New players start of in the Academy, and so long as there is no Alts running
they get a chance to enjoy the game but it ends way to fast for them 
So these guys get out of Academy, and think hey ill try a Public Contract , sounds fun
After one game against a good squad they realise that wasn't fun at all..... 
So they take a look at Factional Warfare, they deploy
and take part while one PRO squad wins the game for them
For the first time since academy they have a chance of gg's
So they continue to play and thus they ruin FW for the competitive players
Now here's the idea 
Set a minimum WP requirement for FW this keeps fresh players out of FW
and give those same players something to work towards ...
Some will argue that this is unfair to new players but so is
every other aspect of Dust514 and Eve Online
People are trying to kill you, keep feeding the lambs to the wolves
And all we will have left is wolf-packs ...
Like it or not this idea would make FW enjoyable for the players
that do not rely on fighting guys in starter fits to get WP/LP

Most of them also end up on the Caldari and amarr side because they have no clue. I find it weird because pubs give better rewards for losing all the time and are faster to deploy for.
I saw your post a the other day, saying you tried contacting these lost souls
Good stuff from you, but what you found out is evidence that new players need to be
removed from FW battles, it was your post that inspired this one
@ Prometheus
Raising Academy is a tricky one because the new players still get beat down on
by guys running Alts in there..... I made a RR alt a few weeks ago to check out
how the weapon functioned and I was not the only experienced dust merc in there
And that was clear judging by the scoreboard, and playstyle of some guys
(Alt is since deleted)
But I am pretty sure guys make return trips, it's not just new players
that can't make it in Pub servers so they farm academy...
So raising the cap gives too much of an opportunity for guys to run an Alt to make ISK

I hear this idea a lot but seeing the time it has took CCP to get this far,
I don't know if they should rebuild it with tiercide in mind...
That could lead to a whole host of new issues and keep us waiting
a long time for new content to be released....
Or it could be what saves the game, but is it worth risking breaking it
