Mentors...please!

[Zazay]

It is also quite contradictory to say that mentors are only out for the mount. If it really would be like that, then why do only around 1.3% active public characters have Astrope? (source: ffxivcollect) Given the many complaints about bad mentors and that they only do the roulette for the achievements, that percentage must be higher. There are tons of mentors out there, the majority even with deactivated crown, yet seeing Astrope is incredibly rare. I won't deny that people might rush for mentor status because of the NN, as it is considered as a general chat by many. I also won't debate that many probably like the name decoration. But saying mentors are only out for the achievements & loot must be not correct, otherwise I would see all the mentors out there riding that mount. Heck, I've seen even more TEA weapons around, and the savage community is considered 'small'.
