I was a Mentor. Now I am just a Crafting Mentor because I don't have 1500 coms.

SE would grandfather in almost anything else but you don't grandfather us mentors. I am going to keep this short. You don't respect how much time and effort I have put into the game so far. You don't respect that I have been a mentor for over 2 years. Then you don't need my $30.00 a month. Maybe you will respect that.

What's wrong with crafting mentor...? If you don't meet the requirements of a battle mentor why should you be one...?

Why do you need so many retainers? And what for do you need burger crown icon? It was an icon of shame before.

And what for do you need burger crown icon? It was an icon of shame before.

Thats why i removed it quite a while ago. Mentorstatus does not have any positive meaning anymore, if it ever had one.

2 years of being a mentor and you couldnt gather 1.500 commendations? Sorry to be so blunt but that even if you put time and effort into this game, you might have put that into the wrong places if you wanted to be a mentor.
Being a mentor is not meant as reward, its meant as a sign of "Hey, this person has proven to be exceptional helpful and nice in the past and is willing to continue to do so" - and yes, commendations are given out for all number of reasons, but they're our best way of telling right now wether or not someone is acting in a way thats benefital to the community.

Eeh ... no it doesn't.
If you know how to play properly you rack up commendations w/o having to say much. I am at 2700 now.

None of the prerequisites actually demand communication with other players, which explains why many a troll runs around with the mentor crown.

Just saying 1500 comms are mostly a time sink and if people ran the 1000 dungeons via the roulette getting 1500 if not close while leveling a tank and healer should not take that much extra time.

[DumdogsWorld]

Wouldn't the logical answer be to just get more comms?

[Losara]

If you care so much about the mentor crown then you don't deserve to be a mentor. Most mentors help other players in-game without using the mentor crown at all usually because of the stigma it carries.

Help others for the sake of helping them, you don't need a crown icon to justify it.

Commendations come to those who go out of their way to help others or who perform well. Healing tends to be the best way to get commendations as you are literally the support for both the tank and the DPS and can prevent wipes.

I don't see how you're owed mentorship just because you subbed for two years.
