Real newbies are so rare, many people probably forgot how to deal with them. I think community standards have risen substancially since the days when most of us were newbs. I don't think many players make a distinction between a new player and a person levelling another job to 75. FFXI is still newb friendly, but you have to find the right people early on. That applies to everyone these days, really. The days of the pick-up group, a party of random strangers, have been in steady decline for months now. Granted, they happen, but it's much more common for people to limit their parties to their close circle of friends. That's largely why you don't see people seeking parties in Dunes and other low level zones anymore. The amount of parties at various levels isn't that much lower than it's ever been (though it is a little lower), it's just that people don't bother with strangers anymore. Anyway, you'll have a great time in FFXI if you hook up with LionX or someone else here. FFXI is all about social connections and starting off with established friends is a larger head start than any gil or item donations you might get.

Don't choose Kujata. People suck in Kujata.
