Please give us way to distinguish between new and veteran players (average level)

I fail to see why that even matters. It's not like you have to know how to play your job to get to 50 in this game... That being said, just take note of who they are, and don't invite them again. Or! God forbid, explain things to them and help them out. Unless they are the arrogant kind that don't take constructive criticism without turning into a troll.

All you need to tell them:
1. Only attack red mob.
2. Press 1 over and over.
3. ???
4. Profit.

I'm not worried about new people whom I can share insights with. I'm concerned with the rude bossy types who think they're all that and that I don't know anything since they're 34 and I'm 32 at the time etc...

Blacklist them. Or better yet, sit back and watch them fail miserably, then when they die, do /point /laugh and don't raise them. Those people aren't worth your time. If they don't learn to stop being an asshat, and don't learn to play their job, they will not get very far in an MMO. People like that just aren't worth your time.

Although i'll admit, sometimes it's fun to fight with them. Lodestone their profile, then just pull out the good old internet argument of "How many r50's you got?"

As Endemerrin, a system like that will cause more harm than good. New players will get frustrated because it will become hard for them to get parties, etc. And not all new players are bad. While not all are great, it's rare I run into someone that makes me go, "Wow, this person sucks."

With the way this game is currently, one sour grape in a full party will not ruin it for everyone. If it were XI on the other hand... you'd be screwed.

It's just a pain these days to get parties together if they're not in your LS, and sometimes you can't help but get these ragtag teams together. I think this system would prevent a lot of problems before leves were even activated. Leadership.

this is a case of butting into others gameplay. It won't help. It will only cause issues, getting parties is already hard for everyone unless your in an LS and even then if you start now not too many ppl woth low ranks.

Then it's not really about the new players, you talk about elitists who show theirselves already at lower levels. The ones you want to mark in this case are exactly the ones who will leave out any player with a newbie-mark on their heads. See the irony? I don't think it's a matter of being new or have many 50s really. Will a player who has many 50s give you a warranty of not being a fool? Is it just those players who only have a 34-rank job that act like they were a god sent down to spare our miserable lives?

You'd like to know players' personality and behaviours at first glance, just by looking at their characters and not having to interact with them.
No way...

Giving them some kind of signal that you have multiple classes leveled up isn't going to change their personality. People act that way because that's who they are.
