Your question... "Why is attacking newbs wrong?"
My question in response... Why is attacking people who attack newbs wrong?
You are targeting people who haven't even gotten a chance to learn how to play the game yet. Why not have an actual two-sided battle with someone similar in size as you or who at least has a basic understanding of combat mechanics? How does this create fun for you or them?
It may make you feel big and important to farm new players for resources, but I think a lot of people actually want other people to enjoy the game and the illy community to expand. And that doesn't happen if the player is attacked the day after they get out of newbie protection.
If you want to battle it out, why not pick on someone closer to your own size?
