New Mentor requirements

[Rasikko]

I disagree with increasing the commendation to 1,500. Say, someone is a DPS main. They enjoy being a DPS way more than healing and tanking, as required to maintain mentor ship status. It's generally not as easy nor in your favor, to attain commendations. Now, tie this into the requirement of running 1,000 instances. I've been playing FF14 since the beginning of this year and am just about to cross 400 instances ran. So, not only do you have to rack up 1,000 instances, which is already a really high standard for new mentors, you have to earn 1,500 commendations. I'm not home right now to see how many commendations I have but I guarantee I'm not even at 700 yet... Probably not even 600 either.

I would've agreed with 650 for commendations but again, the 1,000 instances is already a long venture that isn't something short like the Trade Mentor. If the argument is mentor ship is too easily achieved for "Burger King" / pedestal reasons, then PvE isn't the issue. It's already a long venture just getting the completed instances count alone and now the requirement is to get 1,500 commendations on top of it? I think that's overkill for PvE.

I strongly believe folks are misunderstanding how long it takes to complete the PvE requirements compared to a Trade Mentor.

So you do on average 44.4 instances per month. This means you'll have 528 for a full year next year. This year isn't over yet though, so (44 x 3) + 400 = 532.
You'd need just all of 2020 to get 1000. (I dropped decimals)

By comparison, I have 3500 instances over 6yrs, which is 583 instances per year, 48.1 instances per month. Though I've ran way more, I still need about 2 yrs to get over 1,000. It seems obvious that SE has set this requirement based on an average.

There are people with way more, but it will rack up from doing a ton of raiding.

The one that will really function as a brick wall is the comms, unless you play tank/healer.

I'm close to 9000 instances completed since launch.

5ish 2.0 relics completed will do that.
