    I was interested in Mentor but I have yet to have any real luck in completing them. All the ones I got were EX Primals and it was just wipe after wipe, not worth the pain to end up failing. I'll gladly answer questions but not something I will actively pursue.

    If you run 10 roulettes per day is little under a year that you will require to get a mount. Considering that it is a mount (two seats) we are talking seems to me reasonable. Is alot for those that want the mount right away.

    Also there is a trick in that sentence *complete* 2000 roulettes. If there are rage quiters, all they will do is make it worse on them to get the mount, since they left in the mid and didnt complete it (which seems right so).

    Those that are there for the mount probably shouldnt be mentoring. Mentoring is the main goal not the mount. True mentors want to help the community to better, anything aside is a bonus but not their main goal or shouldnt be...If you really are there for the mount well sorry to me you shouldnt wear a crown in the first place.

    10 runs a day is not reasonable at all, I think you're underestimating mentor roulette, you can spend the whole day getting nothing but extreme fights. You can be the best mentor in the world, but if the new people are unwilling to follow your advice, you can get max echo and run out of time and you're unlikely to clear at all.

    Unless you get lucky and get nothing but dungeons and hests for all 10 roulettes of the day, it will be far from reasonable.

    EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm not saying 10 roulettes a day is impossible, is very possible, but it's not reasonable, it ends up being the only thing you'd do every day, and only possible for people with too much free time.

    Then don't put such a cool mount as a reward :/
    I spend my time helping new players because i like it, even taking them to castrum / Prae with huby unsynch so they don't have to rush ans skip the CS but, as for SE, i'm not "qualified" enought to be a mentor, yet i see so many "mentors" ruin new player's game because they have to be fast....it's....well a little bit frustrating to know that they get a cool reward while being *** :/

This whole 'please don't say anything even slightly negative' mentality that we seem to be going towards and the devs seemingly pushing towards it is creating a disturbing trend.

    I am all for helping people learn but as I said when every instance I have ran is wipe after wipe with no progress only to find I wasted an hour or more getting no where either due to the person not listening, just discourages even trying for me.
