They do raise the requirements for getting the status. What does know what they're doing supposed to mean? People should be able to make mistakes. They also might have outdated information as the mentor might not interact with something as often as others. I'm also a bit confused about your last statement. You can add all the requirements you want there are people who will go out of their way to jump through any hoops just so they can wear the crown. A crafting or PVP mentor might not be as knowledgeable as a PVE mentor. One person who might know how to say do a samurai's opener might not know the one for reaper. Same thing with a person who might know a semi failsafe 3 star crafting rotation might not remember the mechanics for Dun Scaith. Do I wish it could be better in NA/EU? Yes. Yet every server has their own NN community that may or may not be useful or friendly.
