Very nice first story indeed.
I am just not too sure if the way of dumbest noob is a real way to approach it. Regarding the Mentor thing a "normal" noob would have asked "Whats a Mentor?" "What does he do?" and lot of more. Taking everything said as "valid" asks very much for a disappointing experience at least at some point?
But I must say it is very well possible I am overestimating newbies approach towards a game these days and comparing it to my own approaches. Think Yngwe from E.Z. is still thinking about some questions I confronted him with during my discipleship

.
To me a normal approach would have been "Hm, I need a Mentor? Ok, if I need one, I want to know whats it about."
Being a noob doesn't mean the total absence of common sense (but as I mentioned I could be mistaken, lol).
Very good, keep on!
