Problems that need to be fix for 5.X

3-> Fix the Mentor status, make something that gives proud for those using it and make it account wide. Also do something about Ex trials specially because now most of the ppl get the clear using unsync so they sometimes have no idea about the fight at all.

I think something should be done about mentor roulette in general, the amount of successes i've had when mentor roullete queues you into sync'd ex's can be counted on one hand, because the kind of person who queues via DF for those duties are generally not skilled enough to go blind into any ex content despite out gearing it, and no amount of mentoring can account for that (especially on EU when you factor in language barrier). And I get that the point of that roullete is to help people clear things and to teach people, but getting chucked into sephirot ex with a gaggle of sprouts isn't a learning environment, its a shit show.

They should probably make the mentorship system an opt in thing which pairs up newer players with a mentor if they choose to want one. Make it like a beacon that new players can toggle on when they unlock the duty finder and the mentor roullete throws you in with people with that beacon active, then once you meet the qualifications for mentorship (which should be raised), you have to apply, and there can only be a finite amount of mentors on any world at any one time, you get placed on a waiting list, and eventually you get given the status when room frees up, and then you have to keep doing the mentor roullete or you lose the crown and have to reapply and go back on the waiting list.

I think an infinite amount of mentors is fine (why limit them). However maybe have no "bonus" like the symbol by your name? Make mentor be something you can do if you want, but it doesn't give any benefits - which will keep alot of the trash out.

Removing all the crown icons and replacing them with watering cans will instantly fix a lot of the perceived mentor problems.

A watering can icon would actually make sense, considering the new player icon is a sprout.

Yeah I think putting a mount behind doing so many mentor roulette was probably a bad idea. Make it a volunteer thing with no reward. Well, maybe like, a good amount of tomes from mentor roulette but no unique rewards.

Been said quite a lot, the mount didn't exist when they added the roulette, almost no one ran the roulette for months, so they added the mount as an incentive so people run it. Mentor roulette is not a roulette that matches you with people who need learning, it's just a queue filler, it doesn't even prioritize duties with newbies.
