The problem with the mentor system

2. Focus on the number of completed dungeons for PVE mentors (2,000 dungeons, for example), completed role quests and completed relevant content.

Funny thing about this. I have over 300 days of playtime and have not done 2000 dungeons/trials. I do have 3300 commendations, though, so I guess I'm set for the next time they raise that, at least.

I have close to 650 days of playtime, 4000 commendations (I didn't do many dungeons with all pugs for most of 2.x, 3.x, or 4.x, and I leave immediately ) and almost 10000 instanced duties completed.

I definitely meet any requirements they can possibly have for mentor, yet, with the amount of times people have been unresponsive to even the most basic mechanic advice before a fight starts, I rarely offer advice anymore unless people actively use chat.

I don't think people will be scared away from an exclusive icon by 2000 dungeon runs.

I do not think that a book or a watering can will be as popular as a crown.

Getting mentor should be more about willingness to help and ability than just having enough time in the game.

I understand what you are talking about, and I agree, but we can’t verify this intention in any way. If only there was such an indicator, the world would be perfect.

Yep. As far as I know, when SE raised the number of recommendations, many lost their mentor status.

so if you meet so many people who deserve to be blacklisted, I think something is wrong about you and not the others.

Indeed. Every time when good people meet us, they turn into monsters for some reason. This is kinda dark ancient curse.

It sounds as strange as: "I was never beaten, and I did not contact the police. If you were beaten and you need to contact the police, then something is wrong with you".
