The use of the word "noob", its most annoying word ever!

As a little extra, people on this forum who use the phrase "kkthxbai" or any variation of that.

- People who whisper you wanting to buy an item and insisting on buying it 1k below your price, even though you're selling it already at half-price >_>.

- People who really want to buy your item, realize they have no cash, tell you to contact them later... only to find out they've bought it from someone else.

i dont know why you people stereotype all young players, im 15 years old, AND Mexican, and often random guys tell me in group that i sound even more mature than a 20 year old, and that i have way better english than they do.

Not all the young people are morons, just the ones you've encountered ARE morons :P

-Dont take Racism into this comment, the reason why i said im Mexican, is because very often while AB'ing, i talk in spanish and people start calling me beaner, or Mexican sh17 and stuff like that, its hard not be american in an american game, and no i didnt violated any law by buying this game even thou im lower than 18 years old, my brother bought it and he stopped playing, so i took over his account

Well America at the moment, is a little TOO diversity based i'd say. Sometimes like if im in a room or a class with someone who is say maybe black or something, I feel like im in trouble for being white. Not by him, but by the law or the authorities.

Personaly if I weren't white, the only thing that would offend me is how paranoid people are about offending me.

HOWEVER! What is my point?

Here it is:

Where there are rules, there are rule breakers. And we're kind of in the era of diversity rules rather than diversity comfortability.

Kind of what is happening at the moment is:

1.Diversity acceptance is atleast half-new to parents and teachers
2.They over emphasize on the kids
3.The kids get tired and need to vent
4.They start insulting people
5.Some adults need to vent too because of pressure in college or work
6.Online is a "safe" easy way to do it
7.People are stupid enough to think of it as no-one being real

We're just being pushed too far.

Anyway thats my theory.

I find it no different than "your mom" jokes. Just treat them like they have a bad haircut, something sticking in their teeth, or food on their chin. They'll feel like idiots and regret resorting to their shallow humor.

Traders who always ask for "offers" even on simple items like a regular skillbook, and then if you're offer is not what they want then they cancel trade and don't respond to you, even when you are trying to change your offer.

Tender Wolf · Jan 24, 2008, 03:14 AM // 03:14

I don't know why but it gets annoying when people start spamming in town "WTS green weapon! Req. 9 w/e!" Who wants to buy it if they don't know what it is? Wouldn't be that much harder to type out the name instead.

Accursed · Jan 24, 2008, 04:13 AM // 04:13

people who say that I'm a loser/noob/moron for being 12 yrs old... (my dad originally bought the account from his friend evetually giving it to me)

-or-

people who say i'm a noob because i can't keep one character... umm.. hello people? it's called being versatile, and not sticking with one character for the WHOLE 2 YEARS!

thor hammerbane · Jan 24, 2008, 04:23 AM // 04:23

1) Elitists in any form of the game. Encounter 7 of these assfaces a day.
1a) think their build is the best, and constantly flame the other team if he loses or wins.
1b) think they are gods because they have fow armor. Happened today. I told him he wasn't a god but then he was like "BUT LOOK AT MY LEET ARMOR AND LEET WEPS LOLOL". No exaggeration, that's exactly what he said.
1c) People ranking others in RA. If the person that did this was sitting beside me, I'd rip his/her heart out. No1 gives a shit that your rank 300 in RA. It's a place to come and screw around and have a good time. Had a bad experience with this today..got ranked like 7 times.

2) Dumb traders. Everyone ever heard of haggling? I feel I am a good trader; I do not run on greed. When I sell items, I sell them for maybe 60-70% of their actual value. When I buy items, I offer 100-110% of the value. But, even though I'm more than generous, there's still the guys who offer half my discounted price, or ask another 50% on my already generous price. Also, the lack of haggling. From my trades 3/20 guys know how to bargain for a deal and compromise.

3) Insulting new players. I always will go out of my way to help an inexperienced player with pve/pvp. Of course, referring back to rule 1a). I will not help the guy if he already thinks he is the ruler of guild wars. If he/she simply say "I think my build can be improved, any suggestions?". I'll explain to them the proper dynamics and help them out. We were all noobs some times, so go easy on them.

Shadowlance. · Jan 25, 2008, 03:43 AM // 03:43

When people use the word "noob" - it makes them sound pretty silly and petty. I especially hate it when I want to experiment with an odd build in unrated hero battles. I often even warn my opponent as the battle starts that I'm build testing. But invariably if I lose people say "gg noob" or if I win people say "I can't believe I lost to a noob". I just want to yell "it was a build test!" but I usually stay silent - best to starve trolls rather than feed them is my policy.

maraxusofk · Jan 25, 2008, 05:25 AM // 05:25

people who call other nubs when they lose <---LOLOLOL

ppl who try to bs and tell u they have a c/o of xxx and pm me a day later saying that person retracted <------we all know u are lying, so just cut the crap plz.

You sound 15 to me....

StormDragonZ · Jan 25, 2008, 08:57 AM // 08:57

1) People who try to beat a game without actually knowing what is going on. Look at Prophecies and the infamous Drok run.

2) People who LFG for the mission Tihark Orchard.

3) People who think Necromancers who are not Minion Masters or don't use Spiteful Spirit are not worth having.

4) People who say GLF and don't accept you because you're not the right class they want. This happens more often on my Warrior and Mesmer than any other character.

5) People who try to get girlfriends or boyfriends on GW. Granted, if you meet someone on here and enjoy talking, I'm fine, but come on, reality does need some of your attention.

