New Players Protection
Trokanis:
Well in my suggestion that is similar to this one about making beginning players safer, that can't happen where a 'protected' person scouts and radios gangs in. It's just a matter that so many people are so frightened by the thought of not being able to abuse lowbies that we have to work around.

of course you could.
the difference between a global blanket protection as suggested here for anyone below a certain level and an older suggestion of an optional tutorial vault is that the former is completely exploitable and the latter isn't.
I see a protected starting area as way for the learning curve to be graded as opposed to all at once as it is right now. Understanding the whole game takes a long time as it has a huge learning curve. to break up the games core concepts for new players is A, something most games do, and B much more realistic.
I think we can all agree we need more players to keep the game going. Someone just needs to script it. If I could script I would give it a go but since I can't I will help new players along in my own way until something like this comes about.
Those of you who kill them mercilessly, keep doing so. The waste needs villains. Just try to remember it's a game, even dying can be fun, and maybe winning doesn't need to mean gloating like a prick. Maybe if you try not to be dicks about it, maybe even make it interesting for the other party (can I get some dialogue? your a character, whats your motive?) you would both have more fun.
so i've had a few, SO WHAT!

Imagine the possible abuses, players using low level alts to benefit from new player protection.

^^Solves the low lvl alt abuse issue. It's not a perfect fix, but it's something we can try to build on if people think about it.
