While I am sure plenty of people would prefer to be courteous and polite..

Well, we all know there's plenty of games and communities outside of gaming as a whole that at as far from "polite" as theoretically possible. Not everyone that plays games are going to hold their tongue, if something upsets them and what upsets them can be a multitude of things varying from "understandable" to something so minute, so inconsequentially small, that the general populace would deem it stupid or idiotic to let it get under your skin.

FFXIV, while it does have its rougher sides sometimes, is more on the "understanding" and "polite" side of the spectrum. But that's not because our mentors are good or altruistic. In fact, most of the people that are nice and understanding to new players aren't even Mentors, nor do they have any motivation to BECOME Mentors, purely because of the stigma that surrounds that crown icon.

On Mateus (from personal view and experience, that is.) people ignore or shun Mentors, purely because the majority of them (again from experience) are egotistic and demand everything be done to THEIR specifications, or claim that everyone but them are insignificant and worthless, to the point of them leaving the duty. Unable to bring themselves to "Waste their time on newbs like us".

Giving help when its asked is all one can really do. If people don't ask for help, then don't shove it in their face. You don't need a crown to do that. But I can understand that not everyone plays games to help others out. Plenty play to vent their anger, to get away from stresses.
