OMG, that's so sad. TBH I don't think boosting newer players is a good idea because they don't learn anything that way...

Amazing amount of truth here.  I made my own brother find pugs when he was leveling up to run the instance before I'd help him farm it.

this, i dont let anyone im the GW guild play with people of a 3 levels difference. i dont even let them tell them where to go, getting lost just means getting stronger.

It's a tricky balance between catching up people that are straggling and having people learn the ropes.

Generic yelling becomes personal ridicule about how much you fail
