The mentor system sucks, and here's how I would fix it.

I really don't understand this argument at all. A mount that will take ages to get and a set of four player statuses aren't much of an incentive to begin with.

Why do you need a mount for helping people in the first place? I personally just like helping people, I don't need to be rewarded for it. I also don't wear the crown as it seems to have a rather negative reputation in this game.
