Mentor minimum requirement is too low / needs adjustment

[Altena]

Well, it's 1 of each role at 60, plus 1000 instances complete, plus 300 commendations.

In my opinion, the role condition can stay. but the instances needs to be massively increases, maybe to the 5,000 mark when you get the Lifer II achievement. And commendations should be increased relatively high, either 1,000 or 500. 300 is a bit low.

Oh wait it already IS like that? And we still get players like this?

What in the seven hells?

How?


I honestly think some high-ish "logged in" time should also come into play.. I am also fine with the role condition - like I said in my OP, I don't specifically wish to become a mentor, as I try to give pointers to people who are obviously new with or without the mentor icon. I am all for more strict requirements than fewer. My point about me not being a mentor was more the fact that I consider myself quite a vet, yet someone who has no clue can be one.

Biggest issue is it counts unsynced duties, so you could spend all your time just unsyncing Ifrit NM and it would be fine.

Logged in time could work too, or work off time subbed too.

Ah right, that makes sense..

Hah, why not both? More restrictions are better than fewer at this point. 1 of each role, 1k unsynced duties (4 man or higher), 500 commendations, 100 (or 200?) days logged in, 6 (or 12?) months subscription time?

All of this sounds much nicer.

I'm at 372 days, but mine has very little "afk" time.

people would just leave the clients on 24/7 to meet a play time requirement.

That's fine provided the minimum is high enough. I do have a lot of afk time logged, however I believe it also rolled over from 1.0 as well. My playtime is very much inflated. Even if a lot of those hours are AFK time, that effectively means that people would have had to sub for that long.

Person does not have to be good at the job to level it to 60.

Well of course I know this, but this player just seemed extremely new. Just didn't know basic mechanics and didn't attempt to dodge (probably too focused on action bars or something).
