    I've seen mentor/guide programs like this in other virtual worlds and they never worked the way they were meant to, they always ended up as a sort of VIP badge with these 'VIP' players forming their own 'VIP' cliques, nice idea in theory but the majority of people would abuse the hell out of this.

    Maybe make it specific to recruit a friend?

    This would solve nothing. If someone wants to be a "mentor" bad enough, they'd just recruit themselves.

    All in all, I like the idea. I've wanted to see something like this in an MMO for quite some time. Even if it might just end up abused, the good it can do will surely outweigh the bad.
