Read the initial post, read the constructive ideas posted therein and following it in the replies. We don't want AO being newb-friendly in the way of removing complications, we never said that, we want things to be added, we want things in there that prepares and teaches newbs how to play the game so that they can enjoy it and continue to play it as we do.
But, what do you care, your just someone with an ill attitude who likes to go around and bash peoples ideas because it somehow makes you feel like your better then they are. So go on, BoardTroller, live up to your aptly chosen name, troll away at our threads and ideas. But don't expect people to pay you much heed beyond skipping your posts and commenting on how utterly annoying you must be.

I want to keep my AO the way it is, lets make it complicated so we can help newbs and not just give them everything they need from the get go like this current dev path is taking us.
Come FC, listen to your players, if not ever before then now. Simplicity is not what we search for in this game. Free things are nice, but what use is things when there is no challenge to get them.
Typing in a code to get an item isn't as fun or as satisfying as getting the item yourself through trials and I like the idea of new quests on the island, new stuff and a way for them to explore the island. I'm not saying that has to change. All I'm saying is that the removal of things is making things worse. Taking away Take me to the Shop, or the Ai weapons. What purpose did that serve? Oh, to alleviate confusion in noobs?
Why not just have the Unicorn guy talk to you and explain what these aliens are, cause you didn't remove them. Frankly, I've seen a lot of people not even know they have expansions because they started on Rubi-Ka and (it being so froob friendly) never encountered anything that caused them to question or wonder. So a froob finds a AI weapon, there not gona say "This game sucks theres things I can't use" there gona ask "What is this?" and there gona get answers. If they have expansions then great, they can use it. If there froob, well now that know what there missing. They now have the hint of, "I want that" and there more likely to pay for the game just so they can.
Like I said in my previous post on this topic, give them the answers instead of removing the need for a question.
