Default Re: mentoring in future game update

I dont just want to solo. I usually end up soloing because i got 3 kids and am an enterprise admin for a worldwide company = 24 hour on call pretty much.

If i can group and i have time.. i do.. same with raiding. If i know that i only have 30mins or so to play... i do solo quests or grey runs.

well, back the subject of the auto mentoring, I don't think that you should have to return to the NPC to unmentor, but I do think that they should restrict flag travel when automentored. They are adding missions in contested zones to kill nameds. You could set a flag right next to a named, call back, mentor, and take the flag to complete the quest with no effort. Even without quests, it is a huge opportunity for exploits for killing nameds for AA.

Quite honestly, mentoring is so broken at this point because a level 80 mentored down to a level 30 has the equivilent ability of a level 50. They need to increase the stat/gear/spell reduction dramatically.

People that give a shit about e-peen and item classifications can and should get bent.

Go fuck yourselves, really.

Most of you homos love to get raid geared to make group and solo shit that much easier.

Please, choke yourselves.

With the AA XP slider, I will be able to convert as much combat XP as I want to AA. Theoretically I should be able to start at level 40 at the top of Runnyeye and get to the bottom, having gained 5-6 AAs and not 1 level if I so choose.

Got kicked out of a raiding guild because you couldn't figure out basic steps like, stand in this spot and mash buttons I guess.

yeha i know peeps that did this..they were in ava gear though which was still pretty bad ass These players are fucking leet so it was no surprise they cleared it in EOF raid gear.

This has been said many times already, but you can say the same for this expac avatars..they were cleared before the raid zones..i do not think this was intended either.
