETTE. Like come on. Is it so much to ask to allow a first timer to tank. As tank you only ever get the one time to tank a boss blind. After that you can never experience it again for that boss. You know what's coming where to go ect.

Also before anyone says anything. Whenever I tank with someone who is a first time tank I'll always let them tank it if they want to. Sometimes they don't and that's fine. But I will always give someone the chance to tank a boss blind since I understand the joy it can bring. But I guess for some mentors who are supposed to be paragons of this game when it comes to kindness and being helpful that's too much

Additionally if you're going to go around with the mentor tag you shouldn't be ignoring chat. That is literally part of the agreement you have. How can you help anyone if you're ignoring chat?

i m a mentor who help out ppl as much as i can however i'll tell u one thing, a lot of randoms shit on mentors in chat if u try to teach ppl since they think mentors are elitist and they wanna learn on their own, so most mentors stay quiet unless ppl type in chat for advice and help

also regarding tanking, i mainly tank, and even among randoms u will find ppl spamming provoke with stance on battling to get aggro of boss because being MT is fun and makes u main character lol, but ultimately most mentors just wanna keep aggro to safely carry the party to victory and get the job done rather than letting a sprout with barely any gear do the hard lifting, but it really doesnt matter in normal raids or trials since its super easy (made for babies), so ultimately nobody cares or gives a damn who has aggro, i myself leave the stance on and if the other tank provokes i just let them be and get the duty done asap, cause as someone said already in this thread most mentors are just trying to duty completion asap for the mount achievement

also if ur gear suk as a tank while the other tank has good gear and drk/gnb, then even without provoke they will steal aggro from boss if they have stance on

"Be an exemplar for player etiquette" is such an arbitrary term, though. Ask 1,000 players, you may get 1,000 different answers. In light/full parties situation, they are easily warped into "majority rules".

Maybe if SE actually stop treating their playerbase as if everybody born and live in JP, then they can start seeing how the regulation won't always be received flawlessly.
