thank you for Mentor system

[MilesSaintboroguh]

Kinda sucks that I'll need to farm commendations if I want to participate in this. I understand they need a benchmark but that's such an easily abused one - would've been better if they added a special trial in the training hall to gauge whether you're capable of teaching.

Unless you only joined the game within the past few months or the past year (or take a ton of breaks), there's no reason why you wouldn't have 300 commendations by now.

Excited to try it out at least, who knows how it will turn out but I like teaching new people

4-man/8-man pre-mades don't really result in commendations, surprisingly. :V

Well strictly speaking the system isn't designed for people focused on premade but instead people working with random other players.

I suspect the commendations are as much to show you can get along with others as it is to show you know what you are doing.

Why all of the trinity to 60 and not 2? Not everyone enjoys all of the aspects of the trinity. I know tanks who don't have DPS leveled or don't care to, same for healers and DPS... and these are people that have played for years, are knowledgeable, helpful, friendly.

I don't mind the duty or the comm requirements but the Job aspect makes no sense to me as it limits who can help new players in the mentor system. Just because I get tank to 60 doesn't mean I can offer a lick of advice to new tanks when I dislike playing the class nor do I care to retain information about it... Same could be said for all roles.

What if you just want to mentor for a specific role? I have all mage classes at 60, just about 1000 commendations, but I don't intend to level any tanks. Scholar is my main and I've played healers in MMOs extensively for over a decade, so therefore I would like to mentor new healers only. What can I do in this scenario?

I wonder about this too.. I do not plan on leveling a tank. and the only reason why I leveled my summoner was because it was easy to do as I was leveling my Scholar. All of my classes are healers basically. I would love to be able to teach newly healers what I know ;]

I don't think we'll get to. You can hunt down new players to help I guess but you won't be able to obtain the achievements...

This is silly honestly. I think you can still help people even if you don't have all of the trinity to 60.

"The mentor system is a system which will allow players to assist beginners. In order to become a mentor, players must earn specific achievements and talk to a specific NPC."

I would love to help as a mentor, but I RP my characters and have a tank char, a healer/caster char and a melee dps char. So I hope the mentor system will be player (account) based rather than character based?

I'm kinda confused

Instead of the above requirements, players can also become mentors by completing the following:

Have at least one class from both Disciples of Hand and Land at level 60.
Have crafted over 100 collectables.
Have gathered over 300 collectables.

So for people who don't have the 300 commendation, 1000 dungeon/trials done + 1 lv 60 in a Tank, dps, and healer then all one needs is to be after?

Not sure how an expert crafter is going to help ...
