    7 times out of 10, most mentors I come across literally only got it because they wanted a crown next to their name and don't have a single care towards new players or have any desire to teach or impart their knowledge and tactics of the game. Its especially prevalent at least in my experience in trial roulettes, mentors often end up being the one's who under-perform or afk in the fight or just do nothing at all. It really gives me the impression the gold crown inflates their ego and makes them think they are the elite of the elite so its up to us "lesser" players to do all the work in.

    Now I have met some very lovely mentors when I've been in roulettes with 2 green leafs and a mentor and it was a warming experience and delight to see them being genuinely helpful but those true mentors feel so far and few between.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again but the requirements to become a mentor are far too low and lenient and takes very little effort at all. There needs to be a feedback system for new the leafs so they can rate the Mentor out of 5 or something but like how when you send a report and a GM can look at what went on, they'll be able to check to see if the new leaves tried to abuse it and get a good mentor kicked out for the lols. (They'd also need to disable friends or pre-mades from rating in the same vein that commendations are done.)

    If a mentor is frequently getting low stars they could be suspended from being a mentor for maybe a week, then if they continue to fail as a mentor the punishment gets worse until they lose mentor rights for altogether.
