The only issue I have with run selling really is the lack of people willing to do a normal learning party, nobody wants to assist on a run where noobs die over and over again, but feel there's no community obligation to help the new players because "they can farm up 10 mil and buy it."

I've helped friends and friends of friends, and the party forming is always the worst part. If it's not folks wanting to lie and say experienced players only to try and sneak the new player through, it's folks saying he should just buy a clear from one of the many groups advertising.
