New Mentor requirements

[Galenini]

I'm sorry, but you're being WAAAAY too restrictive with just Mentor requirements. Doing something like that is more of a crown than anything. To be real with you, you shouldn't have to force people to become an Eorzeapedia just because Mentorship should be more restrictive; I want to say that the way Mentorship is currently separated by Trade Mentoros and Combat Mentors is fine. It allows diversity in the Mentor system, regardless of whether you want a Crafter or not instead of putting it under one giant banner that more or less focuses on Hardcore peeps. Generally I wouldn't mind if Raid Tier participation in Savage mode could potentially give Mentor, but then that'd be too easy to do or too hard to enter for most people, which is why SE defaulted to Commendations.

SE themselves needs to find a solution to the problem unless somebody here has a good idea to be discussed in regards to balancing the 1000 dungeons, Lv 80 on Tank/Healer/DPS, and 1 more that isn't Commendations.

Totally agree.

I wish there was some way to hand out "commendations" in Mentor chat, for this person was helpful (classic please answer our survey on the service we provided.) Might weed out those that never answer. But I can't think of a way to do that without it being abused.

What SE is looking for is: was this person helpful / skilled / friendly enough to become a mentor helping others.

Commendations don't specifically measure that anymore.

Unless they add a new category that is just designated for : I like how this person glamoured / other.

And let you have the option to hand out one of each in every dungeon.

I know there's something wrong with that.

Also: look at the reward for handing out 5 commendations per week. That's also part of the problem.


And so many times, the person I want to give the commendation to has quickly left the instance and I've missed my opportunity. Therefore, I hand none out, because I won't give them out arbitrarily.

Needs an overhaul. And if I had an answer, boy would I post it for people to take pot shots at (to test it.)
