Let me just point something here.
So you're advocating that new players are frustrating and yet you attempt at some moral high ground that you can somehow play with them.
When in fact you mention vet names you implicitly play with on offpeak times to avoiding playing with them, and inevitability against them.
And its offpeak times, so not many vets are on (if any- and for not very long). No way oh great saint Kamo can indefinitely resist the siren's call and ram his own self righteousness with his own girth.

Oh I don't play with the vets for the sole purpose of avoiding the new players to avoid frustration, that's just your assumption. We play the custom lobbies to avoid "stomping" and for balanced matches. I still play with new players and try to teach the ones who listen, if they don't listen just let them do their thing.
We all get frustrated by new players, yes, its the learning curve of the game and where possible.it should be avoided to just stay together against them.
My suggestions to you are that you personally are getting far too upset by playing with them, so I give examples of what me and others do in the hopes you'll open your eyes and see that doing the same thing repeatedly is not working for you. You should try to play more socially and show less hostility towards people in general.
I've offered this advice to you in the past and yet still your reputation of being someone who does nothing but attack new players for being just that does not change, in fact you post it admittedly on the forums, if they do not listen to you, you take bully builds for the purpose of teaching them a lesson, thus making you one person who purposefully stomps new players by your own words.
When we first met you was not so bad but over time I've seen you change from being someone I once considered a respectable player to someone who does nothing but complain about new players and makes little in the ways to improve your own playing experience.
Now please excuse me while I shove my self righteousness up my girth.

I like some new players. I also dislike some new players. Pretty much the same way I feel about old players. Just have to play with them to sort em out. I have had a lot of fun on clueless ships, as well as frustration on 'vet' ships. *shrug* Take them as you get them.

1st, is Ceresbane - Maximillian Jazzhand now? That's a cool name. (I seriously think so. Pls, don't take offense).
2nd, I'm a real fresh player (just hit 300 matches), and I've gone against vet players, usually while captaining a crew of fresh players (two-digit matches). Somehow, Rider metamidions can outmaneuver everything and Cake mines seem to be 100% accurate. Competitive players in pub matches are pretty OP. Vets do pub stomp.
3rd, However, I enjoy going off against a crew of vets. I enjoy putting together a crew of random novices and challenging the bosses. There's a certain satisfaction in teaching my lvl 2 gunner to disable a mine launcher, getting my lvl 6 engi to out-repair the super accurate artemises, and attempting to out-position the best positioners in-game.
In conclusion, I enjoy seeing stacked lobbies filled with pros and clans. I'm clanless and inexperienced. There's a certain exciting challenge and honor in playing against the best teams.

When you order noobs like that, you rob them of both their learning experience and you treat them like a machine. No one wants to be someone's puppet but they'll support a puppet master who is fun to be with.

When I am captain I treat every one like a machine and when I am crew I expect to be treated like a machine. There in lies the fun of this game: To be a cog in a greater machine. To know that others are depending on you to do your part so that they can do theirs. To watch complete strangers work together and succeed together. The special little snow flakes who want to do it their way are the ones out of place here.
As for stacked lobbies, I will admit they are becoming more of a problem since Match Making was introduced. In my opinion the best period in GOI history for even matches were during the persistent lobby default ship shuffle period. This was because while balancing was done via ship and not player. It challenged veteran players step up their game without frustrating them with repeat losses that they have no control over.

There's a difference to being the part of a working machine that gets oils and repairs than a machine that gets threatened to be melted down or broken for scrap parts because.it was not given the chance to warm up, which os where I believe Noirs point originates from. :)
Now stop writing on the forums and get back to work!
