The restriction on needing all 3 areas of war at 60 has to be the biggest joke I've heard, not only does it blatantly tell people they're not good enough it's playing off a false sense of experience being level 60. But sadly, there are people on this website that defend this idea, these same people who are oblivious to the fact this website has a massive thread about the horrible player interactions they've experienced in the game at all levels possible in the duty finder. I seriously don't think I'll ever understand this community.

Instead of making this horrible idea horrible they could have done it so much better by paring players who pick the starter class for each job and pair them with it's respective job. So if you wanted to MNK you pick PUG you'd only be mentored by a MNK. Given you only have 40 hours to mentor this player they're not going to even fully grasp ALL 3 areas of war in this game by the time they get their 30 job. At that point the player being mentored should have been through enough dungeons and fates plus played the cross class requirement for the job to have a understanding on how the game is played at that particular time.
You see this system wrongly, it's not about learning everything of the class/job they took, but a general aspect of the game. Also, if we go by your rule, how will healers and tanks help new healers and tanks in dungeons? If you go in a dungeon as a heal, you cannot mentor another healer, since he's not there.

And I think that you need to know at-least the basics of every role, how could you function well in a group. A MNK having a tank that always moves must be so hateful right? But if that tank never played a DPS role, he cannot really know there are positionals, he doesn't know what pain it is if the tank always move.
