This doesn't match my experience on Gilgamesh's NN. If anything Mentors are HARDER on other Mentors than they are on novices.

That's not to say that Mentors don't occasionally abuse their power - but when they do, it's to abuse other Mentors, not novices. I've seen several silly "kick wars" break out, in which Mentors kick each other until no one's left that's willing to kick anyone else. It's incredibly rare to see a Mentor actually kick a novice for a reason other than macro abuse, and each time I've seen that happen the novice in question was an incredible douchebag.

Kicks for macro usage do happen, as well, but are applied equally to Mentors and novices. To be fair, a novice is more likely to mess up a macro than a Mentor is, so they probably get hit harder with this, but the idea that a Mentor would hold back just because the one doing the macro is also a Mentor is outright laughable. If anything, they'd RELISH the opportunity!

Mentorship isn't a club or clique where the Mentors all cooperate with each other. Not by far.
