If you're a mentor for any reason other than for helping people, then you shouldn't be a mentor. That's why we already have so many terrible ones - because they want the mount and the crown.

I was going to say almost exactly this. If greater incentives will get more people to do mentor roulettes, all you're going to get is greedy, selfish people who want it for the rewards and not to just help people. There should be no loot or rewards for being a mentor honestly, except maybe a title or something. Most mentors can't even spell altruism, let alone know what it means.
I was going to say something similar, but reading through the OP's post... a Cracked Cluster, sure why not.
I don't think similar rewards to a regular dungeon/trial is too much, no one will do it just for the rewards when a Normal roulette wont chuck them into Titan EX or something. If you help others willingly you deserve a small "thank you". The biggest issue is the mount imo. There are definitely people who are basically using Mentor Roulette as a rare mount farm. I've heard people openly state "I want to unlock Mentor Roulette so I can get the mount".


I'm not so much against the cracked cluster, "adventurer in need" for trials does much of the same, doesn't it? I don't mind this because there are other ways to get the same items, which aren't all as time-consuming, so it's a good "thank you", as you said.I was going to say something similar, but reading through the OP's post... a Cracked Cluster, sure why not.

My problem comes, as mentioned, with the mount and the other items folks suggested - when this is the only Way To Get A Thing, then people will do it to Get A Thing, not to Do The Thing. And when The Thing requires patience, knowledge, and good sportsmanship to actually be successful and you're shoving folks into it who just want to Get A Thing, well...
You get the current mentor system.
No, not all mentors are bad. But not all mentors are good, either.
