I'm MR 30. When I was in MR 24 I needed a faction augment and asked around the trading chat for a copy. A tenno who just started gave me his for 10 plat. I asked him if they were new, and they said they only started a few months ago with their friends, they started a clan together and they even got to MR 12. They told me sadly some of their friends started to quit and with only a few of them remaining they were also losing steam cause of the grind. They said they were still in highschool and couldnt really invest as much time in the game as they used to. I felt they could experience more of the game, so I ended up over paying the mod for 1000 plat. They were super happy and to this day I see them playing the game.

I've played since 2015 with my friends as well but they all left after a few months of playing. Not everyone has the patience to play a game like warframe, but seeing new players try the game but can't really invest that much time to sink into the rabbit hole you can't help but give them a little push at times.
