Looking at it from the bluesteeler's point of view, the speed boost is a great addition. No longer does the newbie run away, outrun the mithril armour of the bluesteeler, get to safety, and yell "HAHAHAHAHA UR A DUM NUB U CANT KILL MEH! UMAD BRO? UMAD!" (because that is the only reason a bluesteeler would have it in for a newbie).

And bluesteeler vs newbie will result in the bluesteeler winning every time. You have the best, most experienced person in the game attacking the least experienced. Speed boost wont change much in this situation. Newbies likely to continue to play this game (so not playing once then getting bored) will follow the link people give them to the survival 303 wiki, and octo's ending will occur. The newbie who doesn't take people's advise when they say "Google Survival 303 Wiki", is annoying enough to anger a bluesteeler, and would be completely devastated if they got killed is not the person who would be frequently playing and become a member of the community.
