But it doesn't make sense for every 60 character to suddenly become a mentor though.

It is possible however. There are more requirements than just being level 60 (Complete 1,000 dungeons, raids, or trials, 300 player commendations, and having done 1 lvl60 dps, healer and tank quest) but the idea of being a mentor is simply to help newer players so technically they'd want as many people helping as possible (which is what a few of the roulettes used to be but they ended up just being used for grinding out tomes and such).

The limit you are thinking about however is for the mentor channel for chatting with new players...to which honestly is already filled with "mentors" arguing over healers dps, and which tank is the best in the game, instead of properly answering simple newbie questions (honestly why i stopped using it after 3 weeks. -__-) I will agree there will be more people doing mentor roulette and some will be for the mount mainly but I feel like that 1000/2000 mark may deter players who don't care about new players at all as that is quite a bit of dedication lol
