    It's just wrong that secondary character have such bonus which are showing in the rankings. If I would make a new character I could be the number in 1vs1 rank in Agathon in no time.... and that just with killing low level newbies lol
    I blast my all over 7 millions pts there. How about that ?
    Thanks for EDIT the ranks

    2 hours 2x 1vs1 0 times other arena called. Thanks ! Was nice to pvp with ya

    Sry but i have to disagree first thing i am not very certain you could be no1 in 1v1 if you wanted to and had high pvp character to boost the other one, cause it is hard work, and besides this is a reward for long time loyal players, those who play drakensang for a long time they are the once that really profit from this bonus, and they do deserve it.

    It is nice to get the bonus for your alts, but not nice to be passed on the leaderboards, as a veteran player, by a level 10 that is invincible in 1v1 vs noobs. The idea of it isn't bad, but the execution needs refinement. you shouldn't be able to climb past 45 marshals as a lvl 10-20, that just doesn't make sense in my opinion.

    The mentor bonus should only counts toward the fame tree and not pvp ranks. Some players even get up to 3000 fame per fight at low levels and make in weeks what others take months for. I think this should be look upon and a fairest playing ground would result.

    You do realize that he is number 11 on Agathon and has been playing forever... right? I have no doubt that, with the money he puts into this game, if he wanted to start a new toon and wanted to put the same sort of money into it as he has his main, he would indeed hold the No.1 1v1 spot.

    Actually he ranks in the top 10. I think the only reason why his rank has been slipping is because of the ELO system, it is really difficult for him to get a match because of his extremely high win rate. He is one of those persons on Agathon who everyone wants to group with. Some people are not interested in creating secondary characters. And it seems as if mentor bonus has gone a long way in helping to concretised the twinking system which has been disparaged a number of times on this board.

    To me the mentor bonus is the only real loyalty reward in this game. Besides most players are not like me with a lot of accounts so many toons that they can only do this for one or two toons without starting to dump some older well built favorite ones from their account.

    Also I have to admit that I stopped caring about leader board rank a long time ago. I have been #1 overall twice with two toons in the past (albeit the the last time was quite a while back when it was easier on Tegan.) I have played so many matches with so many toons it just doesn't matter to me what my toon's rank is.

    I know how good (or bad, lol) my toons are in the arena. I don't need a leader board to tell me that. I actually get more satisfaction out of giving the smackdown to some mentor bonus new toon that is way above me in the rankings with one of my old non-bonus toons :D

    For those real competitive types out there that rank is that important just give up your life to that toon, keep playing until those above you have lost interest and you will get there. Mentor bonus or not.

    Luck be with ye,

    So because you have been playing longtime 5vs5 and like it, you can take
    the 1vs1 ranking first place just like that with a new character just because you have been playing long time (5vs5). I have been playing the game quite long myself
    and that just makes my point. As a veteran player, even if created a new character I should not be bypass my field marshall(7,3million pts approx 10 000 battles) in 1vs1 ranking with a new character in 2 months. It's a completely joke. So please tell me, because I am very eager to hear. Why do they deserve it again ?
    Or remove the buffed character out of the rankings or idk... You should maybe delete whole score board, it's going to be broken guys unless you act now!

    My life wouldn't be enough, when other's with the bonus needs only 3rd/ life lol
    Somone is robbing my win, with mentor buff. While newbie arena calls 3 time in a minute I wait dearly with my high ELO rating and being a Field Marshall.
    I think the only issue is in 1vs1 ranking, since other rankings people have lots of points so it won't show. But if you make 10 millions in 1vs1.... well... You can't beat that without having mentor bonus yourself.

    It is not about winning or losing. it's about equality. If I clean a table I get 10 eurs.
    If you clean table you get 2 eurs. Fair ? not. It's not about cleaning tables either but I thought I would make a joke here lol

    I like the Mentor, but i do think it's unfair too lol. I got 1k honor points at level 27 for LOSING in 3v3, and i got 900 for winning in 1v1.

    It seems inequitable to me that a new character can come onto the scene and surpass someone who has been playing for a very long time. Why is the mentor bonus 3X normal. Why not 1.5X? Why do we even need a mentor bonus? Was it just because of the dwarves? Seems a little like overkill to me.

    Why mentor for fame anyways? Mentor should be 200% fr knowledge and experience not honors, or atleast 50% more honors only.

    Yes! The bonus itself is not a bad idea. But the bonus should only count as a
    for the fame tree and not at all to the score boards. When a level 35 rookie character bypasses my veteran field marshall in 1vs1 ranking having less than 2200 wins you guys have failed with the score boards. You guys need to get this fixed asap! In Agathon there are already 3 rookies in top14 in the 1vs1 score boards lmao

    Agreed. The system needs work. I don't play PvP very much, compared with most long-time players, but even I can see that the scoreboards become meaningless with this system in place. They might as well just turn off the scoreboards if they are going to keep the mentor system the way they have it now.
