1 Okay... so, when are people actually going to stop complaining about newbies that just started playing the game and do something about it? I get that there are a lot of guides and tutorials around here that help newer players understand the game better, but since when has anyone actually taken the time to read any of it before they jump straight into the game? 1 Okay... so, when are people actually going to stop complaining about newbies that just started playing the game and do something about it?

3 I know I didn't and I never did to be honest. People nowadays need to be fed their information instead of looking for it themselves. New players aren't that different. People constantly rage and yell at the newbs for not doing anything "useful". Rather than the veterans giving them instructive advice to those newer players that are willing, they simply argue and rage at them instead. That hurts the community growth, people. They will leave and not play again. 3 I know I didn't and I never did to be honest. People nowadays need to be fed their information instead of looking for it themselves.

5 Anyone that says they haven't raged or seen the rage towards the true newbies know they are lying. Countless times have I seen the rage from those I rather not name because then people will start calling me out on hating on others or some other weak reason like that. Why can't people just chill for a second and think? If this player that they're teamed up with is an actual newbie, then why not help them out with learning the game? It doesn't help if you SAY NOTHING NOW and then RAGE AT THEM LATER. I mean c'mon... If they choose to not listen despite anything you say, then fine, move on, but don't rage at them either. 5 Anyone that says they haven't raged or seen the rage towards the true newbies know they are lying.

7 I admit it is quite frustrating to deal with teammates that are incompetent which is why I prefer playing FFA. I last a lot longer in FFA than I do in Teams even if I'm being targeted from the start. I don't have to rely on others to achieve a win, but that's getting off topic. When people sit there and say nothing, even if it's for a quick second and then rage later, you should be blaming yourself rather than blaming others. Being on a team means to COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS TO WIN. If there is a newbie on the team, then start communicating with the newbie! He/she is not going to learn unless you try to show them the way. It's getting frustrating to see this community die slowly because people choose to go it alone or rather not try to communicate to help them learn. 7 I admit it is quite frustrating to deal with teammates that are incompetent which is why I prefer playing FFA.

9 This game has been dying off earlier than it usually has. I know everyone lives in different time zones and everything, but for me, I used to be able to see this game keep playing until 11pm at least. Now the game is desolate by 6pm or 7pm unless I and about 1-3 person(s) sit and wait for more players. If not, we play FFA anyways. The point is, we seem to be losing more players than we gain and even some of the veterans seem to have left or started playing a lot less than before. 9 This game has been dying off earlier than it usually has.

11 The point is... can't we try to improve our behavior towards the newbies that try to play this game? I mean, trashtalking like we would usually do seems fine til a point where it's just out of hand. It's just friendly banter and taunting. It keeps people interested and gives someone a goal to shut the other person up, but again, can't we just try to make the newbies feel more welcome here? We're already a small enough community as it is and the unnecessary hate and rage is only going to make it miniscule. 11 The point is... can't we try to improve our behavior towards the newbies that try to play this game?
