Mentor Requirements

[Seraphor]

Most of the time, you're given a slap on the wrist then sent on your way, and quite frankly if you can't act like a mentor in any given situation then you don't deserve the crown to be bluntly put.

Going back to the last statement, you have a crown, which makes you a beacon of advice for newer players and many intermediate players, so yes, mentors should be held to those standards moreso than other people if they are donning that crown. The sheer fact people treat it as a pretty little glamour system more than a genuine beacon of good advice for newer players makes my skin crawl, especially when those donning it tend to hold their fellow peers in utter contempt.

If you aren't prepared to be held accountable or be held to any standard whatsoever whilst using the crown, then all I can really suggest is going to- 'The Smith' then clicking on "Resign from being a mentor" - Because those that hold it as a status symbol more than anything else are largely to blame for the current state with which people view those as being a mentor. So, yeah, going to have to disagree here.

This is a game.
You are not on the SE payroll.
The Crown is literally a piece of glamour and that's never going to change. You're better off getting over it.

Yes, and those that take their mentorship as something genuine, and achievement, are lumped in the selfsame pile as those that view it as nothing and thus are treated as nothing more than a meme.

If you're going to tell me to "get over it" then all I can say in response to this is go find some other avenue to try and feel like a unique/special cub with the crown, one that doesn't misrepresent a genuine system or undermine those that see it as something genuine.
