Mentor system needs an overhaul

[Penthea]

Unfortunately, a thread like this is only too common around here. I don't think the mentor system needs an overhaul, I think it needs to retired. Gotten rid of. It's a great idea in theory, but in practice.. not so much. It would just be healthier for the game as a whole, and better for new players as well.

I completely agree. The advice I give to any sprout who wants access to frequent help is to join an active fc welcoming to new players. You don't need a crown to be a good mentor.

The mentor system is a nice idea but it's ruined by those who are mentors for the wrong reasons. There is often far more quality control within fcs than there is in the NN chat. With no figure of authority to purge the bad eggs, NN frequently becomes useless at best.
