The Mentoring Requirements... *Rant Style*

[Whiteroom]

As a career healer I *could* level a tank and dps to 60 running fates and really not doing much with them, but why should I have to do that to mentor as a healer? They clearly have not given mentoring enough thought. Too many of their decisions are rather easy to pick apart as being flawed so it makes me wonder just what goes on in meetings sometimes.

I don't think its meant to be a 100% solution to weeding out bad mentors, however, it is a limiter. You will never solve the issue of bad mentors. Just because someone has cleared a lot as well doesn't mean that they are good teachers either. It's not meant to be perfect, just not totally without some limits.

The only issue with this is that it dramatically reduces the usability of the Mentor Roulette. One of the things the Mentor Roulette prioritizes is groups in need: either folks needing to clear something for the first time or groups that have lost members—if you need to clear a particular piece of content X number of times (where X is greater than 1, anyway—presumably, it won't put you in something you haven't cleared yourself) to be eligible for it, it reduces the number of mentors available that can fill the party slots for those groups. That would, I think, end up running counter to one of the main functions of the system. It's not just about helping people out, it's also about facilitating matchmaking for Duty Finder.

Then the mentor roulette could be more in depth could it not. Not just covering everything ever?
