The problem with the mentor system

[Ultimatecalibur]

I've also come up with a band-aid solution for this, which might fix this problem by a large margin: Change the icon to something neutral, not too appealing.
An idea for example might be glasses with a wood pointer/the corresponding icon for the mentoring part.
I've even made example pictures for this:
General Mentor:
PvE Mentor:
Trade Mentor:
PvP Mentor:

Now I 100% know, that SE will not use these icons I've made, of course, but these are only to show, how it could look like.

You are not alone, but glasses likely wouldn't work. A watering can has been suggested as a good alternate icon.

I'll give Dungeon/Trial or Raid advice if I see problems reoccurring. If I see someone make mistakes playing their Job I'll give advice. But the moment I get a response that says "Don't tell me how to play my job" I just let them make mistakes at that point.

More often than not you get the "Don't tell me how to play" response or you get absolutely nothing in return. Very rarely do you get a "Oh cool I didn't know that thanks!" reply.
