Returned3 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Moments ago, i had just finished alching my yew longs. Ah, what a great moment. Imediately, i decided to make more cash. I looked into my bank and saw 25k raw trouts. I decided to sell them all. "Selling raw trouts 50gp each", i said Someone traded me and asked how many did i have, i showed him the 25k trout and this was his response; "Trouts are 25 each, Noob" Aint much of a rant but, whether i was selling the trout at the right price or not, I could not understand why he had called me this word "noob". Did the guy have a great dislike for raw fish? Does he go around "fixing" prices? Did he get offended by my sale of fish? Or maybe he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I know a short-tempered lvl 94 complaining about a small incident occuring with a lvl 53 concerning the price of raw fish is kinda pointless. But, was the word "noob" really nessescary? Lots of posts have been about the definition of the term "noob" Was I really acting noob-ish by *possibly* overpricing MY fish? Am I a noob for ranting here?

hells_mishap Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I think you care too much about being called a noob. Don't let it bother you really. It's probably not the first time you've been called a noob and certainly not the last. EDIT: Btw your trout price wasn't over priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WookieeMania12 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Look, if the price was wrong (I do not know about trout prices), I wouldn't call you a noob (that guy you mentioned is clearly a non-thinker). That word "noob" is probably the most pointless way of being "insulted". Many people use it just to feel tough, but if you are called a "noob", just find something witty for a good comeback, "Thats Mr. Brenda Noob to you, mister!"

Final_Mercy Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Think of it this way, You're a noob, he's a nerd (noob is mainly in game; nerd is real life, which is a lot worse :P) You are not alone, Our Father, God will always be with you.

Warrager Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Meh, people who use the term "noob" to describe others are the real "noobs". Your trout prices are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptogram Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Some people are just morons. Most of these sort of people call others noob just before they tele away, which makes them cowards too. I had some guy trying to buy 50 shark 50k. So I trade him and he puts up 50gp and accepts. I decline (of course) and he calls me a noob! Lmao Don't follow me. You might not make it.All your accounts are belong to us now.If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzman2b Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 First off trout is worth 40gp each not 50gp and definatley not 25gp each :wink: . But players call others noobs perhaps to fell superior to someone. Or because they are insecure :shame: But don't let it bother you. EDIT: Warrager what you said is a bit of an oxymoron as you yourself call other players noobs on this forum :shame: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingtygy Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 In my opinion, there really is no definite price. You can sell anything you want, for however much you want. The way i think of it, the suggested price is only there because that is the price that you will be able to sell your items at the easiest without losing money. You could sell buckets for 1k each, and you may have a hard time selling them (no one wants to buy buckets at all) but your not overpricing em so much as your just selling them for your price. If people dont like your price, too bad for them. Thats just my opinion anyways, who cares. Obviously, you just had a very common encounter with a cranky, mean person. There's nothing you can really do but ignore em. If there was a rant for every time this happened, well..... you get my point, there'd be alot of rants. You definetly were unfairl called a noob. No one really deserves to be called a noob, except in a joking manner, with your friends or something. Even low levels should only be called newbie, really. Just accept things the way they are....

Huta Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 ...If there was a rant for every time this happened, well..... you get my point, there'd be alot of rants... There already are a lot of rants. Just go down the front two pages, maybe 3, 4 rants about that one word? Just ignore it, seriously. Who cares if you get called a "noob" by some 10 year old? Well, appearently the thread author does... :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Returned3 Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 Yea well, i gotta think of better comebacks than "Rofl" Maybe "Welcome to my ignore list" etc. And whats with people saying "I dont offer" during trades, are they trying to act cool, or they just dont know the price and are too afraid to let people know. 00:00:0500:00:0400:00:0300:00:0200:00:0100:00:00 Break the Walls down!

swordwindtrtrtrt Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I just find it funny when somebody calls me a noob for something like that. Its just like them admitting that you're better than them or that they're jealous of an item that you have. A good example is ancienting in castle wars, your freezing people and doing them considerable damage, because they were stupid enough not to bring either mage defence or a range weapon they just call you an "ancients noob" a sthats all they can do against you. Whilst I sympathise with people for the annoyance that the word "noob" can cause, Im getting sick of topics about the word "noob". By discussing it in every 5th topic we're probably making the problem worse. GF TIF. 9 November 2006 - 22 January 2008, when I could no longer stand the painted turd that is the Tip.It community.
