Problem: The Mentor requirements cater to players who have no business being Mentors.

You mean to say a newbie won't be able to tell if they've had questions answered, problems solved and advice given? You seem to be under the impression that most newbies are brain dead...

I think they're referring to newbies being given very inaccurate or bad advice in a nice/polite way. I've ran with DPS who chose not to use any DoT's "because they're a potency loss" and had some of their own math to back it up. A mentor like that can give very bad advice that sounds correct to a newbie.

Well this is something you'll get either way. At least a system like this would ensure you only have people that are TRYING to help as opposed to the current horde of people that have no intention of actually helping anyone. The point is we need a system that prioritizes helpful players in the channel. I'd rather a couple of players giving poor advice slipped through the net than have all the sprouts abandon the channel because it's entirely unhelpful to them.

What if you were required to clear certain tiers of the SSS dps checks before becoming a mentor?
