I do think taking on a mentor, or a mentor taking on a student, is a GREAT way for relationships to be made, for characters to meet other characters.
Erik was Roen's first mentor when she arrived to Ul'Dah looking to become a Sultansworn, and one of the first players I met when I started to RP in this game! While their stories eventually branched away from each other, as all students eventually leave their teachers to grow on their own, I have to thank Erik for helping me out regarding learning some of the new mechanics in this game (I was an FF newb) and through him I met many other lovely characters too (hi C, Siha, and Jace!) early.
Natalie and Gharen were also her mentors and needless to say, that has lead to so many interesting stories that are still going!
So yes, I wholeheartedly recommend players starting out, that mentorship is a great way to go.
