Newbie Pins

Sure. Which you really should by veteran. And if you don't... make friends!

Dunno about you, but till I was like... RH I mostly had friends closer to my own size (mostly), and that was mostly coz I immediately started trying to join player run guilds, many start with mercs/sohm/glads at vet, leaving them lacking in myth friends.

I think, personally, that newbies lose their pins too early, people are hitting rising hero in a matter of weeks or even days, myth a scarce few months later, I think there's room for a little more time as a newbie, asking for help coz ain't no way they don't need it

Hmm? Are you really saying TRUE newbies (not alts) who never tried the game before are hitting rising hero in days/weeks, and myth in just a few months? I find that very unlikely. In my experience it takes quite a lot of time for newbies to hit rising hero, and it's quite unusual for a new player to hit myth within a YEAR of playing.

But sure, if you as a true newbie meet a myth team who drags you around for a few days, maybe they could hit rising hero in a few days. Unless the extreme brute will stop that from happening, though. Not sure. Either way, I doubt it's common for myth teams to find true newbies and bump them up to RH in a matter of days tho? Unless we have a group of experienced players who has decided to boost every newbie they can see or something? What makes you believe this is the speed true newbies grow? You're gonna need to provide some more evidence for this claim I think

We have an applicant that claimed new to vet in four days.
Dunno if it was a tall tale or someone familiar with game in another incarnation.

Yeah but they are using quest guides to do specifically all the high experience reward quests and getting help from other players for hunts and money. They have also played for almost 5 days straight... I think they are just more dedicated than most of us and genuinely enjoy questing.
