Genuine question for those upset with the new Mentor requirements

[AkaeiNox]

I'm probably one of the few that do enjoy answering questions/helping newer players being a mentor. Though I have come across some toxic mentors in my gaming experience. You don't have to have a crown to help people, I think people just forgot what it really means to be a mentor.

You don't even need the Novice Network too, even free trial characters can join your own LS. (Up to 128 persons and 64 for each crossworld linkshells)

That's why I think the mentor system is redundant.
