I will repeat myself, but i will do it regardless. First of all, people (most of them) who are mentors play the game, because it is a game. It should be fun. No one has any WHATSOEVER obligation to help anyone. Even you wear the majestic crown. I can have a bad day, i can feel sick or simply i may not feel like helping. I don't deserve to burn at the stick. I can't worry because i forgot to take off my crown because i am not in the mood of helping that day or just because i like the crown. That crown is a feature in the game, if you meet the requirements you can wear the crown even if you are closed to helping people. It is a game, you are allowed to play the way you want as long as no harm is being done to anyone. Secondly, mentors aren't gods (i accept some people can be cocky). But those people will always be that way even without being a mentor, that crown may boost their ego a bit but still people don't change by wearing a crown. Mentors are regular players who meet the requirements to help new players about the things i wrote above. They MAY give advices about the BASICS of the various gameplay features, but this doesn't mean they are top notch players. You can't expect them to give lv70 job rotations or savage tips or lv70 crafting & gathering tips to a player. Being lv70 is supposed to meant, you know the basics of the game. (Talking about for example being lv70 crafter or gatherer or DoW & DoM). If you are a lv70 crafter, you can't demand a crafter mentor to answer your questions. Sorry but, find your answers yourself at that point if you keep insisting mentors should help ANYONE in the game. Mentors have life too, they have a right to reject people if they are being unreasonable and they have no obligation to help. Everyone should play the game as they enjoy. Sometimes i help, sometimes i don't. It doesn't mean i am a bad mentor, it means i am probably tired or i see some buggy feeling about the person i don't help. Because simply, most of the time, people aren't open to get advices. ''you don't pay my sub, you egomaniac mentor'' etc. is the common response i get when i try to give advice most of the time, if the person isn't a sprout.

Anyways, i just think system is oki. People expect way too much of mentors. Mentors can be bad players too, you only need 1 dps 1 healer 1 tank so you are allowed to mess up your other dps rotations or kill tank because you are not accustomed to other healing job, or simply lose aggro because you are not comfortable being a tank. This is a game, and you are playing with other people. People have rights to be sad, angry, tired, sleepy, sick etc.

Again, mentors are players who are not new to the game. Nothing more in my opinion.
