can benefit everyone if your in the same party with your mentor or soulmate give double xp for pve.
for pvp could give a small ap boost or buff.sorry for the english i'm very bad at it.

Sounds sort of like the Pledge of Mara, that can be found in the crownstore here.

no we shouldn't have mentors or soulmates

I don't like the mechanics bonus to it, it would just become a new must mechanic to buddy up with someone for the bonus.

If the idea is to mentor new players (as per the name) I would rather just see players step up and start academy guilds and sites to help train new players.

Soulmates is literally the pledge of Mara marriage buff.

yes we should have mentors and soulmates

The Mentor thingy is something I've seen being done on some browser-games. It basicly lets new people get assigned a mentor that teach them the basics of the game, and function as a help-desk / wikipedia of somesorts. Would love to see this get implemented.

This can happen without game buffs or forced mechanics.

If someone wants to help players, they just go to the new zones and offer a training guild (mentor 499 newbies at once) or answer questions/team up in zone chat.

This also means less ways for trolls to mess with the system or players who don't want to be part of it forced into it.

They have a really good mentor program in DOTA 2.

It's a rather complicated game and I had no clue how to play, but tried it one weekend and immediately someone offered to help and taught me quite a lot. They got some kind of reputation points or something.

I don't think there would be as many people doing this without the incentive and system that quickly pairs you with a mentor.

With this community though people will be "helping" just to get the incentives and not actually care if they help the player or not.

You're better letting people who are interested in helping approach it themselves rather than giving incentive for those who don't care about the outcome and just want their reward.

The incentive and reward for helping new players is the fact you helped someone (it's a good feeling) and making new friends and connections which could last longer than any reward.

I agree with this. ESO does not have the best community for a mentoring with incentives program.
