Lopdam, Let's consider the following situation.... a mentor of my size can also build dozens of Supernovas at any time..... sell them to a student with almost 0 points - and then get another 8 HC if the student reaches 25,000 static points as a result ..... the points are reached in one night - premium purchase with Ripper acceptance + Nova purchase.... done... 8 HC for the mentor..... but the player still can't do anything and hasn't learned anything the big problem - the apprentice's big ships are shot down..... and if he really wants to earn money as a mentor, it is his own secondary account that does the job and so leads to new sales of ships and resources to can offer with his mentors account... indeed there are mentors who rob their vassails - This strategy is not invented by me....
you can earn HC much more effectively by lying to students than collecting 1 HC for an honest answer...
In addition, there is the factor that students usually have questions for which they are not sufficiently developed - or ask about trivial matters that are actually of no use.... and without exception always because they do not pay attention to the m marketing strategy of this gamesystem. ..
....A noob is like a newborn crying for food and mom runs to the kitchen while the child falls on his face somewhere because he is reaching for something he didn't ask and will suffer so much pain...
Not because the noob is stupid, but only because he does not know what is really important and what is not important to know for his level of development.....
In fact, it's better for the noob to be treated like a newborn - take him by the hand to get him safely across the street and explain step-by-step the really important things rather than answering the kid's question "what kind of car is that is"....... and that is not worthwhile for any mentor, since here both monitoring and guidance would be necessary to train the noob to become an optimal fighter in this galaxy.....
in other words those mentors are more interesting to the student who genuinely want to help rather than gain from them..... so I'm asking you the same question as _KIM_.... which mentor would you recommend?
