The problem with the mentor system

[MomomiMomi]

Mentors are worthless, regular players who want to help can do so and have no need for this little "special club" and chat channel that they can moderate. They aren't "elite". A mentor can do whatever they want, and never lose that status - I was told as much by the mentors in the Novice Network itself through whispers. I probably still have the screenshots.

They were never meant to be elite. They're just players who are making it known that they are willing to help others. That's it. The mentor system gives regular players who want to help greater tools with which to do so. It's working as intended.
