Connecting with new lights

The fireteam finder needs a guide tab so veterans can find new lights and help them. in old when I was bored id find new players and help them it's very difficult now. The fireteam finder is not good for this. On boarding is a big issue here with a aging and burnt out player here with the huge disconnect from content creators of now and the current player base. I am a veteran but I am not the hardcore I'm just a fan. This is how we keep new life by focusing on the small and not the big. So getting intermediates like me to help foster new players. Is important..

    About once a month I post in XBL LFG with an offer to assist [i]New Lights[/i]. Help them prioritize what they need to accomplish & generally pass off a build they are unknowingly sitting on. New Lights have no direction regarding what they need to accomplish. Any New Lights -blam!- this, [b]CHASE[/b] Rank 6. You're missing Armor Mods without Rank 6. Likewise, run out your '[i]Learning Light'[/i] Missions with [b]Ikora[/b], & prioritze obtaining [b]ALL[/b] the[i] Aspects, Fragments & Abilities[/i] from [b]Ikora[/b] in the [i]Tower[/i]. You'll also want to complete the opening mission(s) of '[i]The Witch Queen[/i]' in order to gain access to [b]Weapon Crafting[/b], the [b]SINGLE[/b] most important economy in the game. You'll feed your crafting systems with [i]Enhancement Cores[/i], which you can obtain through Banshee's daily bounties, in addition to your [b]Ghost Mod[/b], which will provide [i]Cores[/i] for completing [b]Ritual Activities[/b] (ie [i]Vanguard Ops, Crucible, Gambit[/i]). [b]BUT[/b] you do not have this [b]Ghost Mod[/b] until you're [b]Rank 6[/b], so once again, [b]CHASE RANK 6 !!![/b] Too many of them fixate on getting their Light up. It simply isn't a priority, given how Light now scales with the highest member of the Fireteam. [b]IF[/b] you're looking for an activity that will yield some passable, useful gear early, jump into[i] Dare's of Eternity[/i]. Learn how to [b]Sword Skate[/b] with a Dare's Sword that has the [i]Eager Edge Perk[/i]. This will enable faster movement to complete activities with greater ease. The Shotgun from Dare's is a decent Starter for Titan Melee builds, while the Trace Rifle has fantastic Utility. The Grenade Launcher has a variety of uses, from Blinding Utility to DPS rotation potential for Dungeon/Raid Bosses. The BXR Pulse Rifle has some nice Synergy for Solar Builds, in addition to being a strong PVP weapon. Dare's is where New Lights should live until they build their arsenal up, which will better enable their builds for more meaningful activities. Once you hit [b]Rank 6[/b] & have a few decent weapons & builds at your disposal, [b]THEN[/b] you want to pursue newer campaigns, [i]Dungeons, Raids, NFs[/i] & competitive PVP. Prematurely jumping into [i]Campaigns[/i] & [i]Endgame[/i] will likely result in frustration & uninstalling. Endgame is what the community prioritizes, BUT there are multiple barriers between New Lights & Endgame that have NOTHING to do with your Light Level. Yet to the New Light, they see the Light requirement/recommendation & make that priority #1. That isn't the case.
