This isn't a "OMFG NEWBIES BEHAVE" but a: Seasoned players chill out a bit.
I'm not a newbie, but one of my partners is a long time Fiesta online vet, WOW vet etc -- He just started a couple months ago, and is now ALMOST in mid Endwalker (first half).
For the most part, 7 times out of 10 - most people have been fairly chill. Mentors that sure aren't perfect, but a few that aren't perfect have at least attempted to be on their best behavior, and at least of course - mentor the sprout the best way they could.
Weirdly enough my minor complaint isn't with mentors - we know a few of you don't always respect the Mentor rules - and that's like normal for XIV... As a trade mentor i've even been ABUSED PERSONALLY over having a trade crown because of that (sadly).
It's with seasoned players that AREN'T a mentor.
And no, it's not even with tanks.
If you're a DPS with a new-ish tank that isn't as fast as you like, and your healer asks you to SLOW THE HECK DOWN? (And you're losing health faster than your fellow melee because you decided to tank the dungeon as a melee yourself?).
Please slow down.
Don't leave the dungeon, don't be rude - just slow down.
These are just story dungeons, this isn't savage content. Totally valid if you don't like him not pulling wall to wall, but thats him - he's getting used to the mechanics and will start pulling more when he's used to mechanics.
As someone who has been learning to tank themselves it's INCREDIBLY important we still give "STORY" space to those that are walking through things -- new jobs, new story - new content.
I mean granted I don't expect the same treatment as a sprout since I have a level 100 GNB and i'm 81 on WAR... But I admit i'm not a great tank, i'm a DPS main with a strong side heal game.
But dude, I request heavily: Please don't pull mobs before the tank unless you're going to BRING THEM TO THE TANK. I wasn't healing, this was Tower of Babil, and you literally in both sections before the first boss just sat there and pulled first.
Maybe you're an amazing viper, ninja whatever -i'm not knocking you.
But to whatever players still do this in story dungeons and then LEAVE after being politely told not to do the thing?
Don't do that LOL.
1. Tis just a game.
2. No i don't pay your sub, but I can promise you this isn't a knock on your job skills
3. Anyone who does this just don't.
Gentle reminder to the crystal player base: JUST CHILL it's just a story dungeon.
We're all level 100s grinding likely to get mentorship one way or another - You'll get there faster if we chill out and have fun while yes- taking the mechanics seriously...
but mechanics aren't "I'm the tank." when you're a Melee DPS. You ain't got enough mitigations to survive. Even as a SAM main, I know i don't.
