imo new players don’t need to get into crews right away, unless someone is brave enough to adopt (the derpy term we use in TAS for inviting) a newbie to teach them the mechanics. ive kinda always told newbies that they should try to play solo for a bit and learn themselves, not rely on everyone to give them handouts. (items mostly, advice is usually given). from experience of helping newer players by giving items, they become dependent and that doesn’t help anyone in the future. so ive always suggested they play solo and try to sustain themselves before looking for a crew that can take care of them. but then theres also the people wanting to make crews to take care of new players.. it’s a shame the idea can get canned so quickly when just a couple newbies start  creating a mess; thus ruining it for future new players.
