thank you for Mentor system

yea i recall them saying they planned more GC ranks for 2.35. Never happened.

Eh, I'm glad we never got new Ranks in 2.x. That Elite gear from Hunts was clearly slated for the new Ranks, and while I loath Hunts, I'm glad it delayed new Ranks.

I mean, what would new Ranks have actually added to the game? We'd have the same dull "Grind 30,000 GC Seals" quest to reach the new cap and then we'd be done. Snore.

I want new Ranks as much as the next person, but I want new Ranks to mean something. I want them to have some kind of event attached to them (Hamlet Defense? Please?). I want them to put effort into crafting a story around the new Ranks. At least half of that is at least what they've since said they're planning for new Ranks, so yeah, glad they waited.

Why would locking it behind level 60 be a bad implementation, when it is clearly the only one that makes sense for the Job. There are poor lvl 60 players as well, unfortunately. You realize that, right? One can only hope jt does more harm than good lol.

How is it the only one that makes sense? Commendations makes perfect sense, that's a measure of not only how long you've been playing, but how helpful you are in general, for the most part at least. Terrible people tend not to get Commendations, granted Tanks and Healers can be mute and rake them in, but it's better than just going "You got Lv60! That means you can be a Mentor!", despite being Lv60 meaning absolutely nothing. Likewise, they can add new Achievements, if the Training Hall can test how good you are at your Job, and they can tag an Achievement onto that, then that's pretty much the perfect option.
