To the newbies

[Bobo]

Indeed it is painful to get passed behind tier 2 as one is not capable to participate and support the team as good as he'd want to. It goes quickly however, one just needs some patience in the beginning. Kip already mentioned in another thread that the Devs are working on some solution for new players to provide them with more freedom and joy of gameplay so I believe we are on good track here and shall see things updated someday (hopefully) soon.
My advice for new players for now is: have patience! It's worth it!
