Why I will never offer mentorship again.

When I graduated, I decided I'd do something back for the community, and take on some disciples.

I decided on taking on maximum of 2-3 disciples, as this would be the maximum I felt I could give the attention required.

First few discovered this free game isn't free at all. Fair enough.

Some got to 70% before they quit.

Some kicked me as soon as someone came by offering them stuff.

It is these gifts/bribes that have done it for me.

I offer something far more valuable than the tt pistol and some guns... I have offered my time and effort. Yet, what do I get in return? Nothing. Often not even a thank you for the time spent doing tp-runs.

It is this attitude from newbies that really kills all motivation to do anyone at all anymore. The rotten apples spoiled the whole basket, indeed.

I hope some newbies will read this, and realize that

Your mentor is investing time and effort in you. This deserves your appreciation. Don't be ungratefull, but be kind to the one helping you. Don't be selfish, like so many others are.
