I count 20 training requests in my trainers mailbox for 2007.  That's only counting the ones that get forwarded from the trainers @ hitechcreations.com address.

Just over the last weekend, i had six one on one trainings... thats not counting the "in between" questions answered.

Perhaps we could force them to play the intro? They cannot go into any arenas until they complete it?

I too have gotten some stupid questions, "OMFG WHO SHT M3??/?" and "HOW DO I TALK???/??" But what annoys me most is capitalization and bad punctuation. I annoy them with the whole "Lets try this again. Rephrase your request in lower case" "omfg how i bomb stuff?" "Now lets try grammar" "how do i bomb stuff?" "Close enough" and I try to be helpful and take them on runs. Fortunately I have found two kids who are good, they listen, and ive managed to teach them the basics of level bombing, but the vast number of people whose questions I try to answer, dont care enough to take the time and do things right.

Also I hate the play-by-plays. Ill anounce my intentions if I plan to do something like bomb TT, to see if there are any objections, but I hear "Im taking off" "Im flying" "I see a bad guy" "Im chasing the bad guy" "Im shooting the bad guy" "OMFG IM DED!!!1!!" "Save ME!" "SEND THE RESCUE CREW!" "WERE is the rRESCUE CREw?!?" and the like. I think there should be this tutorial, with DEFINATE emphasis on proper chat etiquete. I am always happy to help, but it makes my life easier if the kids im trying to help dont have be started at "Proper capitalization and gramar". I cannot understand half of what they are saying!

ALSO a few tips on 'player courtersy' and the right way to behave in-game would help, sick and tired of, vulched on landing, damn blatant RAMS, and other shananagons....

Try this write up on Arena Etiquette from the trainer's web-site.

Net Aces should probably be displayed somewhere more prominantly than it is - perhaps on the "sidebar" where under a new section (like the Soda and DokGonzo's)...

Most of NetAces has been copied to the Trainer's Website. We are also doing new write-ups on a multitude of subjects. Material that is on the trainer's web-site will eventually be removed from netaces. My hope is to find the authors for a lot of the old stuff at netaces and get their permission to use it on the trainer's site.

Oh spelling, punctuation and grammar are such a pet peeve for me. Especially people who cant grasp the subtleties of

There, their, they're
Hear, here
Your, you're

I don't proclaim to be an english master or anything, but this is pre-shcool stuff.

Throw Down a Challenge  and they will come !

 Basic Training  vs.  Advanced Training

  An Example of how pilots are rated.

E = Experiance, Time in grade, = X  (number value)
T = Low Level Training,            = X  
T = High Level Training,            = X  
T = Fighter Training                   =X
V = Vison  ie. the ability to forsee what may happen, or SA test.
                                                 = X
                                               ______
                                         (number value)
   
         Then a Group of Pilots to select from would look like
 TT                                                
 ETV
 ETTTRV (Possible Ace)
 RV
 *        ( New User training  not completed )

    I Think a Rating System would be fine, or just to know ones
   Strengths and Weakneses
