Mentoring: perhaps we're better off without it

You make good points

But the reason why I'm angry about the system is because of it being so flawed. While yes I can linkshell it up on my own and help people, I do that alot as is since my server is very much every player for themselves it seems which isnt good to start with. But now I run the risk of being "unknowing" because of a fault system that claims I'm not good enough at the time being to help new players because I didn't get my SCH to 60 and left it at 50. It's a system that can't be won and shouldn't have been implemented in this way. We all have seen players in the Duty Finder or even Party Finder that leave us scratching our heads as too how they have even leveled without knowing certain aspects of their class or in some cases being negligent with how they play. For that player to be negligent and have the option to mentor a new player is an alarm for me, granted I could get my SCH to 60 you're right, but that doesn't make my knowledge any less helpful. It's as if SE is looking down on people who have gotten a 60 in the trinity and placing them higher. Teachings shouldn't be measured in such trivial things such as levels, commendations and instances, but overall player success and helpfulness like you stated.

I do understand your frustration, I myself don't qualify for this system because I haven't gotten a tank to 60. But nothing stops you from doing so in the future, it's not something you can't meet the requirements for later. Take it slow, maybe level it up via the HW beast tribe quests since they level sync to your specific level, and you can have that scholar to 60 quicker than you might think.

I can get to 60 in a day on my SCH believe me it's no challenge. It's the principal that this content is giving people the idea that you need to be a 60 in disciple of war and magic to have even the basic understandings of the game. Which has been agreed on is completely false .
