I always see this accusation and literally no one ever provides proof of it. Just once, I'd love to see someone show a mentor that has outright said, "I'm just here for the crown, screw ya'll newbs"

Even then, if you could actually find a single one, that doesn't justify outright despising the vast majority of mentors who do not have that attitude.
