I'm just going to address this since the rest is your typical spiel of you being awesome and knowing everything.

Do you think SE cares if a large number of the population can't be mentors? Nope, not at all. Odds are the current people that already meet the criteria will be more than enough for all the new players we're getting. Like, we mentors probably outnumber new players several times over.

And another thing is that you're not looking at this from a design perspective, or even a talent-recruitment perspective. Yes, you and similarly talented players may be able to grasp the entire concept of roles without actually playing them, but without the actual job at 60 there is no way for the system to know you know. It is the same thing as looking for talent or getting new people for a job: You post requirements, and typically only very special cases get a pass without meeting these.

You might be an amazing teacher for example, but without anything that certifies it all you have is your word for it. Companies hiring teacher will simply tell you "Go get certified, you should have no trouble if you are as good as you say". This is the same concept. If you are the hotshot player that needs no experience to know the in's and out, well then what's stopping you? Go get the jobs at 60, it's not a hard requirement. SE isn't going to send a GM in person to quiz you on your knowledge of the jobs because you are a special snowflake.

Oh and another thing. You said several times that "You can grasp the fundamentals of jobs before level 40". Even if this was true (Not) North Than fate grind requires you to be at least around 40. So per your own argument, those people botting their way to 60 have "The same level of knowledge" that you claim to have. Your own arguments defeat themselves :/
