Despite being a mentor myself, I sort of regret being one just because of what the tag of mentor has become. It just has a bad reputation in general, although it may be justified on some servers it keeps me from wearing the crown and joining the NN channel. I've had the tag since it got released as I wanted to help the sprouts and I believe that this system would make it easier, it did and back then I was proud to be one of them. Now, however, the mentor name is just bad and I feel mostly ashamed because of it. I'd do the roulette on a daily basis back then, because I thought it'd make a slight difference, now I just couldn't care less about the roulette as I just don't want that crown next to my name.

Besides all of this, I am still helping sprouts on my server when I see some in need of help. The only thing I can get a chuckle out of, is that they keep telling me to become a mentor and are surprised when I tell them I already am.

All in all though, I'm still conflicted when it comes to giving up the mentor tag, despite not wanting to show it and not daring to go into the NN channel (because I am really afraid of what I will read and how many times I may facepalm), I still want to help the sprouts and I keep hoping for a change to the mentor system so I can one day wear it again when its bad name has been purged, if that will ever happen that is.

While I know that I don't need to be a mentor in order to help sprouts, I also want to sort of show that not all mentors are bad as I know that I am at least a decent player. But to get through the mindset of "mentors are bad" seems like an impossible task.
