Let's look at this from a different angle.
How much time did we veterans spend in Novice matches? I'd say I maybe spent 1 or 2 matches there, max. You don't sharpen steel with steel. Novice matches can actually be a breeding ground for terrible habits. What exactly is a noob supposed to learn from a noob?
In my humble opinion, you either have the disposition for this game, or you don't. You either want to cooperate, or you don't. For every terrible non listening noob who buffs the aft gun on a pyri or refuses to "just shoot the darn enemy" or "please repair the hull" there are equal amounts of people who genuinely want to learn and be an important part of the team.
Ask yourself, "How did I learn this game?"; "What was it that really got me hooked on this game?"
I'd be willing to bet my jazz music that the answers to either of those questions is not Novice Games.
Could just give up on the Novice/Vet stuff and take it back to FFA. Then us vets can once again dine on the entrails of newbies while filling our goblets with their tears! Muahahahah!!This is clearly the new meta.
Or just give us an ejector seat button. Preferably linked to a gun that can fling them into our enemies when they give us any guff!
"Captain, they're firing noobs at us!"
"Very well, we'll respond in kind! Ready the noob thrower with Noobmuffins and Mr.HugNnoob!"
"Loading up! You may want to block list them now sir, their profanity arming timers are already going off!"
"Excellent, fire the noobs at will!"
