Well, I see it like joining an FC. If your first one doesn't work out, I don't know any players at all who would just never join one again.

probably...although Id ont agree at all..Mentors can easely be set in the same category...to show off that they know everything and the rest is just dirt under their feet....you know the superiority complex
Nope this Mentoring is not a good idea whatsoever, this of course being my own interpreation of it.. Not to mention powerlevelling.at least to a certain level.. how is that going to help newby is beyond me
Since we don't have any real details on it, why just not try to see the positive side of it.
It's a good initiative from SE, and I'm totally up for it. I like to help (new) players, but not all of them want help.
This would be a great way to bring the ones that want to get help and those that want to help.
The best thing, to be sure for no abuse, is that there is no reward.
I actually hope this is server based tho, because then you can stay in touch with that person easily. In my FC I've got a couple of friends who want to sign for it and we thought of setting an LS with those players then. We shall see, next live letter/patch can't come soon enough.
They actually had this to say about “The Hall of the Novice” and “The Mentor System” features within the “Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVI Q&A Update Thread”:
Apparently they want to introduce a Mentor system for all available Disciples, including the Disciples of the Land and Hand. Hmmm, that’s interesting.
I'm quite aware. I just find it still lacking for those who really want to see their output and its dynamics. Knowing that you managed to get through something is still quite different than knowing what you did right and what you did wrong. The majority of any information actually useful for self-improvement... lies with the parser. All the more so as the dummy is better able to replicate real circumstances for convenient but realistic parses.
Finally! Somebody will give some real direction in this game. I just hit level 50 today. Thats 50 not 60; on my first character that I made back in February!
