When I got back into it a player hooked me up with a few items, nothing insane. We're not talking fungi tunics here, but things like a green silken drape and sarnak ceremonial dagger etc. I always just passed the favor back down to someone else. I think maybe dropping 2k on a new char might be excessive but whatever its a game. Most of the time just getting your gear up to speed helps you get motivated and play more.
If anything new players getting POTG cast on them and damage shields is way worse for the overall 'experience' with that argument of tainting the game. And I think that's just fine. Sometimes I'll hang around a lowbie and buff em and make sure they're ok for a while. It helped me a lot when I got back in.
