MOST of the time I thought the New Player Notification would be enough to actually let people know I was new at this (obviously I figured out the truth fast). I mean, I would always talk to others if they talked to me and asked if I was new, but I never really initiated conversations (I still don't, I don't like to).

Either way I now always try to be nice to new people, maybe they also have some anxiety about playing with strangers.. I mean, even if you asked them "are you new" and they didn't respond, I'm not immediately like "okay whatever screw you"... that's a toxic way to think and just not enjoyable in the end.
