Mentor Changes - Why 1500 Comms?

[HyoMinPark]

There may be bad mentors, but how many people with mentor status don't know the full story of the Scholasticate missions? Why is everyone dressed as Harry Potter? Because it's a pop culture reference? Or is there some other lore reason behind that?

While I’m a big stickler for lore in this game, the mentor program deals more with combat, tradecraft, and fieldcraft. Lore knowledge isn’t a requirement, really.

1,500 may seem high, but the idea is for mentors to be seasoned players others can turn to for advice. I think the new requirements are fine—but I don’t oppose 1,000 comms being a standard either. Both work. 300 was just way too low.

Edit: I wonder if the requirement being 1,500 is because the game checks achievements for mentor status. The level 80 job quests, dungeon requirements, and commendation thresholds all have achievements tied to them, and the achievement system for comms goes: 10 > 100 > 300 > 500 > 1,500 > 3,000. So I’d wager that’s why they went with 1,500: system limitations.
