New Mentor requirements

[Nedkel]

They should increase the duties done to 3000 or 2000.
But its still a good change, i dont have burger king crown on my own so whatever.

There is not much need for it, because to get 1,500 comms it is very likely you done the 3,000 duties anyway. (and now waiting for the dude that replies he get 3 comms per duty every time...)

...(Again, also a barrier to entry for new players.)...

Working as intended. A sprout mentoring you? You kidding, right?

Working as intended. A sprout mentoring you? You kidding, right?

Where, anywhere, did I say anything about a sprout mentoring? That's a confusing assumption.

SE has very carefully cultivated new players..... to the game..... which is business basics working as intended.

There are new players, sprouts, I have seen in chat actually stepping in and helping other sprouts with accurate, specific, helpful information and care.

THESE are the players that I believe will eventually be new mentors (after meeting required levels, etcetera). They already are helping, because that information and playing experiences at the level they are at is still fresh for them and they can appropriately apply it. I would welcome them to NN chat as part of the mentor team once they have gained levels and more game experience (just as the rest of us who mentor did.)

There are often jaded players who believe their opinions (often formed from unapplied theory-crafting) are actually fact and are relaying their opinions as "facts" to new players. And insist on it, making assumptions based totally on a raid mindset, without considering the context of the question being asked and who is asking it that often put the most erroneous answers into NN.

I would not just dismiss a sprout handing out info, just because they are a sprout, particularly those that go out of their way to help.

Those are the ones that are going to have a higher hurdle to overcome with that new arbitrarily high commendations number.

Specifically: barrier to entry (to being a mentor - a comment referencing a previous post.)
