Captain Retard to the hull.

I happen to tell my new recruits that this is one of the things they might want to forget about up until they find the weapon of their choice. Instead, tell them to go defensive and stay on their toes at all times.

Again; Really wish this thread would burn.

Game play in a game like this should be a level playing field for everyone.I am not talking about careers or school but actual game play.

When a new player stats they will always be behind on skills no matter what and that is just wrong.Its gameplay.When you join a game should not dictate your skills.As these have become very important in game play terms,they should be available for everyone.

The suggestion is simple.If skills have been out 300 days then let new players,(if they can donate and wish to spend hard earned cash on skills) have the option to pay for their lack of skill trains upto and including 300 days worth,no more or less.

Now I can bet that 99% of new players will never donate as much as to do the 300 skill days,but if they could then well done.They have just given zen $1000,given zen more cash to spend on upgrading the game,kept us all in an AL world for another month.

It's not a free plate.If they wan't to dine let them.Very few would but don't dismiss the option.Gym refresh's are there,energy+happiness and has been for as long as I remember.That is not a cry all part of the game.People who can afford $20 to do 15 full gym trains at full happiness keep the game in cash.

Like I have said you are over reacting to the suggestion.99% won't use the option 1% will,but if they can afford to keep paying zen for the game then let them.Don't discriminate over age of the player.

Remember a rich new player keeps the game ticking for us all.

This statement is completely wrong, also. It should be level game play, if everyone was the same robotic person programmed the exact same way in Hello Kitty: Island Adventures. But we're all different, we all do different things.

As for the 'can never catch up,' bottle neck. 'Nough said there.

If people like the game(And not scared off by some dilljack because he wants his way), they'll stick around and, eventually, donate a little bit of money to the game..But them donating $2,000 doesn't keep the game ticking..People playing a free to play online game that keeps it ticking..$$$ is just an added bonus to motivate Zenith even more.
