guys ffs a mentor is there to answer questions sprouts have about the game. he is not an optimisation sss raider master with photographic memory that knows every job inside out and has 99 in fflogs.
the only requirement a mentor needs is being helpfull , knowing how to use google and having a decent idea of how a job plays like when asked about it .

Also the "novice network is a shitposting fest" thing . How often do you think sprouts ask questions? when a sprout asks, then people do indeed try to answer. when no sprouts asks stuff people are simply gonna talk . and some how alot call this shitposting . how is it any weird that when alot of people gather theyre gonna talk. do you think SE pays them to help?
the only thing mentors get as a reward is an if you help in 2000 random instances heres a mount and according to you the crown . the only time i watched a mentor glorifying the crown was in a youtube joke video.

Also you dont need to be a mentor to be helpfull if you want to be helpfull you just have to help.

So no i dont think that the mentor stuff are too lax wasnt then wont be now . at most the changes will remove the people who didnt feel like helping at all, werent kind to others and didnt play good as dps .

i personally am a mentor .when someone asks i try to help as much as my memory wills or i look up on google if the content is too hard for a new player. was in the novice network but some of the mentors were hypocritical saying too many mentors so i kick for nothing even talking while he talked french with his mates all the time and said nothing to french people and so i quit from there. I currently have 1451 commends ammassed by 2 + years of gameplay .
