I wish there was a giant sticky that said: the mentor system isn't what you think it is.

Just because you see someone with the crown does not mean the player's in it to help. Hell, I'd be a mentor just for the mount. It would not stop me from helping people who asks for help but I wouldn't join the system to be an actual mentor.

That's why the system doesn't work. It sends the wrong message. It gives the initial impression that anyone with the mentor tag is here to go above and beyond the call of duty. I'm sorry to say it just isn't.

As for the actual topic on hand, even if these people weren't mentors, they would still deserve the kick and report you gave them. Good job for sticking out for sprouts.
