It would also kill the cesspool that is a lot of novice networks and give new players less of a view into the culture that is online cliques. Even if this doesn't help the roulette, there are other reasons to get rid of mentors as they pertain to this game, at least more reasons than there are to keep it the same. Lastly I don't know why you keep bringing up people treating mentors badly, if you just want to be a normal player and not be asked for help just take your crown off?
I won’t speak for all servers, but for mine, our NN is actually very nice. Sprouts ask for help with queues or general questions, and they generally get answers to both. There’s a bit of memeing and it is like a general chat more times than not, but it still fulfills the purpose of asking questions and assisting baby players when said needs arise. However, I know this isn’t the case for all servers’ NNs—Cactuar’s has just always been very chill, but I think my server is chill in general. At least it’s always been in the 3.5 years I’ve been on it.

Yeah, basically this. It may remove the power-tripping aspect, but it won’t really stop people from being twats.
