Frustrated at the terrible skill level of players.

Sure, because every lvl 1 or lvl 10 player you see is a *new* player right...? As if you guys would even know the difference... (I know I can't tell that easily).

New players don't have veteran badges.

Fact is, the only events in game for constant on-going group activity are the Task Forces and the Mission Architect - and y'all are just more than happy to take a newbie on board who can pad your missions then drop 'em like hot cakes (I know I got asked several times last night to pad for Victory's TF night). And you can't even acknowledge the fact that you've actively contributed to the very problem you're complaining about now!

What proof do you have that the people who have posted here do that?

Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Half of you making the complaints are TF farmers who just can't be bothered; the other half I suspect went through their own "newbie" phase and how *quickly* you forget how we, the first generation of players, carried you along as we hooked you up and waited patiently for you to find your groove.

I've never been as downright obnoxious to new players as y'all are doing now just by listing your complaints out in this thread. Get over yourselves and give new players a chance.

Threads bemoaning new players like this are *much* much worse than anything Positron had to say about MA abuses and it works against everything the Devs do to solicit new players to try the game.

I'm not saying you're wrong for being frustrated, but I do think you're wrong for being uncooperative and airing dirty laundry like this.

Seriously, its just not cool.

I will give a level 10 new player a chance.

I will not give a level 50 new player who doesn't know how to use the tram or what enhancements do, a chance. Period.

Yeah i'll give 200K to a new lvl 1 player. Give them advice. Show them the ropes. Follow them around on a healer or buffing toon. Whatever, But i refuse to do that with a lvl 50 hero. I mean, it's just silly. Why would you wanna start a game at the end and expect to learn anything?

Well.. it's actually quite easy to tell which ones are the real new ones that are worth helping (giving them 100k, advice, etc..). If a level 1 with no vet badges asks where are the trams.. that's one that honestly knows nothing and needs help.

If a level 50 with 5 vet badges asks how to train to the next level.. do you think they're someone who honestly cares about learning how to play the game?

How is a lvl 50 with 5 vet badges a newbie?

This example that you're using goes against the original point that there's too many newbies PL'ing to 50 in a day's time.

If anything, I could say bemoan the TF farmers with X amount of vet badges who never play anything else *but* TF farms... they're just as bad, truth be told.
