The Mentoring Requirements... *Rant Style*

[Odett]

I helped before before it was cool.

In all seriousness, I helped people in the past, so the mentor system will just make it easier for me to get paired up with people seeking help. Get cracking on the requirements if you really want to be an official mentor, but nothing should stop you from helping anyway. You'd think people wanting to be a mentor so badly would have tried the Leveling Roulette where most of the first timers are at, but alas...

I get what you mean, but (unless I misunderstood you) if you want to give out advice, it's a lot easier when you play with people that want advice. Queuing into leveling roulette and getting Qarn, for example, and telling the healer "hey, you don't have to heal me every time I fall under 90% HP. Feel free to DPS and heal me after I reach 50% or 40%", or the NIN "Your Kiss of the Wasp does more damage than Viper at this level because of your lv 35 trait", telling the DRG to use Heavy Thrust, or the BLM not to spam Fire 3, and so on sometimes doesn't end well if the advice is unsolicited due to some people being extremely defensive.
