The requirements for mentoring in WoW is a little excessive

I went to look at the requirements for it and meet most of them but 3000 quests. like seriously. I been playing wow off and on since vanilla and find it stupid they require you to have soso stuff to be a mentor in wow. having 3k quests and a few other things they say you need is kinda blah. I mean what is it going to prove? absolutely nothing. I know someone who has been playing wow for the past several years from wod and up and they still don’t know much about wow but they are great at helping others.

I enjoy helping other players and love helping other players and will even give a care package if they are on the same realm with some bags, gold a few pets, but yet blizz requires each mentor to have so much achievements done before you can be a mentor. its kinda redundant.

Also I am tired of helping others who are on alts or alt accounts and lying about it then finding out later they actually have a main toon with better gear than me. I wish there was a way to find new players in game without having to be a mentor and do the mentor requirement crud.

If you have been playing since vanilla, which I doubt, having 3000 quests done should have been accomplished years ago lol.

the requirements are fine. IMO. very casual friendly.

3000k quests might need to be done on one character though?

all the other requirements are fairly easy for veteran players. they even lowered aotc down to lfr.

or you know, I stopped when panda came out and couldn’t access my old account because it was under my cousins name so I made a new account account under my name. hurdy dur. but believe whatever you want.

Ah, the ol’, “it was a different account” excuse. Either way, you still should have hit 3000 quests lol.

whatever troll.

Ouch, that hurt.

No really.

So it sounds like you just started playing as far as blizzard is concerned.

3k quests is pretty easy for anyone thats played more than a couple years and that’s their target.

I’ve got new toons with 3000 quests that’s the easiest requirement

Been back playing for about 8 months and didn’t really do many quests. I leveled through bg’s mostly and barely did quests or leveled through dungeons. Hadn’t played since a week when panda came out, stopped then.

Not sure I want OP to mentor anyone with that attitude… we got enough toxicity as it is. Get your requirements done and be nice to people.

idk what you’re talking about. I am not being mean to anyone or have an attitude towards anyone but those who are trying to start stuff with me. don’t try to turn this around on me when someone in the forums is starting stuff first.

See there’s your problem, you skipped out on one of the best expansions. I’m so sorry.

3000 is for babies :wink:

seriously though, sounds like a lot, but every time I’m playing an alt it’s like, bam, 500 quests achievement. The 100 one almost seems to happen instantaneously. They add up pretty quickly.

They focused on end game only. They need to open it up to those who focus on other areas of the game.

This.

3,000 quests is nothing. You get that passively leveling. I have alts that have that.

Sorry, but if your account is newer, your account is new.

Such as?

I have 5 characters with 3k quests done. One has less than 15 days played. All the rest are 2.5kish quests done.

How is this hard to achieve?

I have done Loremaster on several toons prior to it being shared. I used to raid but no longer do so. I have tons of experience that I would be willing to share but I don’t have some of the end game stuff. I have every class and every profession across my toons. But I can not mentor due to some of requirements. That is fine it’s their choice but I think they do the player base a disservice by not thinking “outside the raiding box”.

But it already is outside the raiding box. It has m+ and rated pvp requirements.

And you don’t even need to kill nzoth on heroic. Just do it on lfr, get 3 characters to 50 and then have 3000 quests done. Easiest way to get it.

Like you, I too enjoy helping new players. Our guild is open to new players and we often get people who haven’t played, or who are returning after a very long vacation from wow. Creating that type of environment in your guild means you’ll be helping people you know really need it.

The other way I help people is out in the open world. It is pretty easy to tell people who are unsure of what they need to do vs people who have played for a long time. I often ask people who seem to be struggling if they need help.

I do think that the requirements that blizzard has put into place are probably not the best for a mentorship program. I would think having someone with the Loremaster achievement would be much better mentor than having someone who bought an AOTC run or who spends their time running high level M+ keys. :woman_shrugging:
