That was used as a badge of honor, and no one gets it anymore. I just quit ffxi due to RL issues mixed with the community turning to crap.
No one I knew took that mentor thing seriously only complained about getting ask questions. And this was 5 years ago.
true story
Last time I needed help, I was lvling a low lvl whm and couldn't locate a bronze hammer. I asked my LS if anyone was heading to bastok soon. I got no replies.I waited about an hr and tried asking again.

I still got no replies. So I started to run my lvl 5 whm butt to bastok from Windurst. I ran all the way to south gustemberg and died by aggro I couldn't even see. My hp was in windust so I wasn't getting stuck in selbina as I only had about 800 gil. I asked for a raise or and then someone said "i'm busy". thats it.
