Is that a good reason to respect a troll? If you are mastered, WHO CARES? Whoop-de-doo, you've played a lot. While it may mean they have better manners, that's not always true. In fact, many are just plain arrogant. Even mastered pirates can be "noobs" in the definition of the word. Not, newbs or newbies, NOOBS. A noob is interchangeable with: Griefer, Troll, Flamer, or Just Plain Annoying. A newb is new to the game. They are homonyms, not synonyms. Calling a "noob" a "newb" and vice-versa isn't always true.

I agree. Even if someone is mastered they still shouldn't be calling people noobs.
I was at Darkhart abassa the other day and I put up a defense booster on my staff, the fifty asked me to stop and I did. Then she started saying "pirate guy is a noob." Then she got her friend to start saying I'm scared of Darkhart. I mean come one seriously!

Forgot about meh.

ANYWHO, yes it does take more maturity to walk away than to argue. However, if you are a good arguer, it is quite entertaining...

Many pirates who began playing relatively close to when the game launched could tell you that the atmosphere has changed dramatically. The good old days as they're commonly referred to is exactly what they were, the times when players had the pirate spirit and held their common manners and courtesy when greeting/interacting with others.

However, the mood switched around a year ago when PvP reached an all time high. When "jumping" was first introduced, the drama and rudeness began. Like some posted on this thread already, the best thing to do is beat them at their own game. Many players began "jumping" me in a PvP match where it'd be 4 on 1.. in retaliation, I took a few Officers with me and stood on Abassa for a short while and sure enough, we got the PvP and beat them at their own game. It seems as though the fame and reputation is high among the younger players, but that doesn't speak for all.

The best thing to do with players who are basically rude is just ignore them, report them, or change servers. Sure you may lose out on a certain spot but it beats the headache of having to deal with someone there who is aggravating. I'm disappointed that Disney took away so many of the quiet servers because it gave space to those who wanted it. But the dramatic and tense atmosphere has seemed to die down, but there's still small extent to which it exists, mainly on the full servers - the closer you are to Abassa, the more essence you'll get.. not implying that everyone who goes to Abassa acts that way

There are two ways with dealing with people that like to annoy and mutter "noob" frequently...

As the old saying goes, "kill 'em with kindness"...aka "Hey you're right! I am new to this! Perhaps YOU, with your vast knowledge, could help further me along in this most tedious of games?"

Or try this...just make sure you have a friend who's in on it to do this with you...

Annoying Person: You're such a noob!
Me: OMG, did he just call me a "noob" ?!?
Friend: Apparently he must be new to gaming or hasn't caught onto the latest trend...
Annoying Person: Huh?
Me: When you say the word "noob", you're pronouncing it wrong...
Friend: Yes, it's actually pronounced "No-Oh-Bee"...
Me: Y'know, like Garfield's friend Odie...it sounds like that...
Annoying Person: What?
Me: People are no longer called "noob" cause of the mis-pronounciation...
Friend: Nowadays the proper term is "Newper" which is short for new person...
Me: I think you're right...this guy hasn't gamed long or just doesn't know the new slang...
Friend: He's such a "Newper"...
Me: Yep...go away Newper until you learn the proper gaming terms...
Friend: LOL! Such a Newper!

Wow that is such a great idea but you probably have to go over the dialogue first
