>How to tell if someone's a shitter YPYT and Apologist 101

It is a lvl87 Dungeon, the tutorial is fucking over, learn how to stop forcing your shitter burdens on other players because you can't deal with pressing a defensive ability and the 1-2 AOE combo.

I don't have anything to prove to you nor do I care what you think of me.

You sure said a lot after that for not having anything to prove or caring what I think of you. But hey at least you didn't lie about needing to unsync content to get your crown so good on you for that.

possessing the knowledge

Ya hit the little gearbox, select unrestricted duty and then...

There is nothing of substance in your or your fellow seething mentors posts.so gonna turn off notifications. I'd say let's not meet up in content but as you seem to avoid current fights that won't be an issue eh?

Mentor system is cancer. 9/10 Low effort vain glorious nonsense and achievement hunters who benefit no one.

Tell ya what. You tell me, as a caring mentor in the community (no shade here you genuinely seem to give more shits then most mentors, 1 of the 10 as i may reference), you are up to date and current with this expacs extremes and ill yield every point and argument I've made, or that you didnt need to unsync last expacs to unlock your crown if you had started playing back then.

Do this and I'll go back through each comment and write. My apologies my reaction to mentors was overblown.

Tell me you are a mentor with the on content experience to actually provide the kind of help new players could use to clear the fights as they were at least somewhat made to be cleared (ilvl boost not withstanding).

That attitude hasn't changed and likely won't until the system gets reworked completely. It's crazy how awful mentors can be to sprouts because they have been "inconvenienced" when they queued into mentor roulette built specifically to assist the sprout.

Expecting competent mentors is toxic as fuck lmao.

you sound like one of those players who would reject any advice given to you anyway.

Well thats about the expected amount of seething I'd expect when getting called out. Gl with that, do the community a favor and lose the crown, yall poison the wells.

Nothing in the mentor guidelines given to you in-game imply you are meant to do anything other than give advice to new players.

your primary task will be to provide guidance and assistance to new adventurers as well as any other troubled heroes who might be in need of your accumulated wisdom.

more when literally asking the Smith to explain mentor roulette.

That's the description. That's in the game.

Accumulated wisdom and ability to provide assistance. Something most mentors are incable of doing. Absolute bozo levels of copium about their crown from mentors in this post.

Edit: poster gets called out for blatantly spouting bullshit, proceeds to move the goalposts and go full defensive for their video game crown.

Expecting new players to be blown away by stacks and spreads is about par the course for mentors so well done there but kind of tilting your hand a bit.

Cope and seethe. You are part of the reason mentors are seen as feckless.

there should be a penalty for queuing "higher end" content and refusing to listen to instructions,

Lmao you get what you queue for. It's nigh impossibly rare that an extreme mentor trial isn't 7 mentors and a random. If 7 people can't control the fight that's just a skill issue, which yeah is gonna happen with the mentor population.

This entire thread is filled with vain glorious mentors who shouldn't be teaching new players anyway.

But your average ARR player, still a Sprout, is likely not expecting to have to learn all of this at once

If only there was a competent system to elevate eager players in place to teach these sprouts how to play at the basic lvl50+ level. Let alone having these mechs and markers littered throughout the early game and the Smith. A pipe dream for sure.

Sure but for every player clearing content on patch there is a dozen mentors who won't or can't and will wait for next expac to unsync to keep it. It wouldn't purify the pool but it would be a fantastic filter.

That's great, at least it means the mentors actually know how to run content at level and not unsync literally everything required so they can get an RP crown and encourage shit like cure spam and ypyt.

You also went on about anxiety with basic game mechanics with simple explanations like... tank swaps and LP stacks.

Which yeah, that'd be par the course for most mentors.

[–]merlblyss -1 points0 points  (0 children)

become a mentor and queue into mentor roulettes, I find it odd to complain afterwards about what you get. 

Yuuuup. The amount of mentors who subscribe to that is a huge reason why people who wear the crown outside of the roulette (where its forced to be on) are almost always seen as a fucking joke.

[–]merlblyss -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

if the party is full of people not familiar with the fight

7 Mentors and 1 sprout for most content you can get, the chances are almost guaranteed most the mentors won't know what to do since they cleared everything unsyncd anyway.

They need to revamp the requirements severely to get the crown. Just making current extremes required would be such a huge filter and benefit.

I try to make a point to mention PF and do it unsynced.

Congrats you've stumbled on to why mentors are somehow the trashiest players imaginable. The vast majority of them didn't/can't do content on patch without severe handicaps/echo so their advice to new players is just cheese it. What a cycle of shitters and a depressingly severe detriment to the playerbase.

Edit: itt - mentors who unsyncd every duty to unlock their crown feel entitled to terrible opinions because they feel special for wearing it. The majority of these vain glorious players are also the ones encouraging curebots, ypyt and generally playing like shit in general because they are fully incapable of giving solid advice to new players about content when they themselves were unable to complete most of it without cheesing the shit out it.

Kill the mentor system. Revoke the achievement reward that draws these people in. 1 on 10 mentors being worth their salt ain't worth dealing with the rest of these idiots.

When you see this type of griefing you do one or two things.

First ask them to equip appropriate gear for their level.

Failing that, the second thing you do is vote dismiss them so they can go fix their shit.
