I never denied that I was wrong in using the term noob over newb, and I appreciate the correction. I was merely exaggerating my response by inferring my post was a experiment. A joke, or poke perhaps. Either way, I'm here to have fun. RS is a game... to most at least, but I think the important thing is that it stays fun. :thumbsup: This discussion? I was merely trying to create a reason to make noob a less used term. Do I have a personal investment in this discussion? Only as much as I will allow. Did I go about it the wrong way? Depends. I learned that Noob is not the same as Newb. And I have provoked many Forumites to post their views concerning my observations and it's irrelevance. Responses that include perspectives which I had not considered. Bots? I spaced that they even existed. Great counter argument xpandax. =D> From another perspective I have tested the waters of this forum and found them to be teeming with people who are very passionate in there responses, and very ready to correct someone when they are wrong. If I was lesser man, I could take advantage of this aspect. But I am lazy, and generally a nice guy, so investing that much effort in causing someone else suffering seems silly, not to mention the probability that it would pay out is questionable. I'd probably end up looking like a boorish angry troll. I'd like to thank Paw_Claw for the correction and just wanted to point out that I had not interpreted your post as venomous; merely acknowledged the potential for venom to be present in said post. I was impressed to say the least. So... Yeah. I was wrong. This is definitely not the audience I expected to be pitching my rant at. Its just the majority or RS players seem to be way into the grinding to have fun, and I can't help but see massive amounts of players getting flamed for flaming. Whats the point? If you ignore them they will leave. You can't force someone to stop doing something. You have to let them find a reason; Like the fact that the people they're flaming are the same which provide their essentials (which they are apparently not not <_< ) or the people they are trying to flame are not getting burned.
