Please change the requirements to become mentor

I'm not a dork why wouldn't I give that person the rating he/she deserves?

I appreciate that you would rate people properly. But not everyone will, and you can’t really expect everyone in DF to behave as you do.

The amount of trolling/bad behavior that already goes on is already bad enough (example: a post on Reddit made recently that involved someone calling a tank garbage—though, they used far more colorful language—in PotD, when the tank said it was their first time). Implementing a rating system—be it 1 star to 5 stars, or bronze > silver > gold > platinum—would just be a recipe for disaster because, I think, more times than not, people will use it to troll or retaliate against someone they dislike, or who isn’t playing to their “standards”.

To use a more “positive” scenario, what if people gave ratings like they do commendations? “I like that person’s glamour, so I will give them 5 stars” or “That person said something funny in chat; I will give them 5 stars”. Very lovely things for people to do, but that doesn’t reflect on the mentor’s gameplay, or mentor capabilities.

Since commendations are so subjective, so would a rating system like you have described. Many people don’t even comm “the best” player in a duty, but for other reasons.
