I've seen a surprising amount of people choose MPs as their first toons. Maybe they get confused between A and P.
Yabut... no. You see, new players are all skinny teen kids, they always choose atrox enfos as their first toon. This is actually the main reason why most vets do TNH dualloged with crat and doc, cant trust those pesky noobs with handling aggro.
Gingers are the only known exception to this clearly demonstrated fact, they are so used to being bullied that they dont mind going opiseks. But then they usually choose fixers because it is the profession that better suits their petty criminal minds. QID: Noobs dont roll MAs.

I chose MA as my first prof, for the exact reason stated above and then noobishly did not worry about credits for many years to follow.
While I will not argue that I made and spent 100 million by the time I got to 220, the first time I had that much laying around was after I had dinged 220 and could make a twink to farm the daylights out of something (my gig was pred bosses on a 100 soldier). I guess experiences differ.
I helped a guy this past weekend who was tearing OT OOC a new one about people needing to be nicer to attract new players. While I could have considered myself justified saying his tactics did not warrant my help, I sent him a /tell anyway (mainly to tell him what the "AOU" in the one guys response of "AOU is your friend" actually meant). Turns out he was an older player returning. He needed help finding his way around an AI daily mission. As it turns out, I did not even realize that this mission had two versions nor that AOU (or even the internet) had little or no information about it. Anyway, we got it done and he seemed happy to be back. I guess kudos to the players who went first and made the guides.

PvPDood: Hey, come back and duel me again, I hardly ever get to fight a gimp like you! - Get a /tell like that and it sort of makes you want to evaluate what you thought was a twink!
