So, thank our community for turning a somewhat decent system of recognition into a hate show. It's almost as bad as politics in game, and you posting some sign in your yard that you are a Mentor, only to have this community take a virtual dump on your lawn.
Sorry to put you on blast, but this is Exhibit A about why the Mentor system is extremely flawed:

1. Mad they can't wear a "crown" to show they are a mentor because they get hate. Why is this a huge hindrance for helping others? You still have the "mentor" status, and having the crown does not stop you from helping others.

2. Literally admitted to griefing their parties because some people just can't figure it out fast enough. Guess they accidentally said the quiet part out loud here (incredibly toxic).

3. Instead of figuring out the boundaries of when and when not to help someone, they give up after a wall of text explaining an alliance raid gets shot down. Maybe some people want to go in blind? Maybe some people won't listen all the time? Sometimes you are gonna get shot down for advice. Take the hit and move on.


The above doesn't even take into account the requirements issue the mentor role lacks.
