my cape is part of my underwear =/

And yes, I try to help out inexperienced players as long as they ask for it. I don't dole out advice anymore unless people ask for it, I've learned all too often (in RL and in game) that if you correct someone who is doing something wrong, you're more likely to offend them than anything else. My only problem with my policy is that sometimes people won't ask for advice, even if they want it.

I love playing with new people.

They're like blank slates so you can help them on the road to becoming a well-playing member of the community or help them on the road to becoming one of 'those guys' that you want to avoid.

Unless someone asks me directly though, I usually don't tell them specifically how to play. It's their $15/month so they're free to level/pvp/make builds how they want. But I also like teaching through example and the 15th time the new person's <Archtype> dies because they didn't let the Tank get aggro they usually learn to hold back aggro has been gathered, etc.
