I do not understand the reason for Trade Mentor

[MistakeNot]

They should have also made it where had to have all gathering and crafting jobs to level 80 and also done all the jobs quests for them plus done total 1500 of any type of collectables totaled up. They made it way to easy to be a trade mentor needs to have more of a challenge to it.

Why does it need to be difficult to become a Mentor?
Having done lots of stuff in the game does not mean someone will be any good as a mentor, and conversely someone not spending as much time in the game but paying lots of attention can be much more knowledgable and better at helping.

As it is the requirements of becoming a Mentor has very little to do with what a Mentor is supposed to be doing, other than making it more likely than not that they have some experience with the game.
