In runescape, there is an unwritten rule: "Anyone with a lower level than you, either in a skill or in combat, is a noob" "Anyone with a higher level than you, either in a skill or in combat, is a no lifer" You can guarentee that a lot people, usually unknowingly, follow these rules. Obviously these two statements are complete and utter rubbish. I define a noob (in runescape) as: 1. Someone who wants a quick and easy way to everything or someone who doesn't want to put any effort into what they are doing. 2. Someone acting in a rude or disrespectful manner towards other players. Lots of people assume players with low combat levels are noobs, this is cleary incorrect as they could be new to the game or a skiller. Then there are people who make up stupid catorgaries of noobs, here are some examples: Defence Noob Attack Noob (Insert skill here) Noob Pest Control Noob Level 3 Noob Quest Noob Skill Cape Noob (yes i've heard someone say it) Skiller Noob Combat Noob PK Noob DDS Noob AGS Noob (Insert Weapon here) Noob The list is endless, what i would is like for people to think before they label someone as a "noob", and try to follow my definition of a "noob". (Unless ,of course, you disagree with it.) Hope you enjoyed reading and please post your opinions and experiences with the word "noob" (If anyone has a better definition of a noob please post) :thumbsup: \ :D
