The Mentoring Requirements... *Rant Style*

[Ehr]

I honestly think the requirements to become a mentor should have required an application system, but that would be way to much work for SE between all the servers. And I'm not being sarcastic. My biggest fear with this system are people who do meet the requirements but don't really actually know how to play the roles effectively and give inaccurate advice or harmful players who aren't interested in helping the new players and are just there for the achievements/rewards. As much as I think an application of sorts would be a very good thing for the mentor system it doesn't seem like a probable one given the amount of servers and size of the player base.

Your arguments lose a bit of weight with terms like "elitists", just saying. Hopefully, you'll get no achievements or physical rewards out of the mentor system. Perhaps like that, we'll only get people who truly wish to help, and not those with ulterior motives.

Should've worded it better, but I couldn't think of anything else. My word-choice has never been very good. I basically just meant players that aren't interested in helping and are only after rewards. Also this interview states that there are achievements tied to the mentor roulette, it's the third question. I really don't think it should have rewards either though, someone should be a mentor simply because they want to be one and to help newer players, they shouldn't need some title or achievement. But that's just my opinion.
