I don't know about y'all, but I have way more problems with people that refuse to listen to my advice after numerous deaths and/or complete wipes then I've ever had with fellow mentors.

As for the status symbol argument: I don't even have mentor roulette unlocked but I still wear the crown. Why? Because I like to help, can carry most things more often than not as an above-average healer, and typically know what I'm doing. I'm not going to write an essay spoiling an entire fight, of course, but if asked, I'm more than happy to mention the essentials in a sentence or two; it's just the right thing to do.
