    XI had a mentoring program that in the end didn't really help. (I know since the mentors I got in XI were pretty much ignoring everyone all the time.) I'd be glad to help out, but.. we'd need to be careful.

    I think the best check on a tutor / mentor system is to make it one that gives no rewards for the mentors / tutors. That way is becomes volunteers who do it because they enjoy it - not to get the 'bonus items'.

    I'd be there, once my level of skill here got to where it's gotten in WoW or GW2 - I'd be there despite any lack of rewards, as I find it funner to work with people who are learning and enjoy seeing people overcome challenges.

    People who do it for the sake of the bonus items will be in one of two categories:

    1. They provide a surplus of people who actually try to be helpful, even if it's for selfish ends, which is... well, helpful.
    2. They fail to be helpful and can't get their items because nobody will vote for unhelpful twats who skip everything and don't help out.

    Problem will solve itself.

    I'm fine being rewarded for being helpful. Beats being helpful and then being called a suck nerd for standing up for people watching cutscenes.
