There is one glaring problem with the overarching mentality.
Helping newbies is one thing. It feels good for a new member to know that they can get help ingame and that Disco is a place where you can PM anyone ingame about a game related question and they will help you. Unlike other games where the only reply you get is a reference about your mother.
Anyone can help newbies, that is true. But not everyone can tutor them. I would never trust anyone but a specifically picked person to interact with newbies on a regular basis and introduce them to the game. Only because it is so goddamn easy to screw up and give the wrong impression. I used to do a lot of video-tutorials a few years back and one of the biggest problems I came across was accidentally misinforming a potential new player on how things work ingame, especially when it comes to interaction between players. Most new players do not think that if they are given suggestions or are given replies to their answers, they need to treat all information that comes from non-staff members with a pinch of salt. That the person giving you the information can be biased or mistaken or outright wrong. Or in even worse cases - deliberately misinforming you.
This is what I mean when I say that I do not want Jonnywalker to be constantly interacting with newbies. But that being said, I would not allow any one single person who has not been approved by the staff to interact with new players and tutor them. The Angels as they are right now offer at least some quality control as to who gets to be the go-to guy for new players, but even that is a stretch.
Sadly, I do not see a fix to this either. There is no way we can simply choose who is in the right and gets to help anyone. People just do it and all we can hope is that they give the right impression and know what they are doing.
