I've already mentored Savage/EX. It's like mentoring anything else. Skill is also a spectrum, there is more than being perfect and not knowing what you're doing. Some players are OK, but just haven't tried the game's difficult content yet. You don't have to clear either. The goal would be to help players improve, even if it's a 2 hour wipe session.

Spouts also need to be redefined, as I feel it's a problem that a person can be a sprout with multiple level 80s. Being a sprout should END at level 50 or once you complete ARR, not once you complete SB.
I don't think there is anything wrong with a level 80 sprout. If you're new to level 80, you're new to level 80. Clearing level 50 doesn't mean that you understand normal raids (start at 60), it means you may not have ever heard of savage, it means your only Alliance raids are the level 50 ones that you can clear while AFK, you would only be familiar with poetics (and even then not necessarily, many level 50's in NN don't know how to best gear up) and not the current tomes and their caps, stats matter much less, etc. If someone is new to level 80 they should have that sprout icon because chances are they will show it.
