I've been mentoring in Standard now since the mentoring system launched, and there's something we all need to consider as mentors.

If you're mentoring HDT, I'm assuming you probably have T2 weapons, or at least MUB T1. You've cleared these fights probably dozens of times. And now you're playing Standard difficulty, probably with 2 other people who are also strong and also know the fight. You're helping one person who hasn't cleared and maybe one other person who's still practicing in Standard. You tell yourself, "This is an easy fight, I've got it in the bag." And then you don't pay attention. You bait breaths wrong in HBH. You bait Mercury down to the middle or bottom of the screen in HMC. In HJP, you stand in the wrong spot and Jupiter spends all his time dashing back and forth across the map and lightning's going everywhere. And then you still win and everything is great. You probably lose a life at some point, or maybe one of the people you're supposed to be mentoring does, but it's still a clear and you got your mentoring wyrmite, so who cares? You already have your deathless clear and you know you can do the fight at harder difficulties, so everything is fine.

Except it's kind of not. One of the people you were carrying is at 5.5k might. Their first clear was very easy to find a group to help them, but they didn't really learn how to play the fight watching your sloppy bait. They lost their main chance at deathless/revive-less because an attack you can easily tank killed them, or because you died while not paying attention, and now it's 100x harder to find a room that will take them and let them play again; it's not like they're ready for Expert yet.

I know most of us mentors are just in it for the wyrmite. But the players we're helping will join our lobbies in Expert. Isn't it worthwhile to throw out a Look Out! sticker when we know a hard to dodge attack is coming? Isn't it worth paying just as much attention to baiting in the easy Standard clear as it is in higher stakes Expert clear? In my opinion, it's pretty rude to these new players to play sloppily and carry them while making mistakes that get them killed. I'm just suggesting here that maybe we as mentors can do a better job of actually trying to help, rather than looking at new players as $$ signs while we try to scrounge up enough wyrmite for another pull for a MH unit.
