A Mentor System

The Mentor system in EQ2 was amazing. <3

Giving the player a 100% experience boost for dungeons and such was a really fun system.

I've always liked the mentor system, so much that I became a mentor in XI. I think the reason XIV doesn't already have this system is because XI was a far less intuitive game than FFXIV currently is. However, this doesn't mean that a mentor system couldn't be utilized in a more specific, specialized role in this game.
For example, what about having a mentor designation when creating a party in party finder? So the people interested in teaching or helping newer players through party/raid/endgame could easily connect with new players or players new to that particular content. Also, have the reverse option available, where a new player could put up a "seeking mentor" flag when using pf.

I'm not sure rewarding the mentor or the mentored beyond the help given/received is necessary or proper. Though I know other games have given XP boosts or things of that nature. By the same token, make it relatively simple for those that wish to help to obtain mentor status. For example, make the requirement that each mentor have completed all dungeons up to say, maybe Coil/Alexander style content? Maybe even a mentor commendation style system could have some application here?

Regardless, there are already tons of helpful, friendly and willing players out there that enjoy assisting any little sprout they come across(I'm one of these players) and whether SE implements an official system or not, mentoring newer players is as rewarding an experience as any other in this game.
