Mentors - What is expected really?

[MeganLynn]

The mentor status is so easy to obtain that it actually means nothing. Actually...people with a mentor's crown are usually the worst players in the game.

No, it's people with this type of attitude that are the worse players in the game. I would take a mentor that doesn't know much but is willing to learn, over someone with this attitude.

A mentor shouldn't be willing to learn. He should be willing to mentor less experienced players and to do so, he should have some solid knowledge of the game. However, given how easy it is to become a mentor, many mentors are not competent enough to offer useful advice to sprouts.

Not a single one of the requirements to become a mentor has anything to do with skill or knowledge of the game. As of now, the mentor system is only a way to let people wear a shiny crown and to fill queues faster, placing a big fat carrot (the only 2-seater obtainable by playing the game) at the end of an excruciatingly time consuming grind (2k mentor roulettes)

To the OP: don't bother with the mentor system. If you feel like you can help a player, by all means do so. But realize that the mentor status means absolutely nothing.
