Mentors are veteran players who chose to offer their time and experience to help guide new adventurers. To facilitate their assistance, mentors will gain access to a special chat channel as well as a means to easily register for duties and trials with new players.

As a mentor you are expected to actively perform the following:

Provide gameplay advice for new adventurers and other players.
Be an exemplar for player etiquette.
Invite new adventurers to the Novice Network and answer their queries in the chat channel.

I see nothing in there about carrying players who cheese ilvl restrictions by wearing Fending Gear on a BRD. If anything, removing the player actually followed rule number 2, by getting rid of a toxic player who did not wish to perform their role correctly.
