All the protostompers have to look past the here and now FOTM spambush tryhard kdr etc etc etc, and see that the future of this game ultimately depends on new players. I try and do my part by only running basic gear in pubs, I keep the proto to FW. But you have to get everybody to do that, or ccp has to implement a non squad, or basic gear only mode.
Just, try and be the change you want to see in the world.
Basic gear only mode... yeeesssss.. yesssssss

Just, try and be the change you want to see in the world. . We cannot exclude seasoned players who has skilled up their core skills. Who has months of tactical experience. Prototype or MLT, to a new merc is pretty much the same in that aspect. Does the new merc want to die to a tornado or a typhoon?
My ebul plan exposed!
I agree. I believe that a way to improve the new player experience would be to somehow force the new player to go through the tutorials, perhaps even have a short bootcamp that has them walk through the various parts of the interface. My experience with new players is that the ones I've been training or playing with skip through all of the text pop ups and dive straight into the game, and get slaughtered as soon as they depart the academy.
So, improvements I propose:
- Forced Bootcamp for new accounts
- Dust 514 for idiots texts, "Shield extenders fit into your high slot, and increase your shield hit points" in every item.
