I find it laughable whenever someone calls me a noob tbh. If it bothers you that much use your ignore list more, but I can guarantee you that it will fill up pretty fast. If it's really that bad I suggest you turn your chat to friends or off so you don't have to deal with it at all. I promise you that Jagex will never make the word 'noob' reportable though.

Pirate Rosetta stone. Learn a language while you scape.

Sounds interesting, but these days how many people really speak Pirate?

When people call me a noob i just deal with it because there is really nothing I can do about it.

Noob really has no meaning, it can be taken however the other person wants to take it. An insult or a compliment. That why it isn't reportable IMO.

Why would it be offensive, it means "new player"...knowing myself that I am not one, I don't care at all when someone calls me a noob, I just laugh.

Depends on the person. If it is from someone who is funny, I dont care. However, if it is from a person that is arrogant and stuff, I would get really mad. Overall, I dont care much when being called a noob.

Actually, "newb" refers to a new player. "Noob" is supposed to be... well, insulting, I guess, but it's not really.

I'm 100% free-to-play!!!

Message me, private chat is always on. :)

One of my friends came up with own definition for the word. Now whenever someone calls him a noob he thanks them for calling him an awesome person :lol:

Noob is just a word. If you are offended by people insulting you over the internet then I feel bad for you :oops:

If someone calls you a noob, call them a noob back.

Not necessarily. A PJer will be called a noob, and he hasn't really gained or beaten anything from wasting his opponent's food.

 

Usually if I get ca;;ed noob, I'll think I don't deserve to be called that way so there isn't anything to be ticked about.

Matt: You want that eh? You want everything good for you. You want everything that's--falls off garbage can

Camera guy: Whoa, haha, are you okay dude?

Matt: You want anything funny that happens, don't you?

Camera guy: still laughing

Matt: You want the funny shit that happens here and there, you think it comes out of your [bleep]ing [wagon] pushes garbage can down, don't you? You think it's funny? It comes out of here! running towards Camera guy

Camera guy: runs away still laughing

Matt: You think the funny comes out of your mother[bleep]ing creativity? Comes out of Satan, mother[bleep]er! nn--ngh! pushes Camera guy down

Camera guy: Hoooholy [bleep]!

Agreed. As I looked at this topic somebody called me a noob. They asked me my cooking level, I said 98 and they called me a no-life noob. Guess what, they only had 67 cooking and were combat 81...She also said anyone above 90+combat has no life, which I just responded, this game has been out for 7 years.

Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.

Am I offended when I am called a Noob?

 

 

 

No. Not only that... but I don't even use the term anymore. People in the game have used it so much incorrectly that it is now rendered useless when you use it in correct terms. I personally think of the term 'Noob' to be someone who is new and not familiar with something. In other words, they are new to the game. I don't think of it as an offensive term. People in the game have however made it to be an offensive word.

 

 

 

I believe the actual meaning and the new (player-made) meaning is the difference between Jagex saying it is not offensive and you feeling offended by it.

 

 

 

I don't mean to offend anyone in the game. Even if for some reason someone angers me and I am unable to laugh it off I still would not resort to the term 'Noob', because that would make me a hypocrite.

Most People that refer to me as a noob just don't have a large enough vocabulary in order to come up with something better, so i silently note that they are ill-educated. :shock:
