Honestly from what I hear about the lowbie matches, it may be better to find a high level room and just be open and ask questions. You'll probably get better games and learn a lot more than if you get into the lowbies. Some of us are more than willing to answer and help when someone asks.

I've heard some horrid things from the newbie lobbies, scary things in there.
Duzzyy:
Its full of people who are a bit full of themselves and think they know how to play. 9 time out of 10 when I tell someone to do something its because I want to help them
But you do get some people who are arseholes
Serenum:
Wait, where does the OP says that this happened in a beginner match?
I'm generally in favour of newbies staying in beginners-only matches, mostly because I don't like babysitting them around the ship and most of them seem to have serious comprehension issues. I know I can't expect them to know all the fine details of the ship, but "front gun" isn't something that can be misinterpreted to "stand near a full health baloon and keep hammering it with the mallet".
My guess is that he jumped straight into a non-beginner match and got yelled at by more a more experienced crew, in which case it's the OP fault for jumping straight into the deep end.

By default you're placed in a beginner match if you quality for them, and I don't mind new players on my crew as long as they listen to me. We were all new once, I'm more than happy to explain things to people as long as they're willing to learn. There's a difference between being new, and being ignorant or unwilling to listen. I wouldn't say it's "his fault," you're not required to stay in beginner matches just because you can. Hell, beginner matches didn't exist when I started playing. As long as you're willing to learn you'll be fine. And I very rarely see an experienced crew ragequit a match, most veterans are very open to helping out new players.
I'm glad you were able to find some better players, my recommendation is to stay away from the quick join button and try to select a match with a good looking crew. You'll have a better time in my opinion.
