    This is called "depreciation." Depreciation is in your interest.
    I did not deny negative experiences happen, make sure you read thoroughly what I explained in my last post.

    "Hundreds of people" doesn't mean much when the game can have three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand (or even more sometimes, one ShB count was around 700,000) of active players playing the game at any given time going by previous census info. This game's active player count fluctuates a lot during the course of the patch cycles, but in general is a very populated game.

    To try to help you understand what I was trying to say originally...even if we take the lowest range of active players...100 players having negative experiences with the mentor system out of 300,000 total players is only 0.03% of the player base. This is a VERY small percentage of people apparently affected by the system in a wholly negative way, and it is only one side of the coin. We need more data on how much people receive good help from mentors and how many good mentors there are too to really figure out if the system should just be abolished.

    Depreciation is in my interest? This is a large incorrect assumption. You assume I personally care if the mentor system disappears. I kind of don't. It would not affect me in any way, but I am only one person, and I realize that others may be affected and lose the help they gain from the NN etc.

    I am simply trying to put forth logic into the situation and explain why people may counter your arguments. It is best not to assume that the sole reason I am countering your stance is because I don't want the mentor system deleted. You would be incorrect.
