is it something us newbies should be hunting, up to the point of buying accounts which may eventually be tainted? I personally like the idea of being here just for fun and little dialogue exchange, but i dont know if i am heading in the right direction with this point of view.
Yes you can hunt for it, put in the effort, do your research, give out quality and relevant content, and learn as you grow.
And there is no right point of view, different people have different objectives for being members of this forum. You'd need to define yours and work towards that.
