I don't like the enforced tutorial, scaling outfit gear (Outfit gear is already pretty damn good), nor do I like OOC newbie channel talk.
When I first started playing CF at the recommendation of a friend (I HAD ONE ONCE), I didn't know crap. I died miserably.
THAT is what attracted me to Carrionfields.
Had there been enforced tutorials and all that stuff...I can honestly say I likely would not have stayed. The fact that I was expected to carry my own weight and "dealwithit.png" is what really caught my eye since no other games do that well (same reason I fell in love with Dark Souls).
