The Mentoring Requirements... *Rant Style*

[Judah_Brandt]

I agree I said exactly this repeatedly in this thread. That it would be way better to have it at 50.

The only way that Square can actively gauge the amount of time you put into the game with relative certainty is by assumptive minutes. Like, the amount of time it takes to complete a dungeon, the amount of time it takes to level to 60, the amount of time it takes to accrue the required commendations etc. They have all of these metrics. They couldn't base it off of play time, because the guy who logs in and sits in his tree house roleplaying an Ice Wizard could have logged 5000 hours.

It isn't an argument of whether the person at level 50 or level 60 know the same things, it is an argument of safe assumption that the player with the level 60 jobs has accrued more knowledge through playing longer. Whether that is a fact or not is irrelevant.

You keep beating this drum that you can know things without havng met these requirements. Sure you can. SE doesn't know that. They aren't going to administer some arbitrary field exam where you have to know which level what class learns Provoke (it's Gladiator level 22 I'm going to be such a good mentor).

You're on here begging to be validated for your knowledge in spite of the logical criteria that they are implementing, which honestly isn't even that exclusive. Just make a paper crown for yourself to wear until you earn the real one in game, and we're all good.
