This is a good point. If they have the wiki, they have the knowledge, and all new mithrilites have a few games without much experience regardless. After all, they'll have to go through the iron and steel ages to achieve mithril, and by the time you have a steel sword you've already got the ability to kill most the server. Mithril's just a bonus for the determined.

I'll vote "yes".
