FFXIV doesn't need a mentor system. Really, how many new subscribers are they getting that would need this feature? It's being added not as a benefit to new players but as more "content" for existing players. That is why the requirements are set as high as they are - keep those subscriptions sticky!
Ok, and why shouldn't this game have a mentor system? If the mentor system was only to "keep" veteran players around, then why are the rewards not given out at the same time to keep those players in? I'm also guessing the new content coming like more story content, more dungeons, and more Alexander raids weren't designed for veteran players either.
