I'm mostly curious not because I think it'll make me special, but because I want to know how much of a newb's perspective you guys get around here. I see so many people who have been around for years, or at least claim to have, but when people talk about things like balance, no one really knows how to or don't even try to look at it from a newb's point of view, even if they start an entirely new character, because they know the game so well. No, this game shouldn't pander to the new players and hold their hands, but there are people who seem to think that the first few weeks of gameplay should be some sort of survival test, and if you don't pass then GTFO.
