When I started (in like 2005), it was 'trial by fire' that either you sink or swim. That made me feel like when i did win a fight, i felt like i really did something.. because of this, i think 'coddling' or 'babying' is the absolute wrong answer. Further, at this stage in the game, i think we should be more vet oriented, if we being the community of cold blooded killers i think we are, we should hold on to the players we have, so 'dumbing things down' could destroy the population we currently have. -just a concern
