This isn't really about NPE, it's about NP. The system in place for new players aint the best but I don't think we can blame everything on CCP or Protoscrubs.
I think Dust514 seems to get a lot of people who don't play online shooters, because its FREE. I think that a lot of the new players come from fighting AI, and think they are pretty good. Then they are met by players who do play online shooters and get rolled.
It is the only logical explination I can think of when I see some of these new players. Things I see that scream out that people don't know what online/competitive MMO are:
They get shot, then look up....
They get shot, don't even flinch..
They see an enemy and charge...
They don't come down from high uplinks... turning a well placed uplink into a farm for the enemy....
They throw a grenade at a tank and it does nothing so then they throw another..
They shoot a tank it does nothing, sothey empty their clip on it...
list goes on...and on..and on.
They are so casual that its obvious they are used to less harsh conditions of predictable AI enemy, they have NO tactics..NONE.
I don't really know how to fix this, or even if it can be fixed, but its a killer for the game, and for anyone squaded with the bl00bs who offer nothing other than a fast depleting clone reserves pool. I try to talk to them, tell them to GTFdown, or to head towards the ONLY objective on the map.
What do you people think?

OMFG.....
As for the rest. I understand that the tutorials are missing A LOT, for weapons there is not only a very restricted choices at first, and the information on the weapons weakness/strengths just aint there. BUT that does not stop a player from being able to pull the trigger.
In just about any online shooter the red guys are bad and need killing, yet on dust I see people just not attack, as if the situation is new to them.
Today I watched a guy in spawn throw a grenade at his own feet, ADS at it, then almost die.
As I say this game could change a lot for NPE, but regardless of change the incomming players will be the same.

So many times I have watched new players sprint at me, no attacking, just running. They just get mowed down. It's weird.
