When I first started playing this game when it was in beta there was the training area for new players, they could earn XP for completing the training missions and rank up their crew, and there were low level missions which were essentially co-op missions against bots where you could gain real experience by playing the game against opponents that matched your skill level as well as experience points to level up. What happened to that? were players abusing it? Well the way to fix it is not to completely remove it from the game but prevent the abuse, because those training missions and battles were invaluable to me to getting to know the game.

When I got back into it I was hoping to relive those missions and training excercises to remember how to play, but nope, forces you straight into Great Battle with lvl 120 players. That's ridiculous, I'm lucky I remembered a bit how to play the game so I knew what the hell to do before getting annihalted, but do you know how demoralizing that is for a new player? I mean I know some new players stick it out and good for them, but that does not cater to the majority. That's why most MMO's have beginners areas, or suggested level areas. If anyone cares about keeping this game going then you have to go back to that, the way it was, or at least something like it. Unless the dev's really do just want the game to die out, then it is definitely on the path for that.
