As interesting as this is, it is way too small of a sample size to draw a conclusion from. Commendations are very easy to obtain, I average 1 per run (I am at 1400/1800, but I mostly run expert with friends and did a lot of solo Ifrit farming for light)

Flaw: This is probably one of the dumbest restrictions they could've added. If I am a career Dragoon, why would I need to be a lv60 White Mage/Scholar/Astrologian AND a Lv60 Paladin/Warrior/Dark Knight to teach my Dragoon student how to Dragoon? You do not need lv60 everything to know "Basics". I can learn basics by getting lv15 or 30 of one of every role. If I am a mechanic.. and I want to teach a new recruit how to fix a car, why would I need to know how to fix a train and a plane to teach him? Or need to know how to fix a bus and a monster truck?
I agree and disagree. I think having one of each role at max level helps give you a holistic view of the party. It really does enlighten you to aspects of the job that you don't really get to understand from an outsiders perspective. That said, I think that someone could easily have every job at 60 and be a worse mentor than someone who plays a single job.

There are players who have joined since Heavensward, or maybe 3.1 who by now, know EXACTLY what to do with their jobs and maybe have even cleared hardcore raiding content, or all content possibly. But they cant be a mentor because they didn't clear 1,000 easy dungeons? I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people with 1,000 dungeons/trials completed have grinded for Zodiac Weapons and/or Tank mounts. Grinding Garuda (HM) and T4 unsynced makes a mentor? Why punish newer players who know their roles thoroughly because they have not grinded the same thing over and over? Grinding something like Ifrit (NM) is all some can do to participate in this nice new feature. I saw a couple on this very forum hoping it will get fixed.
I think it's an artificial placement to prevent people who have little experience from helping out with incorrect information.


I agree, the restrictions are pretty stupid, but I get why they made them. I'd have preferred it if they just had a test that you needed to complete, or maybe you can skip the above by answering a test?
