    Duty Finder suggestion

    Why not add some sort of mentor system?

    Experienced players can check the "mentor" box and they will be matched up with inexperienced players in duty finder. There could also be a "normal" check box that would leave your DF as is (the default). So you could check one or both of the boxes.

    There could be two options for the inexperienced player as well - a "mentor assist" checkbox and a "normal" checkbox. They can pick whichever they feel like.

    There would need to be some requirements, like the player has to do the dungeon X amount of times to join the party as a mentor, or maybe even a level requirement.

    Of course, there would have to be an incentive, too. Maybe more tomes? Better drop rates? An increase in EXP?

    Also, it wouldn't even have to be called a 'mentor'. This is just a general idea so that there's less nerdrage when it comes to DF groups.

    In addition:

There could either be a limit to the number of times one could mentor weekly, or the more 'upvotes' they get from the players they are mentoring, the more rewards they get. This way, not just anyone would be getting the rewards. Rewards would go to people who are mentoring well in accordance to what other players are experiencing with that person.

    Rewards could be proportional to the number of upvotes they get from other players, and there could also be a reward cap at a certain amount of upvotes so the rewards don't get too crazy.

    Point is, if they do put a mentor system in, I'm sure caps will be put into place, much like the weekly mythology tome cap. I have faith that SE devs are smart enough to come up with a proper system so that players don't take as much advantage.
