Locutus_Of_Borg Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 I'm quite confident in saying that everyone who goes out and PvPs will always be called a noob by someone. The reasons? -Defense -Prayer -Potting- - Strength/Range/Mage Pure The question is, why? The answer: All of them Are Advantages -Defense- "z0mg, I can't hit j00 through all dat armour" Defense is a part of combat. These people fork over the time and money to actually not take damage. Others think that higher defence is just a waste of combat levels because you take mostly the same amount of damage. -Prayer- I'm sure Prayer is viewed as another way of potting, but with more variety and other special abilities. You can greatly decrease the damage you take, and then increase your damage at the same time. -Potting- That special little something that can boost your strength level 12.5%. Steroids, as I call them, are frowned upon by those who don't use them and praised by those who do. -Pures- Well, where to start. Pures as we all know are pretty much RuneScape's "combat specialists." Being able to do great deals of damage at low combat levels, this species of 'Scapers is what all PvP is known for. --------------------------- I constantly see this in the Wilderness, and people have different views on what is considered a noobish thing to do and what isn't. Please add your thoughts on any subject. Very good arguments will be quoted in their respective category.

Locutus_Of_Borg Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Well, why would people call you these versions of noob? Do you support potting in the wildy, or do you think it's nooby? There are many Codes of Conduct in PvP situations in RuneScape, most of which revolve around these. I would include teleporting and running in this, but I didn't. All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu...This is the truth!This is my belief!...at least for now.

nerdattack16 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 They call you "---- noob" because they can't deal with the fact that they didn't do what you did, or they can't, or they just can't beat you. This isn't exactly a debate-worthy topic, in my opinion. :-k Sig credit goes to ThruItAll. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_2_H Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 There's nothing wrong with potting, unless you do so in a dm that prohibits it. There's nothing wrong with prayer, same as potting. Use what you have at your disposal, and don't listen to the people that insult you for it. What really pisses me off is when they whine about you safing. Well, I'm going to do what I know will give me better chances of winning than going suicidal, waiting until 5-10 hp to eat. I'll take my side of the fight before I take my opponent's. That's mostly why I keep chat off during battle. The ULTIMATE Runescape weapon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alg Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 the wilderness is full of people who frown at anything that turns the favor of combat away from them. they want your stuff, if they can't get it, they're not smart enough to up their game to beat you, so they whine.

Rollyboy Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Why do people say it? Im guessing because their other peers say it. Classic example team member 1: Omg safer noob team member 2: yeah stop safing Then some random person watching this fight will say it later on to someone else. It is like a popular phrase at school. Once someone says it, it becomes contagious. I just do the mature thing and say nothing. And hope the example im setting is seen by another. Saying that, i do like a 'low-hp' fight. But im not bothered when someone eats.

Dracion1 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Why? Because they picked a fight they couldn't handle because they judged your combat level without thinking what type of person you are. Either their character 'type' is weak to yours or they just decided to skip something and they are bad losers. I'm sorry to say but you get bad losers in any game. They only way to avoid it is to avoid places like the wilderness :(. "In the beginning, the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

Triforceelf Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I agree with Master Smither. If you cant beat them, join them. Get your defence level up if you find that you lose to people with a good defense level. Get your prayer up if you find you lose to people who have a good prayer level. Or make your own pure if you lose to them, or even better get to such a high combat that you can kick their [wagon] from here to Yanile anyway. Quit whining. If you lost, come back better prepared next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcneilp Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 They call you "noob" to either: (a) Make themselves feel big and mighty when they beat you, even though they are 20 levels higher than yourself. (b)Try to discourage you from potting, using prayer or training defense as it makes it harder for them to kill you and take your items. They don't like you having an advantage over them. I notice this a lot in c wars, as i don't pk myself, but i just laugh, it's not my fault i had the sense to bring some strenght potions and switch my defense prayer on, Its not my fault i want to give myself the best chance of surviving. The best you can say to this people is either nothing or a "lol" in the chatbox and console yourself that at least you didn't turn out that way.

gotjello Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 i say u can pot in the wildy because its just another part of the game along with people calling u a noob. I'm sure i've called some1 a noob before. I kno i have because some beggars annoy me a lot and i just blow. 98% of the Tip.it Community has a signature.

Theboy1001 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I would never call anyone a noob and think it's just stupid when I see others do it. The only reason people noob-call is because they don't have it or cannot kill you because of it. If you choose not to have a defence level, or choose not to use prayer, that is your own fault. You cannot blame anyone but yourself for that. There are no rules when you PK, so players can do whatever they like, and if that includes potting/praying/using defence, then so be it. RSLinkss!

oegly41 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 To all those who claim this is no debate, I must say that I can't think of many more matters which are more discussed than this in RuneScape. If someone calls their opponent *-noob, it is simply because they are too hard to kill. In most cases, they call their opponents noob to assure themselves that they lost because their opponent "cheated", or to make their opponent stop doing that act. In my opinion, all honour code is silly. If we are allowed to kill each other, why should we not be allowed to drink a defence potion? Filesharer.org - Upload your mugshot to support The Pirate Bay!
