The Mentoring Requirements... *Rant Style*

[Judah_Brandt]

You didn't answer me.

I will try again...How do any of the mechanics brought forth in HW endgame come into play in the first 40 hours of gameplay? Adding people to friends list and linkshell will occur regardless of the mentor system...so why should these mechanics matter for a mentor, specifically?

To be completely and objectively fair, I mean, a new player could ask questions regarding that particular subject. Especially if they're a new player with an MMO background. That's an extremely skewed case, most likely, but plausible nonetheless.

Honestly, though, you have to consider the metrics that they were capable of gauging. With the excessive nerfing of the experience required to get to level 50 in the first place, it is fair to say that someone could do it in a relatively short amount of time. There was a post of a guy with a sprout who had "The Final Witness" title, which means not only did he get to level 50, he got carried trough Coil in under 40 hours. Crazy, yes, but it happened. They probably have an excessive amount of data that they went off of in order to set these standard requirements. I doubt they just arbitrarily threw darts at a wheel and said how many classes to 60....it landed on three, so three!

They generally have a plan, however odd it may seem to us.
