A lot of times, it's hard to help new people. They either don't ask, ask and vanish, or just do their own thing. Some people have messaged me about characters and then... nothing. Just vanished. So I don't really worry about it, if they wanna know they'll ask. 

Another thing is, the potential for the 'teacher' to just use the time as a way to just beat the shit outta the new person, for the lolz. We actually, occasionally, warn against that.

I have had the same experiences as Rilla, so it is difficult to get excited when a new person enters the arena asking for advice.

Understandable, though in my case, Lyzan's method was positive and had a purpose. Mainly the pm was originally a normal rp with arena elements stirred in. It helped a lot in my case to prevent the whole just beat up on the student as my PC literally was being built from scratch. Rach was a normal, harden bitch without any fighting style compared to what Lyzan's PC would end up teaching her. In the end, the result would've been an actual high end tier PC. That might've been one of the biggest factors that prevented the whole punching bag syndrome.
