I'm sick of joining games as a higher player and offering to help new players that ask to join my coalition. I'm met with either someone who just never learns how to play or radio silence for days on end.

New players are just the fucking worst to deal with. I can tell them day one to build arms industries to boost resource production and it's day twenty and they've either built nothing or it's all level one.

I can give them plans on how to stack units and what to research and then I look and see they have a stack of 21 national guard units. Then they complain they have no manpower when I tell them to break up stacks to make them more effective.

I'll give clear instructions on how to win the game and they just never respond to my messages or questions.

New players are the absolute worst and I wish they were like the new people a few years ago who were so eager to learn and play.

In no way am I looking for help or am I trying to gatekeep the community. Just venting frustration.
