          **POC will add a new feature Block-teleporting in the next update.**

          Many people struggling to survive are starving, dying and will grab every opportunity they see, but are not capable of going out into the wilderness on their own. Despite the hard times, better players are giving the helpless food, armor and weapons while those who think otherwise should only offer them violence and more pain. Pocadmin encourages the people to unite and survive together, but the community is giving up on them. 

          Luis Khan is leading a revolt around towns to put an end to GHE killing sprees, and it is encouraging players to once again try building a good house. In TUO's post Luis Khan, noob defender, he shows Luis Khan throwing a bone to a group of noobs while they build their house. Impressed that they made it until the end and built a small villa, TUO promotes Luis's kind act to the community.

         "This is how we all should be [sometimes]," he told everyone. 

         Having said that, others that have tried offering things to noobs denounce Luis's act because the people are hopeless. A 17-year-old college student, Kieranb announced how weird and needy each of them are.

         "I usually run, because they're doing a really weird, cringy [roleplay] or they beg too much, once I gave a guy full-diamond armour and weapons, he was stupid enough to fall in lava...he then wanted 3x more [of] what I gave him," he explained.

          Many reacted to Kieranb's response, because they agree that help will not push them any further. Scarlet came out, saying that she never had help like some others who did figure out how to survive without any support or push. TUO explains, that giving things can spoil an inexperienced player.

          "Alright...first [of] all, don't give [inexperienced players too much, or they'll expect it from you and bam...He/She's spoiled," he states, "guiding is what you'll have to do, teach them how to get their own stuff. Also they mainly attack [because] they feel you're a threat (about 60% of them) due to numerous diamond geared players going on newbie onslaughts."

           Moreover, TUO calls out that we had it more easier and the current noobs are struggling to survive under the pressure they're in now. The generation that grew up had it easier, because they never had bloodthirsty players, witches nor skeletons as a problem. In the last update, the generation are able to combat witches faster than the people. A study shows, that the consistent killing sprees have significantly discouraged players from stepping out of the zone. In addition, the community is getting used to people that will donate to them. 

          Now most players will stay in the towns and continue to beg other players for food, armor and weapons, then end up stepping out of the zone once they feel ready. Raven agrees with Scarlet saying that players have to figure out how to survive on their own, but he also mentions that noobs are now only focused on roleplaying. 

          "Scarlet, 100% what I have been saying, I was a noob. The people who really want to survive will go further than the first few towns. Noobs seem to have no sense of adventure. All they want to do is rp and bloody get married!!!!" He argued. 

         If the inexperienced players are going to try, then they have to be left to figure it out by themselves. They have to be ignored and the killing sprees need to stop. Yet, these players are excessively aggressive and will kill other players or raid houses. Harley, a new player, had experienced a raid in her home. 

          "He tried killing me with an iron sword and ran around his house. He tried killing me so I ran," she told TUO, who gives her advice.

          "If they attack non-stop [without] any reason other than trying to loot ya....he's asking for death," he elaborates, "self-defense is okay....abusing power is not."
