New Mentor requirements

[Galenini]

There isn't one. The mentor system is there to have basic questions answered while saving SE money (no need to add various tutorials) and the roulette is there to fill queues. If mentors are able to provide advice about rotations, answer more difficult questions or are able to comfortably complete all of the duties in the roulette, that's a bonus.

Having stricter requirements will add actual prestige to the icon and will have fewer bodies that can be pulled for the roulette.

Has anyone stopped to ask why mentors need to be more skilled or knowledgeable other than to have something else that can separate players based on skill level?

And this is where having 2 different mentor channels might be useful.

One for beginning game / returning players (with current requirements, including the lower / adequate commendations.)

And one for endgame (with stricter / higher requirements.)


I personally don't care about prestige or the roulette and am happy to help new and returning players.

There are others that obviously care about the roulette and may/may not care about prestige.

There are those who care about endgame.


- thinks out loud and considers those previous suggestions for two different channels.
