That's not what I was trying to get across - regardless of level, they're going to be a bit naff at CP the first time. The problem is the vets' attitude toward them.

« on: January 11, 2016, 04:25:46 am »Just yesterday I was playing, and I met some very rude arrogant players. These, however, weren't novices, nor where they low to mid level, these were veterans with thousands if not tens of thousands of matches under their belt, throwing hissy fits in text chat and captain's chat. I could just as easily point out that due to the poor behavior of the veterans (I actually think almost all of the vets are awesome. I really hope this doesn't offend any one) that we should kick them all from captaining because they bully lower level pilots/crew. This is of course ridiculous, but it uses the very same logic that most experienced players use: Novices are bad, some people who are bad tend to be arrogant, therefore, all novices are bad and therefore arrogant. Instead of punishing all because of the errors of the few, we as a community must take it upon ourselves to educate this new addition to our player base.
Similar thing happened a couple of days ago after a novice's first time in Labyrinth - one of the allied crew members was just tearing into them, "Why didn't you-" this, and "You were supposed to-" that. Way too aggressive to make people want to stay in the game.

As a pyrogender firekin, that statement triggers my chemspray PTSD.
Literally shaking right now, Muse. You cishetdudemanbro developers better check your privilege or I'll start wailing.

Just played a few matches with novice pilots - put up with more than a few awful builds, but they were communicative enough to be taught a decent layout (for a Galleon, at least).
I find it really fun giving the newbies encouragement and feedback. Even though we'll end up getting steamrollered, they'll learn a valuable lesson.

I don't really mind novice captains much - I mean, as long as they've done the tutorial.
With or without veteran help, it's pretty much trial and error. You've all gone through the same thing, put yourself in their shoes and think about how they'd feel about being stigmatised as new pilots.
