while I dont disagree it would be an aid to others in some situations, it could also be used against them. so I dont really see it happening.

Thank you for your input, but I don't see what how can it be used to go against them?

not sure you have hung around with people much, not meant as an insult but people, especially those protected by being anonymous online, can also be rather elitist "oh, you dont have money invested? why would I andswer your question freebie... get a job and put out some cash for answers or use google"

I can see that being a thing, especially if there are a lot of free accounts with their new little flags. people WILL discriminate, its human nature. its not right, but it will happen to some extent.

That's already the attitude in NN with mentors. Just substitute "Oh you don't have money invested?" for "Oh, you're new to the game, let me troll and waste your time."

I don't see this at all and I've spent a lot of time in novice networks.

Is "new players asking for help" even a thing in this game? I've been a mentor for some years now and might have been approached for advice on something like once.

Yes, mentors who spend time in the Novice Network see new players questions all of the time and answer them.

I have an alt and this is my experience. It's that, or completely flooding out questions because they're so heavily invested in some random off topic chat, usually involving WoW.

There are always those who will harass or discriminate for whatever reason.

"Hey, free trial leech too cheap to pay for the game, I don't want you in my group"

We don't need a special free trial icon to encourage that sort of thing.

Most answers are going to be relevant whether someone is free trial or not. It's mainly use of chats and MB along with ability to join a FC that would be different. The free trial player is always free to clarify that they are free trial if the normal answer isn't working for them.

Can vary by the world you played on. I was in the NN with an alt on a data center other than Crystal and that NN got plenty toxic at times.

But it's not really NN that would be the problem. It's the general player base. I don't think SE would be able to flag players differently just within NN chat.
