make this a thing, it would be cute. we have sprouts, flowers... why not a watering can or a sun icon? it fits the theme.

You're completely right there will always be ppl that will abuse things for the rewards from it.

I say remove the rewards for being a mentor completely, also change the 'King crown' to a watering can to signify a mentor 'nurishing' sprouts.

I keep my mentor status turned off that way I can help ppl and mentor ppl without the toxicity towards the crown while still being able to see what's going on in the novice chat and answer questions there too.

:) sorry i hate when people spread this. when 99% of the time it is because "mentors" force feed people advice. rather then going "hey x, want tips?"

I always say "may I offer some advice?" Or something super neutral like "you might want to ____, because it will _____."

But thanks for assuming my tone or the way I approached it was the issue! I'm a pretty low key person and it's very hard to piss me off. Before I ever signed up as a mentor I was helping others out.

A certain percentage of the player base has been, and continues to be, super defensive and hostile toward the mildest advice no matter how it's put forward.

No. We already see some mentors using the system simply to gain achievement rewards. We don't need to give another tool for the general player base to abuse.

Mentor said something you don't like? Downvote!
Mentor provided good, but unwanted advice (use straight shot before your dots to help increase your DPS)? Downvote!

Yeah, I don't want to lose my mentor status for actually doing my job- helping people- and being lucky enough to get someone on a bad day and wanting to take it out on me. Western players are entirely too prideful and would rather bring an entire team down than to accept humility and improve.

Why stop at mentors? Let's extend this system to the entire playerbase. And if you get too many downvotes for any reason, you just get the ban hammer.
