Stricter requirements for Mentors.

[Hasrat]

I'm on the other end. I don't quite understand why you need to have completed any end-game requirements to help and mentor players that won't be seeing any of that content for several months, if they're quick.

Once I pivot around to completing all of my Zodiac weapons, I'll have done, I think, pretty much everything ARR has to offer (aside from PVP). Why should I be disqualified from helping out new players which all start out in ARR?

I don't actually have any desire for the mentor crown. But, on some level, it does seem kinda strange to keep moving the requirements further and further from new players. Would be curious to know how many current mentors even remember their new player experience..

Cause sprout are considered sprout until the end of SHB. Tbh I kinda agree with OP that we need stricter requirement (Although the one op give are kinda ridiculous). I've seen a couple of mentor die repetitively on normal dungeon mechanic that weren't party wipe. From my experience on the NN whenever you ask something you often get false info or get tell to go check online. Hell, I've seen a mentor tell people to use Eureka to level their class from 60 to 70.

To be fair, even the best of mentors are never going to be perfect, and anyone who claims to be is a liar. We are all human, therefore imperfect. They could have been distracted or just having a bad day or run. Those things happen to everyone. It's also possible, and perhaps likely, that they aren't as skilled as other people (maybe they should be, but being a Mentor is about help and being polite about it, not always skill). Regardless, yeah, some people should not be mentors for many reasons, but not every mentor is going to be skilled in every capacity, and certainly not all the time. Their strengths might lie in knowledge, for example, instead of various pieces of content. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that people shouldn't always judge a mentor just because they had a bad dungeon/raid clear. Now if they were a jerk about it, sure, judge them all you like. lol That is something a mentor is not supposed to be.
