What is Novice Network chat REALLY for?

On my NN the same thing happens, but people do "most of the time" help out if its really needed...HOWEVER, the one thing I can't STAND that they do or at least it bothers me because maybe they know something I don't...why in the WORLD do you guys put hunts up in the NN? WHAT brand new sprout is going to be able to take on Ixion, or some hunt in anything passed ARR...Like isn't that what linkshells are for?

Because there arent only brand-new sprouts. There are also level 70 sprouts - dont think of sprouts as only the people entering Sastasha just now. Thanks to jump potions and the like a sprout can legit be level 63.

I'd also see it as some sort of advertisment: Showing the sprouts "Hey, there is more cool content ahead of you!" potentially leading to questions and explantions about the giant-fate-mobs in general (Odin and Behemoth could be kinda relevant for example) and the hunts in general. Thats at least how I would do it... besides the whole breathing some life into the channel thing - one of the more important points to the NN in my book.

Ah-HAAA I totally forgot about those things...all these hours upon hours of slowly crawling to the top, forgot people can now just buy a ticket to later things as well. Hard to remember that when I don't use the stuff, thanks for the reminder
