I've been called a noob before on my second pirate. I have no idea why the person called me a noob. All I was doing was killing skels. The person who called me a noob had just come along and started attacking everything I attacked and then called me a noob. Pretty strange.

[Mr.LoveLocket]

do u expect a game to have 10000 considerate people?
Nope. Many people are newbies.
Just have fun and ignore them

If a pirate calls you noob because you're a young pirate then they don't know what they're talking about. Newb is short for newbie, meaning new pirate and wasn't designed as a cut, but more of a descriptive word for new player. Noob came along afterwards from people who couldn't spell, and has since been used as a descriptive word for players acting clueless and doing things that mess other people up.

We're all newbs at one point, so being called that shouldn't be necessarily a bad thing.

Personally I don't like name calling, and don't approve of guild members doing it. I have but one rule in my guild and that's "Respect all pirates in or out of the guild". However, the name calling thing is hard to enforce as I can't be everywhere all the time. But I try to lead by example as do most of the officers.

But when you think of it, noob and newb are basically the same thing, and both stand for newbie, or new player. Some people use it for other things just because they have no idea what they are doing. So next time someone calls you a noob, and you're a young pirate, just tell them, "why yes, I am a new player, thank you for pointing that out."

PvP those who call ya a noob see if that dosen't shut em up

[Diego Birmingham]

Newbies shouldn't be harrassed just because they are new. "Older" pirates should recognize dumb stuff THEY did when new to the game, and maybe even help the noobs.

Remember that may player have multiple pirates so a "noob" doing strange things could actually be an experienced player applying his or her knowledge about things that may be beyond you.

Term has been around for awhile now, usually someone being rude trying to announce you don't know what you are doing.

You are a noob, until you are like level 40, than automatically you switch over to "complete computer nerd."

So its a no win scenario with some folks.

My favorite noob story was the guy calling me a noob, and that i didn't know what i was doing using my dagger like that. Soon as he got the words out of his mouth my character popped level 40.

Very true... I and several others I know have test pirates and low level pirates doing all kinds of quirky things Now true - we dont do noobish actions like 'friend me!friend me!friend me!friend me!' or those 'cheezy pickup lines' (the true markings of new immature players) - but - I'm sure a few times I've looked silly being in a few locations (lik KH getting gernades by myself at L20... I don't need the help, so I probably looked very noobish doing that )
