#3730, "I'm sorry to hear this."

The fact is that one of the unspoken truths about playing CF is that you must have a certain amount of masochism in your character to play this game.
Once you accept that, and the frustrations that come with it, you can truly begin to appreciate the game. No matter who you are, whether the newest of the new or the most elite among us (look at Zynzyn) these frustrations will be there. Managing the sting of frustration is one of the things that must be done to enjoy this game.
However, if you are able to overcome this, you will find just about the richest fantasy world ever created and you will come to realize that you can have a hand in changing that world and leaving your mark on it.
My advice to you would be to, if you wish to come back, do some things to mitigate the frustration:
1. Play an assassin. They have detect hidden and detect invisible, but more importantly they can hide in the wilds to foil thieves and hide in civilized terrain to foil rangers.
2. Join a cabal. Fortress and Nexus are the go-to new-player friendly cabals, but there are pros and cons to joining pretty much any cabal other than Scion. I'm a big proponent of newbs going Battle, but that is a matter of personal preference and definitely requires more masochism than average.
Every single one of us has thrown up our hands in frustration at getting PKed/dying to deathtraps/getting looted by mobs/the list goes on and on and on, but we all keep coming back because the world is just that rich.
I'd invite you to come back, play a N/G human assassin and apply to The Fortress. I think you'll find a whole different experience. You'll still get frustrated, but in the end I think you'll find that the good outweighs the bad.
