Mentor Status Requirements need to change

[GraceHorizon]

I honestly believe they need to change mentor requirements as well, but not in the way you're suggesting. The requirements should be -more- strict, not less. Mentors have an absolutely abhorrent reputation because the current requirements don't require you to really understand the game at all. Coms are dumped on you if you tank/heal or have a cute/sexy character portrait and just leveling jobs is meaningless. I've met a hilarious amount of players who have gotten absolutely awful advice from mentors. We need an actual vetting process.

I would support this. I don’t know what such a vetting process would look like, but we need mentors who both know how act as nurturing teachers to sprouts, and know how to play well. Leveling jobs and completing role quests don’t really mean anything in themselves, and getting 1500 commendations says that you’ve made a decent impression with a lot of people in the Duty Finder, but it doesn’t say you’re teacher material.
