I take whatever they have (usually around 70-100) bottles, and fit them out with an opalo and 1k ammo. Then tell them the principles of swunting. Then, low and behold, I have disciples who keep returning and they dont say, do you want to go hunting... Only ever, swunting. If I can imply these on them to make their stay more pleasurable, Im pleased I've helped someone enjoy EU.

I usually go on sweats with them, and give them whatever sweat I get, just so they can feel as though they've had some impact. There is nothing more pleasing than to hear a new person say "This game is awesome".
I would return too if you kept giving out weapons and ammo for a few bottles of sweat.

Helping noobs by showing them how EU works is all fine and dandy, and you should be commended for it, but it has nothing to do with the price of sweat.

You can sweat as much as you want these days, with no sweat cap. It is boring, but it is also free. Sweating does not define EU, it is a way for someone to get their foot in the door without depositing. It takes a bit longer than typing in your CC number, but it is free.

Maybe there should be a madatory one-time $10 fee to try EU, that would stop the non-depositors and they could try a bit of hunting right from the start...

...and sweat should be free!

..actually I like it the way it is now. If I need sweat I will collect it myself.

Cheers
