Wanted new or returning players

I have no date…but sometimes I do run into newish players. They seem to enjoy all of the directions they could take.
CG has done a lot to speed up the early game and there are catch up mechanisms in place for people who are willing to spend a little. New players can grow faster if someone lets them into an end game guild- but they maybe would have more fun in a guild where everyone was at the same level? 
im rambling - but it feels like measures ARE being taken.
