Someone who has been playing the game for 10 years is much more LIKELY to know what they are talking about than someone who has been playing for three. There is nothing in my statement saying that they ARE more knowledgeable.
this is completely and utterly false...
MMOs are fluid, there mechanics are changing constantly...
someone who created an account 10 years ago, has a bunch of old, obsolete information mixed in with current changes... and if there dense, or just dont care about mechanics... if they just log in and play... they wont know shoot all about the game...
but someone that has been playing for 2 months and studied up on patch notes, tested things out and ask'd the right questions could possibly know more about how things are in the current game...
age of daoc account is meaningless... i've known players in EvE that played for 6 years, but stuck just to high sec mission running... they didnt know anything at all about warp bubbles or how they worked, or even what region of space they were usable in.... while other players jump straight into low/null sec pvp, and learn about these things in a matter of weeks/months.... but they couldnt tell you shite about how to run a level 4 mission...
time is a meaningless factor as you dont know what people focused on in that time.
