Ok, so let me get this straight. I play the game for my fun and entertainment.. but I have to play nice to new players in order to promote the game?
BULL!@#$!
Im gonna play my characters whatever way I like. His character was warned of the consequences. His death = his fault.
It's long been etiquette to release new players and treat them more leniently than those who have played a long time, precisely for the goal of ensuring they remain in the game.
I don't think it's changed either - be nice to newbies, it's the older players we treat like crap
