One of the new features from the G11 update is "Beginners can now send an Assistance Invitation to high-level players. This will summon the higher level player to the beginner to help in his or her trials as an aspiring adventurer."

Have you received an SOS and did they really need your help? I received one from an owl and I pressed it. It sent me to a Shadow Mission, but the person was just wondering what it did and I told him about the new feature. I then pressed the return coupon to send me back in time for a Church PTJ. What are your stories? Speaking of SOS... (Click. That song got stuck in my head.)

So it just sends the request to some random player?
Lolol.

Yeah, pretty much Nexon's GMs are too lazy to help out new players that they depend on us to help'em out instead. Well we pretty much have more experience than GMs anyways. I'm just wondering if there's going to be a lot of newbies sending out assistances. Then again, I don't know what level you stop using the assistance request nor what level you need to be able to receive them.

You can only use the SOS function till lvl 30 I think, the same time you lose free service.

Acting as babysitters/training wheels isn't part of the job description.
GMs are only supposed to be a police force... although they don't fill that role either, if they even exist at all.
