Bad Mentors?

[bswpayton]

Again these mentor threads should say pve mentor cause it' alot of these mentor threads circling around. Craft mentor doesn't and should Mean be great at pve, nor does the single crown or pvp crown. Direct ur anger towards the right symbol

I don't do mentor roulette but I do help people. I teach specific fights, how to play this class (ones I know), suggest fastest way to gear, yadda yadda yadda. After reading threads like these though I haven't gotten my alt their crown. Seems like a bullseye. >_> I think mentors should have a bit of vetting, but also people should give them more slack. They are supposed (?) to be the best at everything, well they aren't they are players just like you and I.

If you think the crown is the problem because it is a status symbol then you should probably change the name "mentor" too. If the community is that threatened or egotistical than that is on us as players to change, not SE.

So... the crown is a status symbol to a bunch of folks that do not (or intend to) mentor others. Thats a fact. I don't give a flying hoot personally because I've been here since ARR release. But I do care about newbies getting a bad idea and leaving. So yeah, changing the icon to a watering can helps to get rid of some of that type while also being more intuitively paired with a sprout.

What's the problem? Am I missing it , because it looks like this is a win/win for a very small effort change.
