I wear the crown so I can be easily identified as someone new players can turn to for help, free low level HQ crafted gear if needed, and advice. That's what mentors are about, mentorship. the existance of mentors who are jerks does not change this.

Nothing more is required to be a mentor than to meet the 1000 dungeon requirement and 300 player comms (and class level reqs) and be willing to be a great nice person to newbies who always is helpful. and that is as it should be.
