Mentoring: perhaps we're better off without it

[Toguro]

So what? Should we be able to be a Mentor without Lv60 in each role? So when a new player wants help with Tam-Tara Deepcroft, you can't help because you're solely a DPS and and they need tanks and healers. Easy enough to have all the Jobs in that level range? Well, where do we cut this off then? Someone needs help with Lv50 content? What if someone needs help with The Vault? Lv60 is the most logical cut off for the requirement here, it means you've played the Job enough and can help with pretty much anything.

The mentoring only works for a new players' first 40 hours. Newbies wont be in anything lv50 or above.

The notion that something like Stone, Sky, Sea should be incorporated would, IMO, have a negative impact on the system.

I agree completely. There should be no endgame content tied to Beginner Mentoring ever. That would be for something like Level 60 Mentoring.

I also believe 1,000 dungeons/trials would be more suitable for Level 60 Mentoring and have Beginner Mentoring set at 300. A good number when you're talking about bone dry dungeons like 15-44 at least. Aurum Vale is a *bit* harder. But after 300 dungeons you should know.
