    My only issue with the mentor system is running into mentors that don't know how to play their class or role properly. I see it mostly with tanks and sometimes with healers. Had a vault run with a warrior mentor who tried to tank in deliverance. He was decently geared and had his lore weapon, but I still managed to rip aggro from him just by spamming Death Blossom. Told him to switch to defiance and still ripped hate from him on every boss. Other times when I've been tanking, I'll get a healer mentor who waits until I'm at 15% hp to toss a heal or two my way. And I'm a decent tank. I use my CD's to the best of my ability. I'm cool with mentors who are silent and I can even forgive a dick head mentor if they at least do their job properly. But in my opinion, the standards for getting the crown are too lax. Just because you have 1000 comms doesn't mean you earned them from playing well. I get comms sometimes just because I'm the only one in the group who qued solo. And we all know that it's possible to get to 60 without knowing how to play the class. I think there should be a performance test before you get the crown to show that you are at least adequate at the jobs you play. I'm not saying you have to be the top dps, or prove that you dps while healing, or that you can stance dance. I'm saying you should have to prove that you can hold hate as a tank, or that you can heal and keep a tank sitting at a good amount of hp. Dps I don't care so much about, but if you que for tank or healer with the crown, I shouldn't have to get onto you about not performing at an adequate level.
