The novice network needs reworked, and a way to rate mentors!

[Lexie]

although this character is not a mentor yet my other one is and after a situation I just encountered with people I once thought to be kind and friendly I was left aghast it was bad enough that I really do not want any further contact with them, it was embarrassing that here I was the only non mentor or sprout in the group and the only person who was willing to be patient and kind despite the errors made by both the mentors and sprouts. With people flying mentor banners like that it makes it seem like our gaming community to new players is quite the toxic one and most times that is not the case, but one situation like the one I encountered earlier on today could probably cause the player to stop playing completely because they were a new player new to the dungeon and quite a fast learner once we did something he learned it, but instead the two of them was just bashing him for his low dps non stop without offering anything constrictive to help him with it, and it made me angry that they could still have a crown to be considered mentors when they acted like that.
Ofc here are some suggestions I have maybe to help out the mentor system in its current state...
1. Remind people that parser are considered third party programs, and even just using them in game is indeed an actionable offense...
2. Remove the reward tier for going in as a mentor to a party, yes there will be less mentors out there that do not have it in them to do it if there is nothing in it for them but turning our community into a toxic one by rewarding the behavior like I saw today makes me feel like this is a necessary step, I will still become a mentor when I can and I know several other would as well to help the players learning how to play the game, whether there is anything in it for me or not it will make for a better community overall.
3. add a strike system where a sprout can report a mentor for inappropriate behavior honestly I think this will help the most a certain amount of strikes causes the person to permanently loose their mentor status or loose their ability to gain anything from the mentor system, or some type of repercussion that would help new players know that we do no want this community to become toxic.