6) People who consider Normal Mode harder than Hard Mode.

7) People who call Tomes "tombs".

8) People who are Ritualists that want to buy Ranger bows. This one still eludes me.

9) My last one: Most guilds.

EPO Bot · Jan 25, 2008, 09:21 AM // 09:21

People who complain about your Ele build being "mindless" wile they get pwnzoratored by it. Actually, thats more amusing then it is irritating. Especially when the fight goes on for ten minutes and i don't get interrupted a single time.

pumpkin pie · Jan 25, 2008, 09:46 AM // 09:46

Am Fah Marksman drops a Kukris.... what the....

then minutes later, Am Fah Assassin drops a Longbow....

that's pretty annoying i think.

but that's is slightly better then foes that do not drop anything.

MithranArkanere · Jan 25, 2008, 12:41 PM // 12:41

* Guilds composed of a leader and officers and some members that MUST blindly serve the officers, or face a kick.

* Level 1..13 people in Vizunah Square. That mission needs an 'Sunspear Battle'/Travel to the North-like effect seriously.

* People that pretend other to make the missions and quests for them, and do not listen when you give them info or tips:
- You: "You should bring skill X", "try not to aggro", "it' easier if you..."
- Guy: "u meik mah mizzion awr naught?".

* gg, plz, and most acronyms. Specially while playing with people in different languages. What the hell is HGBC?

* People that invite other people, and kick them if they do not have ready the build they want. It's so hard to give a template and ask: "Can you equip this, please?"

*People that try to scam others and insult anyone that reveal their lies, saying things like 'Mind your won business'. Mate, if you try to hoax a newbie, IT'S my business, since I was a newbie too.

*People that add 'no noob prices' in the Party serach panel trade list.
Ok, a price you don't accept is not a dumb price. Maybe for you an inscribed jitte costs 100+75e, but others won't pay more than 50k for that.

*No inscriptions traders, no inscribed drops worldwide.

...welcome to the world of an MMO/online game! The vast majority of people in the world only care about themselves.

Neo Nugget · Jan 25, 2008, 02:42 PM // 14:42

People who say
-pl0x
-soz.......they don't even sound remotely close to please, sorry>.>

King Farquaad · Jan 25, 2008, 02:59 PM // 14:59

when you run someone to a location and they dont give u the money. they just log out.....

DarkWasp · Jan 25, 2008, 05:47 PM // 17:47

-Using Vent or TS. I just hate voice com. If you really want to get the most out of a PvP group, get some friends in the area and have LAN partys.

-The people who assumed that I was using a specific build when I had mending on my assasin.

-People that go on Greater than/Less than wars
Like:
lol RS < GW
no lol RS <<<<<<<<< GW
LOL more leik GW >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RS
....
GW >>>>>>>>>>> sex
LOL
WTF
GW + Sex >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all!!!!

-People that never leave Pre-Searing. So you have your title? Come out to post and show us that you exist! Theres a whole game out here, and if you can spend months of non-stop charr leveling. You'll do really well out here.

-The fact that Arena.Net hasnt added any new emotes other than dances since the release. Emotes add personality to the game, there really is no reason to not make them.

-The fact that Arena.Net still hasnt fixed the animation freezing on waterfalls and stormbows. I swear I reported it 6 times! I even pointed out that you can see a frozen animation waterfall in the Kurzick area in the Factions trailer!

- Q Q DOES NOT LOOK LIKE SOMEONE CRYING! IT LOOKS LIKE A CRAB! Crabs are about 80x cooler than someone with too much eye shadow! Please do not drain the awesomness of the crab!

-There are about 2 dervishes in the whole game who dont have "reaper" or "derv" in their name. Where is the creativity?

-Being an assasin doesnt make you a ninja.

-Being a mesmer or ranger doesnt make you a pirate. And you dont have to hate assassins for being ninjas.. BECAUSE THEY ARENT!

-People who still use the all channel for selling.

-Monks.... Out of the 1,452,425 them who play, about 534 of em wont quit or AFK the first time somebody dies.

-Domain of Anguish... ooof...

-PuGs... Trust me, I was around before heroes, and the PuGs werent any better back then.

-Nudity... Its non existant in the game... Thank God! But, holy crap people... You aren't naked when you are in your underwear. Stop pretending like you're naked! You're no better than a buncha kids at a middle school sleepover party who play truth or dare and end up in their boxers and make a big stink about it. YOU ARENT NAKED TILL ITS ALL OFF! GLASSES AND BRACES INCLUDED!

If you really want to say you're naked in the game, find a way to hack the server. (If you do, you might want to live in bomb shelter, because I got a few bombs ready to drop apon the appearance of a nude mod. First i'll kill the mod maker, then everyone who downloaded it. Then i'll threaten to bomb Arena.Net if they dont change the code up a lil to prevent such mod.)

-WoW fanboys on the loose! If you have the money or hacking skills to get an account and sit around yelling "GW SUX! WOW ROCKS!" Why not save up for a Koenigsegg CCX or steal one, that way you can atleast LOOK cool.

Alright well... I better not go any further today. I might blow a gasket.

Oh but I gotto put this here:

I understand that my opinion is atleast 90% different than the average player in GW. You don't have to agree with me and I wont dislike you for it. If you do agree with me, any tips on how to deal with these people/situations please tell.

Thorondor Port · Jan 25, 2008, 09:51 PM // 21:51

Darkwasp you complain so much. Oh and for the pre-searing one I disagree. Pre searing is the most amazing part of the game.
