Don't Label People As "Noobs"

[Wee Man]

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

Jagex defines noob as a new person to the game. lets use that

[pkinyou]

I use the word noob for everyone, hifgher or lower, as an insult or a term of endearment lol. Buit not usually "Noob" usually narb, nub, nooblet lol :mrgreen:

 

 

 

I use narb mostly lol. if i do use it its because there actish noobish- like if someone is "training range" on black dragons with bone bolts and there like lvl 30 "Want1ng v1sag3 plawks" #-o

[Da_Latios]

Bah, post noob!

I disagree with their definition, my opinion is that the words Newb & Noob have different meanings, newbs mean new players and noob is used as an insult.

Hmm, im guessing that was ment to be funny, but i've not got a clue what you ment by it :thumbsup:

It was sarcasm. The internet is not supposed to give you a nice day.

 

I disagree with the whole term noob, as everyone has a different style of play and some people are not as inclined to video games as others. On the other hand, i will sometimes label people using cheap or inefficient tactics at pking or training spots as noobs, however, I do usually regret it.

That isn't actually Jagex' definition, it's the most common definition for it, so that's what they put it down as.

 

 

 

Although the definition is actually wrong.

[Bauke]

Noob doesn't have a meaning anymore. It originally comes from the word "newbie" which pretty much means "new player". Since the word got abused by people who probably got annoyed and found the need to use to swear or offend someone, the word noob doesn't mean anything anymore.

 

 

 

And every attempt to stop trying to label people as noobs will probably be futile. The most people that use the word noob in every context possible aren't the brightest people around.

[T. Skill]

Jagex define noob as a new person to the game. Lets use that

 

 

 

But the "correct" term for a new person to the game is actually "newb" not "noob". Which is really just newbie shortened. But in all actuality, what WeeMan is saying makes sense as, and it has been said many times before, "noob is an attitude and not a level.

[spyderownzyou]

newb is a new player

 

noob is normally a term for annoying/stupid person, or there mindset

 

and narb...you should look it up tbh ;) maybe you'd stop using it :lol: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=narb&defid=579622

Who cares of Jagex's definition is wrong.

 

 

 

Whatever Jagex says, goes.

You noob topic maker! :P Seriously though, their are a lot of distinct clan chats/communities that are opposed to this kind of thing. Not everyone is a jackass in a red tie.

[No_99_Melee]

Whoever made this topic is a noob...

[Cha0sx]

I use the term 'noob' to represent clueless, inexperienced people. Not necessarily based on levels. Your knowledge and the truth of what you speak mean a lot to me.

 

 

 

If you are a level 3 but don't say BS and know what you are talking about and don't annoy people, then to me you are not a noob.

 

 

 

Noob is an attitute, this has been said many times by many many people.

My thinking is that people who are inexperienced and clueless arnt noobs, they just need to learn :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

Oh btw, im not trying to stop people calling others noob, im trying to make people think before they decide someone is a noob. :wall:

[Master_Smither]

I don't use noob often but when I do it's because they are a cw pker, ignorant, [male reproductive organs], rude, or just disrespectful to me or my friends.

Im going to edit my definition a bit now, i think i'll add rudeness/Disrespectful to it.

[999134]

my favorite is noobcake?!

 

wtf sort of insult is that

 

and as for "your mums a noob" one just :wall: anyone who uses your mum comeback and then puts noob into it deserves to be locked in a dark room for the rest of there life

[godofskils]

i was a "skiller noob" for a few years, and in the end i just found it quite funny :) It works well to agree with everything they say as well, then they usually give up and walk off swearing :)

I use that approach a lot aswell, the effect is really amusing. My favourite noob quote of all is:

 

 

 

"pfft, your just a skill cape noob"

 

 

 

Whoever came up with that deserves a medal.

[Seogege]

To anyone who says JAGeX actually defines noobs as new players, that is not correct. Found both in their Knowledge Base and Music Selection is the word Newbie, but no where is "noob" actually found (not counting the Rules section). Newbies are the new players, noobs are the immature ones. Enough of that, onto my experiences.

 

 

 

Before the trade limit was enforced, I used to spend a lot of time training construction and selling the furniture. Back then you could actually make money off of oak furniture, before it was only worth 5 gp a piece. A person wanted to buy a bunch for a ridiculously low price (long time ago mind you) and I said no so he called me a noob. I find that when people don't get what they want, they call people noobs. Low levels can also call high levels noobs for calling them noobs too, which I find becomes an all out flame war. I wish that this would stop somehow but you get used to it...

[3hitm4g3u]

Amount of times I've been called a strength noob is probably equal to the amount of times I've called someone a defence noob, so I can't complain.
