Toxic mentor.
So I'm fairly new to the game, Trying to learn tanking, leveling my alt job paladin to level 50, I was in a leveling roulette. There was 2 mentors.

Immediately as the dungeon started, one of the mentors, a healer (the toxic one), sprinted in front of me, pressuring me to rush and pull every mob, No surprise, I kept dying trying to keep up.
The mentor then proceeded to talk ♥♥♥♥ to me, when I tried to go in my own pace, they made fun of me telling me "Its okay, take your time, we have all 2024". keep in mind it only took us 15 minutes to beat the dungeon.

The second mentor in the lobby (DPS), who was a lot more helpful to me, actually told me what was wrong, one of the reasons was I was using the recommended gear button, which turns out is really bad for tanking, it tends to give you gear more suited for DPS, which would explain why I kept dying from pulls.

So thank you to the DPS actually being helpful to me and you actually deserve that crown.

If your'e just gonna talk ♥♥♥♥ to newer players, do the community a favor and don't be a mentor. If your goal is to make newer players quit the game, then its working. Honestly was planning to play lots this month but I lost interest.

Mentor system has good rewards, so most of them are doing it for that. This is unfortunately really, really common. Sorry you had that experience!

Well I guess the crown really doesn't mean anything then. Thanks for the info.

Please take the time to report them. You can find their name under Menu > Social > Contact List.

Sadly, it does not. Again, I'm really sorry you had this experience. There ARE nice mentors (as evidenced by said DPS), but from my perspective they seem rarer than the bad ones.

Lots of them get it because that's how you access the Novice Network, which is the only non-player-created global chat channel in the game. It's basically Barrens chat? So the people you get joining it are...the people who want Barrens chat.

It has the predictable result.

I do think that like Lapomu said, you should report that first one (the mods WILL take action), but only if it's not too irritating of a process for you. It's a drop in the bucket--getting one jerkface out of the pool is good, but there's 42 more sooooo.

Hold W,use your aoe and some mitigation skill once you cant move forward anymore, do you really need a mentor for that???

If its any consolation I wouldnt say anything mean to you in game and just leave taking the 30 min penalty over a slow pulling tank.

Report them.

They are not to behave like that and will get their mentor status removed from them for it.

To be quite honest, with how slow the skill creep is and you dieing to trash mobs, you probably haven't used your kit properly.

Wallpulls are a non-issue in literally every dungeon ever.

Don't save your cooldowns, rotate them appropriately to get the most use out of them. Use them before taking damage, not after. Don't hold your invuln for 25 years, use it when appropriate.

Wait for WHM holy stun to wear off before using cooldowns if your whitemage is using it, otherwise go with the flow.

if you are having this encounter often join a FC and play with them or use LFG for Roulette.

I have the crown and I usually hide it... but I also treat people the way I want to be treated.

In the thousands and thousands and thousands of hours I've done mentor roulette (even have 7k comms), not one person has actually asked me a question about the game. It's a defunct system that needs to be removed completely from the game. :cuphead:

I'm going to add something because I do have a bone to pick with players like you, not everything in this game needs to be 100% optimized, especially a leveling roulette that you unlock at level 16, you expect me to play at breakneck speed because you don't have the patience to play 5 extra minutes, you're just sucking the fun out of everything.
If you're playing end game content, then fair enough, I can understand you want a party that knows what they're doing, but a leveling roulette that unlocks at level 16? Really? Get off your high horse.

People act like that in game towards you, feel free to report them. Thankfully, those who can't handle sprouts being sprouts are the minority in the game. The general population really isn't like that.

The mentor system is scuffed. They'll let any idiot with a crafting macro be one.

Also sometimes y'all really do be slow and scared. Caution is one thing but there's no shame in wiping to learn your limits.

Trading mentors are not the issue. Combat mentors who spam mentor roulette just for the mount and also have the kind of attitude described in this thread are. If you're not willing to act like a human being, to help sprout clear content including extreme trials, don't queue mentor roulette.

As the tank, you're supposed to wall to wall pull these dungeons. If the healer lets you die, then it's their fault. Don't ever let them shame you for grabbing too spicy of a pull, because there's no such thing.

If the team gets aggro, as in directly targeted and not via "mechanics" then it's always the tank's fault. DPS should never pull aggro from a tank, in fact it's completely impossible if the tank does their job.

Low level tanks can be squishy depending on the class/level range, but the healer should be able to keep you alive. It's their job to know that they might have to work overtime on heals for low level tanks.

Also, if it's a new dungeon for you and you don't know the route (or you don't remember), say something, and someone will steer you in the right direction, but it's on you to communicate that. People are gonna get salty if you blind pull into wrong turn dead ends, and they'll assume you're trolling.
