Cache up things for new players

Shrug, I'm not picturing increased drop rates or any of that other stuff op is saying or even all marquees at once like you seem to interpret me saying. I'm thinking drawn out quests, at the point they want to introduce you to FO, give them a quest to do a marquee, then get into those learn how to play them quests.

I'm reading others as saying why give new people more stuff, it devalues what old players did.

But what I'm thinking is, why should old players get 100s of shards worth of free stuff that new players never will. Because i was playing when enys came out i got 50 free shards. Someone who starts today won't get those, so if they want enys thats 50 less shards for say farming baze.
See the disadvantage? Should a new player be able to instantly catch up to a day one without paying? Absolutely not, but should they really be punished that much? Sure arenas are all on even ground, but guilds are not.
