There's a difference between veterans of game and veterans of forum.
I guess there is.
Doesn't change the fact that at some points the tone here is just unnecessarily awful. What do, if you will - forum veterans- get out of being unfriendly towards everyone, except causing rage, semi-intellectual word battles for nothing and forum newbs stumbling across their own words because of giving in to that kind of behaviour?
I just wanted to get that out, and its off topic now. What was the topic again?
Oh, right. Welcoming new players fallout-style

Well I think it doesn't matter with how many bullets you get greeted, it is a full on pvp game and its not fair, thats right.
There are several suggestions how to ease the stress and hardship a newb experiences and it would make sense to imply some of them. To make a big fuss about getting shot at level 1 is a bit overreactive, so yeah get over it and learn.
Its not wrong what zuhardu wrote, just the way he wrote it (+viles unnecessary follow-up)kinda pissed me off.
