Is it time to expand Novice Network?

Title basically, i've noticed with the influx of new players even the sprout side of things tends to reach capacity. Especially with the new trial expanding into heavensward, do you think it might be time to expand the capacity of NN? An alternative would be to simply add additional channels to it seperately populated by another 100 mentors/412 sprouts.

Only happens at peak times, but being at least my servers only source of global social activity and questions/advice, i imagine it could mean sprouts missing out and never knowing about it, while we're at it, why are sprouts not automatically put into novice network anyway?

I wish they'd also increase the mentor limit because most of 100 spaces available are generally being occupied by trade mentors who just wanted an easy crown to decorate their names with and aren't actually interested in being helpful (Assuming they're even aware they're taking up space in the first place).

The only alteration to the mentor program that I'd really endorse would be its deletion.
