This thread is not showing an illustration, it's showing an illusion, a few loud mouths who complain loudly because they met one bad mentor who left an impression and their friends told them or they read that all mentors are bad, giving a magnifying effect...
^ Exactly this. Adding on to your point: Those few loudmouth people complaining are trying to push massive regulation change (more constraints) on all Mentors because of the negative actions of a small percentage of bad actors. In fact, people stopped wearing the crown because overall public image of Mentors was ruined, also by that small percentage of bad actors.

Almost NOBODY describes FF14 community as being full of toxic people. It's usually the contrary. Almost everyone in the game is patient and helps their fellow players. Some wear crowns and some don't. This "Bad Mentor" crap is not a widespread or major problem, otherwise FF14 would not have the aforementioned good reputation.
