Curious, wondering how this works.
Up until level 20 it does, yes.
Quote:
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.
You teach nothing if you powerlevel someone up to 60
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".
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.
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.
