dubbs i think the response he is getting is in correlation to the attitude he projected when writing his post. We as testers want to have GOOD feedback and despite all the trolling we do try to enforce and etiquette with regards to new player posts.
I remember before i even started with my character class i came to these forums and looked at what each class is designed to do The website has great starting info with a FAQ section and information on classes, weapons, factions, vehicles etc.
After familiarizing myself with that i wrote these posts and looked at these posts

Then i figured out how to activate comms and screen team chat for mics. When i realized most people were staying in squad chat i would move from squad to squad until i found players with comms and talked to them
Thanks PHI Thirdcoast you were one of the first players i spoke with in dust, Actually i take it back Dubbs you were the very first.
I stumbled and struggled for the first week but i kept telling myself it was the SP gap and i will get there and then the reset came and i got there(still got a ways to go) but always kept improving.
Now im not saying i was saint and didnt have my share of antagonistic posts but that was in due to years spent in other game forums where people were too myopic and irrational to do anything else but talk smack and put each other down. But i soon changed because i realized here the players responded to maturity with maturity and flaming with flaming.
Perhaps its my OCD but i ALWAYS read the Strat guide/Game manual before i play a game because i want to have a cursory knowledge of the game so i can build upon it with ingame experience and trial/error.
Edit-- It already seems like he's changing his tune and getting helpful feedback in response. See it works.
