I wouldn't expect him to stay in the same place for so long.
Luther Blissett:
As much as we've all got used to it, realised it doesn't matter etc, you have to think that he does have a valid point - if you've come from playing Fallout 1/2 etc - quests are the important thing in that game - essentially the main bit, the interesting bit. It makes sense that you'd do the same to get yourself started here - so you get killed - and you try and do the quest again.
When you're starting out, getting xp, caps and a weapon IS important. Getting that first tent can be tough. Once you've got a tent with 20 of your chosen armours, 20 copies of your chosen weapon etc, then yeah - you don't care if you die, because you just pick up a new set of weapons and armour, and off you go again.
In a situation like this with a new player, and a person clearly being an arsehole for "lulz", it seems a little weird to blame the new player, doesn't it?
"People being arseholes is fine - that's playing the game properly. You're doing it wrong by trying to do a quest".

I've been here for about 4/5 days or so I think, so I'm in the same boat. Like I said to him though, he needs to realise its just a game and not get frustrated. If he doesnt like it now, he isn't going to like it when the same person kills him again on the 100th quest try :P
Anything goes, which is a good thing not a bad thing imho

So what is stopping him from attempting a different quest? or if he really needs to complete this quest why not postpone it and attempt a different quest in the meantime.

Anyway sure you wouldn't think people would camp a certain area for several hours the first time you play a game but now you know it does happen, particularly in unguarded areas. I just hope this experience doesnt make you jump onto the suggestions board and want some sort of newbie protection from the big bad experienced players who beat down on anyone/anything not in their faction or known to them.

Another whining topic have we made, huh?
Please, have mercy.
