Experiment successful. Discovery is not a good place for newbies.

[Rodnas]

Well, it is easy for me to point at "Liberty" and say that the players there are lazy -as a Corsair i get to run into newbies 2 times a month and then i simply don't care to take my time and explain stuff for 30 min or more for each.

But if i had 3+ newbies a day they would simply eat up my "playing time" and i think that might be the case with players who would be very helpful normally, too - so you might pm "//dude, rule error here and there, bye" or simply hope that someone else takes a heart.
So i am not defending people who ignore newbies for whatever reason, newbies do need to feel welcome and integrated but i think it will be very very hard to change anything as there is quite some unfriendlyness and sub-communityism around ...aka "hatery and unfriendlyness is too cool to not do it"for too many players and as long as there is no sense of "we all play together for the greater fun for all" i think nothing will change
