The sprouts and returners are who would lose out if it didn't exist.

There might be one or two odd servers with poor novice networks but again they tend to be full of trade mentors who came from other MMOs to raid and just fill the chat with raid-related discussion, when it's supposed to be about new player things.
As someone who didn't have access to NN as a sprout due to accidentally leaving it early on. I'm fairly certain people can make do without.
