I couldnt agree more, and for those of you who just went "yeah, yeah, whatever" on reading Loser's post, think of it this way:
A person is much more likely to buy credits if they spend more time in Achaea. They are much more likely to spend the time in Achaea, spend the credits...even stay in Achaea, if they enjoy their early stages. And for a newbie this often means having all their questions answered, heing helped to learn to fight, being shown beastlords when they finish newbiehood, being taken rattng when as a really young newbie, etc etc.
So, for those people who mentor just for the credits....it's still in your best interests to put in a decent effort.
And also justa note to any newbies out their who dont think they have been getting the help they deserve.... tell someone. Complain. It has even happened oncce or twice that mentors have been changed for this very reason.
