Is EU pretty much dead?

Like... genuinely... this is the requirements?

Battle Mentor Requirements
Complete Role Quests: Finish the current expansion's role quest lines for Tank, Healer, and at least one DPS role.
Complete Duties: Complete 1,000 instanced duties (dungeons, raids, or trials).
Earn Commendations: Receive 1,500 player commendations.

So... I'm confused? How easy do you want it to be? Lol

Wasn't it all dps roles?

Also, the comms can be very fickle if you group a lot with others. On top of the fact many people don't give any coms at all ime.

I don't want to do quests and leveling for all 3 roles. Should be enough to have the other roles at lvl 50 or something. Like what is there really sooo new that I need to experience the fight on said role to be able to talk about it? While reality is anyway, that I will play PvP to level these classes to 100 and never play them in PvE. So what does it matter in the first place? I am just forced to level them and do quests I do not care about, so I can do some mentor roulettes. But the system rather downgrades me to sprout, because I didn't do mainstory lol. I think the downgrades should happen after 20 levels story difference maybe not 10level. You have ultimate raiders, solo deep dungeon guys, and other hardcore people lose mentor, because they took a break from the game, instead of being able to help real newbies.

You can get them fast in PvP, I have over 10k, but I am sprout because I didn't play dawntrail. Idk why mentor needs all mentor dutys unlocked. Like 200 dutys unlocked, but you really need all 202 dutys to be able to queue. There should be a cutoff at like 75% duties unlocked, you can go mentor roulette already.

I get that it can be frustrating, but you don’t actually need mentor status to help newbies—mentor status just formalizes it and gives you access to Mentor Roulette. If what you really want is easy access to Mentor Roulette and the mount that comes with it, then… the solution is simple: do the work. That’s literally what the system is designed for. If they changed it or made it even "easier" than it is, everyone would be able to do it. Yeah sure getting commendations as DPS might seem harder since the majority seem to commend tanks or heals, it's not impossible.
I don't know man, helping people vs complaining that mentor is too difficult to obtain... kinda wild.

No, one DPS job, any role (melee,phys ranged, magic ranged), is enough.
Once you do 1K duties, this requirement is done forever (until they update the requirements).
Once you get 1.5K commendations, this requirement is done forever (until they update the requirements).


So it is only asking you to level 3 jobs, one of each role in the trinity, and do your role quests. Nothing more. I'm afraid it doesn't get any easier than this...

I don't like the mount, my previous reply was about having easy access to a way to join potentially in progress duties. You can't easily get into arr ex trials by roulette after all, you would have to check them manually and see if it pops. And well you quickly are at the 5 duty limit when selecting, so its bothersome, instead of having just one roulette button to check it. Normal trials are too easy, leveling is too boring, alliance raids often too easy - because only the lvl50 ones pop mostly. So the only roulette that offers semi difficult content was mentor roulette.
I did do the work several times, in past addons, I just don't feel like you have to constantly keep up with literally all duties to keep the roulette. Mentor becomes more like a "be subbed" role then, instead of really about game knowledge.

Because that's what it's supposed to do? Newbies are constantly thrown into new battles, and thus when a new expansion launches, we ALL are thrown into new battles. Granted, they might be easier for us simply due to the time spent playing this game and knowing how most mechanics work. It's still new duties. New duties you have to go through and learn in order to teach someone else said duty, or at the very least half ass guide them through it or flame them through it, whichever is preferred. So no, you do have to constantly keep up with all duties to keep the roulette. And I say this as someone who did in fact not do all current required duties for mentor roulette, despite having done so in the past. I can get access to this when I do the duties. Simple as that. Giving people free access to this diminishes the achievement tied to it.

Well, I am not asking for a shortcut into duties I haven't unlocked yet. I just wanna keep playing the duties I already unlocked in a roulette, which was perfectly fine some months ago, but now it isn't because they added X more duties to the total massive pool?
Why is it an issue to keep playing lvl1-90 mentor roulettes, it is not like they will be much easier or less time consuming. Why do I have to do the job quest, they don't unlock skills anymore anyway?
I guess it made sense when you only had lvl 60 with a smaller number of dungeons etc. but as the game becomes older you will get more and more people with different story progression.
Why would it diminish the achievement? Is a mentor who got 100 clears on lvl1-80 less valuable than a mentor who did lvl1-90? Not really huh.
I would also want to go directly savage instead of spoilering myself the fight in normal mode. It is just another one of these artificial limitations that you need to pass first.
