The philosophy that we've adopted here in Silver Sun Republic follows parallel to that of how I actually lead my units in RL. There are no bad soldiers, just 'works in progress.'
I don't care how terrible of a player you are because we will take the time specifically to make you better. That goes for a whole person concept from leadership to combat and just general MMO-mechanics. We set aside time to teach people the beeps and squeaks behind game design and how that can help you understand mechanics better. We specifically teach people how to lead and how to follow. We spend time in the virtual range in Planetside 2 teaching people how to aim and fire their weapons.
The Air Force's philosophy is that people are the greatest resource in an organization and I believe that 100%. If a player is willing to learn we will invest heavily in teaching them how to play so that there are no 'bad' players in SSR.
Now, if a person isn't willing to listen ... that's a whole other issue and we've even taken time to adjust those attitudes as well.
