Mentor failed me, lost me PEDs doing what he said would work then when it failed, he unmentored and unfriended me after I brought up how now I have less then I did when I started.
I was a mining player two years ago (played for a week), finally back first time today. Was talking on novice chat, the player "brandon Sweetlife maynard" told me a few friendly gaming advice and then reteach me the basics. Terminals, what tools do what, etc. Then something popped on screen, it was a mentorship thing. I accepted, thinking he was pretty helpful. I told him I had no PEDS and 100 probes and rookie mining tools in my inventory from when I quit. He said it was no biggie, and flew me around to "good spots" to mine. 20 probes per drop, 5 drop and all misses. Didn't get anything.
He then said sell your stuff, noob gun, clothes, basic noob gear armor I had on (with no pants oddly enough). Told him sounded risky, and "what if I don't get anything?", he assured me we will get something. Took that roughly 18 PED and bought more probes, we did the same thing and in return got only 11 PED worth of mineral back.
The final half of the chat (as far as it would let me scroll back) after the fail mining trip he took me on is screenshoted. We were still friendly, and I thought we were, as we were still talking.
I'm not upset about losing all my PEDs and am now broke with only 11 PED worth of mineral. I just don't want anyone else accepting "brandon Sweetlife maynard" as their mentor to avoid the same unfortunate event.
He was my mentor, and I did what he said cause he sounded like he knew what he was talking about. My fault for thinking so and doing what he said, and Unforunate he abandoned ship after I went essentially broke.
******TLR******* Bad mentor, I'm not too worried about it. Just don't want anyone else getting this guy as their mentor.

P.S. Last LINK. When someone removes you from their friendlist, the system will say that you removed them even though you didn't. I Tested it with another player just to make sure.
