Are we hindering newcomers with our generosity?

It is true to an extent.. You feel less attached with given things you did not earn.

But I don't want to sit in EC selling junk less than 1k, so Id rather give most of it away.

begging for tunnel buffs just puts you in the burdensome category imo

A little help really can make someone's noobs experience. What I don't like is when the noob has a bunch of items they will never upgrade til level 60. I've found it to be more fun to have shit gear and progress than have great gear then hit seb and sneer at the drops.

Pretty much my thoughts as well...

Low/Mid range gear is probably the best to give to a newbie. Things like Iksar Scaled Gloves and maybe a CoM weapon like Green Jade Broadsword are great because it essentially triples your effectiveness while giving you the opportunity to upgrade in 30 or so levels.

Depends on the player. If they want to race to 60, then gifts are great. If they want to fight adversity and be self-made characters, then they will almost always still like and accept gifts but it does rob them of some of the game experience they wanted.
