Mentor program, wherefore art thou?

[ShinkuTachi]

Oooh, that's a good idea. And having it so that during the quiz, tabbing out of FFXIV ARR is considered forfeiting said quiz. This way we prevent people from just using wiki while taking the quiz. This may be a pipe dream, but I'm hoping someone from SE reads this thread; this needs to be done.

Agreed.

I mean, it may seem like some hoops to jump through, but being a mentor is a status symbol and it's something that requires a lot of patience. So, while I think it's a good idea, and I support it; I don't think it's something that should be handed out, like in FFXI. I say this for the same reasons voiced by a few of the other commentors.

If others just want to help people out of the goodness of their heart, that's fine, and they should do that. However, that is not equal to what's necessary to take up mentoring.

That's why I feel the requirements should be a bit rigorous.

Instead a quiz, or along with a quiz without attempting those restrictions. Adding in a series of instanced tests you can do to obtain mentor ship. Ones that will test your basic knowledge of the game where you do battles and then answer a few questions, after you beat it you earn a temporary Mentor badge. You would need to retake it later for re-certification.

The reason it shouldn't have those restrictions with tabbing out would be, those with smartphones/2nd laptop or pc can still look it up. Think of the exam as the SeeD exam from FFVIII.

This also an excellent idea. I love it ^_^
