The Mentoring Requirements... *Rant Style*

[MeridaQ]

Again the thing to remember is the mentor system is simply there for new players to identify and connect with vets inclined to be helpful. Nothing is stopping anyone from helping now or after it is implemented. As for the community negativity, your community is what you make it. Your community are the people who stand by you, the joy you have with them will grow and you can be happy within your realm. If you want to spread that take action, I am starting the Intermediate Hall on Ultros tonight, to help people transition from 20-HW. The only requirement is the desire to help/learn. I welcome others to do the same on your respective servers.

That's everything right there. You can't go around saying in shout "Looking to help people please /shout or send /tell", "Anyone need help? Please /shout or send /tell". Out of all my time of playing I have never seen newbies go in chats and just ask for help. Not including hunts, events, etc. What I mean is I never see anyone ask for things like "How do I get a chocobo?" "How do I get a Grand Company?" "How do I <insert>" in /shout, /say, etc. But I see these questions tons of times in a day. Where? In my /fc chat. Where players in need can ask directly.

The people you say to look for and help are the ones preventing people from helping. The mentor system gives these players the option to talk directly to people that are there TO help them.
