Mentors - What is expected really?

[Ramesses]

I have yet to meet a player that can impress me positively and is wearing the mentor crown. And I do use the PF quite a lot because...I'm a masochist, I guess.

In fact, most mentors I've met make me believe they don't even have any knowledge of what their job's rotation looks like.

Are you just looking to be impressed or looking for a reliable person for resource? Granted, there are mentors who are an embrassment to the title but its unfair to generalize all of them as being "unimpressive" because you have yet to meet one.

Thamorian coins it well enough in the above post... ultimately, mentors should have great attitudes, be knowledgable and above all be welcoming towards new players. Unfortunately, gil sellers and an influx of incredulously rude players from other MMOs have pushed the patience of the several great mentors to the limits; thus, reducing the number of mentors who actually exhibit mentorship.
