Would removing it solve this issue? Yes, but that isn't beneficial to everyone. Not even close. At the end of the day, people should be asking for real solutions that benefit just about everyone. This? This is not it. But you know what? Let's just agree to disagree, because neither of us will budge on this and I know that. To be honest, I'm just getting frustrated debating with someone who doesn't want to hear a thing others are saying about this.
I didn't bring up getting rid of the NN, I was agreeing with another user here, I did include mentorship as well though. I think it is the best solution, better than going down the rabbit hole of hardware or IP bans, etc.. Some mentors may pat themselves on the back for using NN for it's intended purpose, but I think it harms more than it helps. The removal of it would only be a benefit. Players do not need the NN - in it's current state - to give or receive help. Even an overhauled NN, or "new player" chat, would be better off, in my opinion. There are many avenues a new player can go to find help, even on their own. I never joined the NN when I leveled my main.. and I am glad I didn't!
