Horrible Behavior Towards Newbie in DF

[Gunspec]

MSQ roulette is just a cesspool of strange and bad. It got out of hand when it was a decent method of getting the lower rank tomes in 2.X, and now people continue to spam it despite being able to earn far more xp from fates or level appropriate dungeons. I've met some people that are so hung up on spamming MSQ roulette and hard 2.0 primals, that they never progress far enough in 2.X story to unlock Snowcloak. Of course a dungeon series with absolutely no challenge (designed for ilevel 50, consists entirely now of people in ilevel 90+) will end up filling with the worst type of people.

My advice for all newbies is to find one or two level 60 players to run you through it at your own pace for the story, and then not bother with that series of dungeons again. I've essentially soloed both dungeons for newbie friends as a warrior, so it really doesn't take much.

Of course, newbies probably won't be reading the forums. So... if you encounter someone around that level in your travels, and want to be as helpful as you are empathetic on the forums, then just run them through the content and smash Gaius's teeth in single-handedly.
