Tutoring...Does it work?

[Mechtek]

It appears that tutoring does not work at all. The new backpacks that were gifts to long time customers added +150 to tutoring. Obviously they are trying to promote the skill because nobody uses it. I believe they overlooked the main reason nobody uses it...IT DOESNT WORK. I have 426 tutoring and have tried to use the skill. You have to have the recipient join your team to use the skill on them and then you just target them and use the tutoring device. As long as they meet the requirements of the device, you will see them flash (as if just buffed) and you will notice that the skill on your side will be reduced slightly, but no increase will occur on the recipients side. I have sent several petitions with no response. Has anyone been able to get the devices to work?

Nope, can't get it to work. Getting same results as you. The tutoring bonus is so huge compared to others because there's no use for it. Guys at Funcom are really smart

It, umm, didn't occur to you that they might just be planning to finally get this implemented, and being in a nice mood, they implemented a way for many old players to avoid wasting a lot of IP they don't have in that skill.
(Okay.. it's faaaar, far out, I know. But hey - it could happen. )

Also, the backpacks have a nice story-linked explanation too, if you think of it.
Why shouldn't those old veterans be able to teach newcomers some of their knowledge and experience, accumulated from living on this planet for so long?

It is, to me, obvious that the tutoring will get implemented
SOMETIME... Then, I'd be glad to have this bag, to help my friends
gain knowledge. So, it might take some time, but when the
tutoring-skill DOES work, you'll be glad you have this bag.
