OMG I witnessed in NN a returner complaining about positionals, when a mentor proceed to tell them that positionals aren't even necessary. They went into how you do what you want to have fun, don't don't even worry about positionals, because the damage is basically negligible. I mentioned how that would not work out too well for them in an EX or any end game content, and got called an elitist for it lol. Its common sense I would think. You know, to try to do as much damage as you can, so the rest of your party isn't carrying you, if you manage to clear. I worry for the future of this game with this kind of mentality being pushed.

First I'd change pretentious icon from a crown to something less obnoxious maybe that'll drive out some of the shitty mentors. But lets start with that :)

Game exam wouldn't be a bad idea, ultimate clears are overkill.

Do away with the mount reward. That's a key problem.

Nobody certifies that the photos or videos they make are yours, you can ask others to play for you. People who buy Ultimates kills in PF lend their accounts to experienced players.

I feel like making it required to actually have cleared all of the duties needed to use Mentor Roulette to become a combat mentor in the first place would do a good job of thinning out the "bad" mentors.

Well account sharing is against the tos. So ban people who buy ultimate kills?

I was able to unlock mentor roulette with a previous character, and I'm not someone who are into those kinds of contents personally, so I don't think that would do anything, unless mentor roulette requirement has changed since last I dealt with mentor roulette. (I want to say around the year 2018, haven't been a mentor with any other character since.)

Lately I see FCs taking over where the NN has failed. There are some FCs on various servers that specifically seek out and take in new players and show them the ropes.
