Or, you know, don't do that. Find those children in their starting zones and give them in game currency and equipment. Help them get stronger. Stand under them and prop them up. Teach them how to play and defend them from the teabaggers of the world. Show them a better way.

Build a legacy instead of a throne.

The better way would be to steer them away from games that require in game curency.

Good tip for new Rust players:

If you see these kinds of players, feel free to backstab them the moment you find an opening for some free loot.

I play medic in tf2 and I love ubering and pocketing noobs. When they go on a kill streak they are so excited and I'm so proud.

I often go to the starting area in Wynncraft and give the players a few blocks of emeralds to start with :)

I believe I remember endgame players helping me out in the beginning and it's just such a welcoming little gesture. I want to make someone's day and make them feel at home.

I feel like the post was talking about combat games like shooters as opposed to rpgs. In rpgs I give new players advice on how to improve without giving them anything. In shooters I take their soul and show 0 mercy. Send those mfers back to Roblox.

Giving a beginner stuff in a game basically deprives them of the game.
