Mentor needs to mean something again

But who else would we have to blame for all of our problems?

ITS YOUR FAULT MY CAR BROKE DOWN AND I DON'T EVEN OWN ONE. THAT'S YOUR FAULT TOO.

Mentor has, by design, never really meant anything.

It is, by design, never going to have a downvote option, or curation, or a test to entry. Its meant to show people who have some experience, not people who are any good at what they do. You can get a mentor crown being the best player in all 1500 dungeon runs you do, and you can get a crown being the absolute worst max level player who has made people hate every minute of the 1500 roulettes youve done.

I kinda use the mentor crown as a tool to know who to stay away from xD

Your first mistake was thinking the crown ever meant anything.

Was doing MSQ roulette yesterday and ended up in Castrum.

There was a mentor in the group that was clearly botting. I would love to believe that it was a compromised account but we all know better.

Great example you were setting for the 4 new players in that group, mentor. Hope the kick was worth it to you.

Regularly see mentors from my server botting, as well.

I wish I could kick them from NN but if the GMs/STF are too dense to actually tell whether or not they're botting (I've reported all of them multiple times with no results), it wouldn't accomplish anything.

The problem is there's next to no barrier of entry to mentor status. I say this as a mentor from day 1.
The next and equal problem is people expect more from a mentor when there's no obligation from them. They're glorified queue fillers and sometimes hopefully able to answer a question in NN. That's it.

It would be great if mentor status meant something. Not "again" but ever.

I sure do have loads of "smh mentors moments"

If they changed the crown to a watering can I've seen suggested here or a Sun icon you would see alot less mentors
