I think with how carried away some people get about talking about how much resources they are trying to stockpile, it is also important to let newer players know that the diffculty is designed to ramp up with each event map as well as with higher admiral levels. This allows everyone to participate.

They often have nice rewards even for clearing the very easy first map like Prototype Seiran, Reppu Kai, I-19 in the past few events.

Preparing for events as a new player is more about being active and obtaining, equiping and leveling your ships rather than just stockpiling resources. You really don't need that much resources as long as you are active. Most of the resources are spent on the later maps, which are often too difficult for new players to even attempt. Excess resources can be used to grind for rare drops, but this is more of a bonus rather than being a necessity.
