Bad Mentors?

[Lufir]

There is a big push to get that damned crown icon removed because it is a status symbol. Changing it to a Watering can to match the new player Sprout would go leaps and bounds to correcting it. Accomplishes 2 things:

1. Great icon pairing that is intuitive for new players
2. Remove status symbol will bring REAL mentors and help keep our awesome newbie players!

If you think the crown is the problem because it is a status symbol then you should probably change the name "mentor" too. If the community is that threatened or egotistical than that is on us as players to change, not SE.

So... the crown is a status symbol to a bunch of folks that do not (or intend to) mentor others. Thats a fact. I don't give a flying hoot personally because I've been here since ARR release. But I do care about newbies getting a bad idea and leaving. So yeah, changing the icon to a watering can helps to get rid of some of that type while also being more intuitively paired with a sprout.

What's the problem? Am I missing it , because it looks like this is a win/win for a very small effort change.
