So, does Mentoring make you level faster?

Curious, wondering how this works.

Up until level 20 it does, yes.

When a new adventurer and a mentor form a party, they both receive a bonus to experience points earned from adventuring activities. This experience point bonus applies until level 20.

Bonuses to experience points earned will apply to the following:

Enemies defeated in the open world (leves, treasure hunts, etc.).
Enemies defeated in dungeons and guildhests.
Experience point rewards for completion of dungeons and guildhests.
Experience point rewards for completion of FATEs.

Grats on not wanting to give advice and just helping for the sake of helping.

I can Powerlevel someone to 20 in an hour, and teach them how to play the game. Didn't need a useless feature to do that. I thought this could at least powerlevel people to 60 easier.

You teach nothing if you powerlevel someone up to 60

Actually you teach them you can powerlevel them up to 60, because the game starts at 60, not 1-59.

Level faster? Check - bonus exp while under 20, and a ring from hall of novice for bonus exp under 30
Better players? Check - Actual people who play the classes helping newcomers learn rotations, skills and tips.
Better endgame community ? Maybe , if newcomers subscribe to the "pay it forward" mentality.

This mentor stuff could be a great thing, if the community uses it properly.
Needs less "whats in it for me".

then why do i have to lvl up if it doesn't start at lvl 1? also does that mean this wasn't a game till lvl 60 came out?

I think Nektulos-Tuor is the kind of player who needs to get a job and a life.

You could remove levels from the game completely and it wouldn't change much of anything since you need to do access quests to gain access to gear and dungeons.

Entirely false. You might feel that way, and I am assuming you're all about the end-game raiding with this mentality. Other people don't see it that way and there is a LOT of content between 1-59.

He's not entirely wrong. People could still teach players before the Senpai system. Now they just have a title and a special chat room and a lot of people becoming Senpais for the glamour. Granted it's not totally useless but still, don't expect it to bring sweeping improvements.

That content doesn't matter anymore because you replace the pieces in a matter of hours.

Now, if this was 1998 Everquest 1, where it took months and years to hit level cap and only a few people were max level. I would agree with you completely.

Totally, entirely gear-centric attitude. You miss the point entirely. Some people don't play the game to get the gear.

Seriously, don't bother. Tuor thinks he's God's gift to gaming, and he's always been a few sandwiches short of a picnic. I (unfortunately) have known him for many many years on EQ2.

Except the content gives you gear, what your arguing about. The quests, the content, all rewards you usually with gear.

Again, you miss the point, and I'm not going to labor on it any further.

You only play for the gear huh? Well ok then. That's you though. The rest of us play for our own reasons which is not all about gear.
