Good idea, though in my case I was actually helping someone I didn't know! I'd been out doing hunting logs, noticed someone had just triggered the FATE at the Qiqirn camp near Highbridge which has a boss battle in it, so I went to help out. Ended up impressing a super-new conjurer who'd only been playing since the day before, and they asked if I could help them for a bit, so I put on my unofficial mentor-hat and followed them around Little Ala Mhigo and up to Haukke Manor.
(Saw them a week later and they were up to Lv60 while I'm still puttering along in the low 50s raising multiple classes and doing all the sidequests...)
