For the mere fact he kept her as a disciple for more than a year he deserves more than 2 stars imo.
What a shitty disciple! I can't believe it took you 8 years, and then you had the nerve to rate your mentor as 2 stars. Most likely you are a non depositor, meaning you are a non-contributor to the game. While this in itself is not a horrible thing, you are an ungrateful non-contributor. A depositor would not take 8 years to graduate, even if you only deposited maybe 20 bucks.
Like so many other shitty disciples, you most likely only play about once a week, on average, but you expect your mentor to be available 24-7 at your convenience. I have graduated dedicated non-depositors with zero ped in a month or less.
Even as a casual, you should still be able to progress faster than 8 years, but you probably didn't listen to your mentor's advice either. I hope they didn't give you free stuff.
grats !

One sided rating systems are unfair. Imagine a system where Disciples will also be rated by Mentors for balance.

Good points.Another thing to consider as well, the relationship between mentor & disciple continues after graduation.
I feel I got more help & advice from my old mentor after I graduated - sometimes you just don't know what you don't know & so do not know how to frame a question.
I was quite happy with my mentors help & advice - always freely & helpfully given
Just a note: The dialog the disciple sees at graduation time defaults to 3 stars, and if they merrily click it away, you get 3 stars. Broken.Definitely agree a system like this is needed. I once got burned by a Disciple - Spent a huge amount of time and effort (& some Ped) had them Graduate in approx 3 weeks, only to be rated 3 Stars because they thought it was funny.
Edit: Maybe ratings could be implemented into the existing Reputation System... Make it actually mean something.
Look, I gave the low rating, because honestly, the guy was NEVER online. For years. I took many many breaks, which id why it took me so long. But its not like my mentor was around anyhow. I checked every time I logged in, and it says he was offline +1 year. every time.
I play for a few weeks, then off for a few, sometimes months. But never let a year pass w/o even being online. He was gone for many many years. OK maybe I could have given a 3 at least. But, honestly, I dont think it even matters.
Yes, I was free to play for a long time as well, And I spend much time just socializing, traveling, exploring, sweating, etc.
I did not start doing long hunts, until recently.

Just my two cents here, but I think Ana's mentor's mistake was in not teaching her to accept guidance from other mentors besides her formal one. Assuming that real life exists, it's a given that over the course of months - let alone years - we'll all take breaks from this eccentric game, some of them quite long. And as far as the mechanics of mentoring go, all a mentor actually *has* to do is get the disciple the "Disciple Hunt" achievement and make some introductions. Yes, that's an extreme of laziness, but (a) without some contacts to fall back on when your mentor is offline, you're ****ed, and (b) .... it's not as extremely lazy as 19 out of 20 disciples.gratz for doing something in 8 years (and making a post for that) what others do in 8 days. i have instantly removed now my "good" disciples to avoid a 2 star Rating from any of them (maybe they will graduate too in 10 years or something - when i maybe died already) wtf is all to say about this!
