But why do so many good players stay at the beginner level or a low rank just to intimidate newcomers?

Do you want people to play the game or give it up? Is there some kind of private group that doesn’t want new players to join this game? Personally, I can handle it because I learned the hard way, but I just convinced a friend to start playing, and he got bullied by fake beginner players. Please explain this to me.
