Since I began playing I have introduced 30+ of my gamer co- workers etc to the
EU universe, and there is no shortage of SWEAT LORDS hounding the Arrival area ready and willing to enslave new players into their SWEAT empire... teaching them that hunting and mining will get them nowhere and holding down the sale rates on sweat... we have people teaching the new players but they are not teach8ing them the right things- and in a universe that relies on new player to keep the economy thriving, it would seem that we loose a lot of new players as for the very reasons you mention, and others that could be good leaders but are contrarily driving new people away after they have completed their 18th hour of sweating and received a 5 ped reward....
I am concerned...
