I have been spent days searching the forums for help on stat and skill advice on any class. Most if not all class forum guides are out of date or only pertain to higher/max level stats and gearing or higher/max level pvp stats and gearing.
Nothing really helps a new player.
I have read posts by new players asking questions which generally don't get answered. Even if they do it is by someone referring them to an outdated guide or by someone who totally misses the point and tells them how to gear at max level and throws out some incomplete max stats and a skill or two.
I am a new player and there are others out there looking for answers that this older, higher level, community is unwilling or not interested in providing. This type of indifference is an indicator that a game is waning and the only way to revive it is for the established community to go out of their way to help new players understand game mechanics, update general and class guides and pay attention to what is asked in a forum post. Did you really answer the question being asked.
Yes some of those low level Newbies you see running around really are new and not just another alt.
