Mentor Requirements

[GeminiReed]

I assumed mentors were around to help everyone. Not just sprouts. But apparently not.

Teach a man to fish and all that. There really needs to be a cutoff for hand holding. Extreme/savage/ultimate difficulty content requires prepared people if they don't know how acquire that knowledge then they aren't ready for that level of content. Throwing a mentor or two into the instance for 90 or 120 minutes isn't going to magically make it work.

Then Mentor Roulette, from your perspective, needs to axe Expert Roulettes/Extreme Trials. I’d honestly prefer for mentors to at least have a semi-decent grasp on their rotations. It would have also been very nice to actually ask a mentor about current tier Extremes before I hopped in. But because we ask the absolute bare minimum of them we have mentors whose knowledge is sorely limited. I’d prefer a system where the requirements are increased so that mentors stay relevant past lvl 70.

Pretty much why they should move away from commendations as a mentor requirement. All commendations prove is that you play a lot of tank/healer, not that you're actually knowledgeable about fights or different jobs/roles.
