Stricter requirements for Mentors.

[DeNada]

There should be a written test when mentors apply for the certification where they are tested on job and dungeons/trials/raid mechanics.

Example: 1) What is the general opener for a 'insert job here' and what are the more niche openers and describe what kind of situations would you prefer the niche compared to general opener. 2) Describe the mechanics which you encounter in 'insert dungeon/trial/raid' here and explain how you would resolve such mechanics.

In addition to the written test, all would be mentors have to clear all current savage raids and extreme trials to prove that they are decent at the game (I'll exclude ultimates as that might narrow down the potential applicants too much)

As for trade mentors, it's a joke and should be completely removed.

Why would most sprouts, under level 80, care about the proper opener for a savage tier level 90 fight, that sometimes contains abilities they don't even have?

Can you justify what this is on your list, as example question 1, when it would serve no use for actual sprouts?

A test for every jobs? I'm already cringing by just imagining what sort of tests SE designing for the green jobs.

This one here, I can agree. They're more than not are used as an easy card to re-access NN.

No. None of those things would make for better mentors. You don't need to be great at playing the game to be a good mentor. You need some overall knowledge of the game, and a willingness to help. The second part being by far the most important.
