Guild Wars 2

So I LOVE the idea of a mentoring bonus! I really enjoy helping new people learn how to play the game, and I also have many friends who also want to start playing. I really like this idea of having some kind of bonus for those doing it.

On the other hand I strongly believe that this will get nerfed for people abusing the tags and speed bonus, and the reporting flood that happens will not be sufficient to stop them.

But I LOVE this idea!!! It helps promote a positive community, and a way to get people who might get bored and leave before they make friends. I think the bonus needs to be rethinked, and needs to be a better reward for us vets, and less need for reporting.

The Idea:
Bonus XP and Karma while mentoring, given only when the mentor is higher level. (Not magic find because it would be exploited for farming.) Now that XP will matter for masteries, it would be an actual reward for us. A nice reward. It would also encourage us vets to go back to old areas to help newbies.

It doesn’t have to be a big bonus. Some examples could be:
+1% XP and Karma per player 5 levels lower than your level
+2% XP and Karma per player 10 levels lower than your level

That would still be exploited for farming, even more so because of the mastery system.

So your asking for rewards that will be used for farming instead of..

Speed boost only in none pve citys cant be used for farming.
Revive speed on everyone increased cant be used in farming but will make sure people start reviving the downed and dead more often, so no use in farming.
Crafting boost cant be used in farming but you will be able to level crafts faster removing materials from the economy instead of adding like farming would do.
Auto loot he only thing that can be used in farming but its just a quality of life feature.
