Helping becomes a hinderence when the new player won't learn. What I mean is, you teach them about TPing without asking, and they keep doing it. You're in Tormenta whacking brinescum and *POOF*! Suddenly they're running and screaming "HELP ME!"
When they are CONSIDERATE, POLITE, and APPRECIATIVE then it's a PLEASURE helping new players. That's what I try to do and how I usually meet new people. I've met pirates that were mastering whom I've been able to help. I taught them how to get the most rep per kill and also crewed with them and healed them so they could go up against Gen DH. I've helped the babies with their Pearl quests (how I met Lizzy) and am always happy to help out. I love being a healer for the new guys and giving them pointers and tips. Again, I expect a certain appreciation for my time, not just a "HEAL!" and a "FOLLOW!" from them. When it gets to bossy, I get to teleporting away. As for friending, I get friend requests all the time. I NEVER accept a friend request unless there's a reason. What I mean is, if some dude in RL walking down the street came up to me and asked if I would be his friend I would be concerned. So I handle it the same way in game. When I work with a new or experienced player and we seem to be doing well and it looks like it would be good to be able to work together again, I friend them.

Actually I sent friend requests to these two. It was about 3am here and I think I was having new pirate sympathies. While I know I opened myself to all the random friend possibilities, I just felt that these guys might in the future need a hand. I remember well coming in cold with no clue what was going on with all these big scary pirates.
 I didn't want these two to have the first pirate who tells them about rep stealing or whatever be someone rude who might put them off the game. I remember how that feels, to meet rude pirates first. If I can help a newbie find a love of Pirates, then I'm good with that, and it's a great pirate days work to me.
