The problem is you have annoying, begging noobs and you have the good respectable newcomers whose reputations are ruined. Getting called a noob for refusing to trade or for not wearing armour is stupid. Getting called a noob for paying somebody 1000gp to show him the bank... *cough* me *cough* is stupid. Then again, I'd rather be called a noob than an idiot.

I got called a noob when i said the mid G.E value of proselyte armor correctly. :mellow:

LOL What were you thinking doing something like that? :angry:

 

The word noob is overrated. It means nothing. It's just used by arrogant elitists to make themselves feel better about themselves.

I love playing Cwars at peak times.

Last few times I've been called a 'noob' for everything I do.

If I hit a 50 to finish someone, I'm a noob.

If I take little damage when I get piled by low level players I'm a noob.

If I use ancients I'm a noob.

If I switch attack styles to avoid there protection prayers I'm a noob.

Hell if I finally die when I have 5+ players all attacking me I'm a noob.

 

Its a buzz word which is too popular and has been for a long time.

To be completely honest I find it really funny, you know the player which is using the term will 99.9% of the time have less game time under there belt. In affect making them the 'noob'.

 

Only term I will ever use is newbie if someone is new to a part of the game or if I'm new to part of the game.
