Why do people flame at others. You were new at this game before once werent you seriously. This is a forum not a place where pros come in and just own on the new players. Grow a heart. Be a man or women. And stop flaming on new players because they dont have the basic knowledge of the game. Maybe instead of you guys complaining about "scrubs" Help the player and maybe they wont be a newer player to the game. Honestly if your going to flame on people. Just quit gw or quit using these forums because at people your eventually going to rage quit gw. So just please keep your attitude off of this forum and just have a good time. This games downfall will be angry people.

Well said.

...But the anonymity of the Interwebs will always spawn arrogant trolls and flamers and there's little anybody can do about it. The normal course of action would be to inform a mod if it weren't mods that were being problematic.

LOL..

Welcome to the internet. Thick skin is required. If you get offended by something on a forum, you need to take a step back.

As much as i hate people who treat new players like idiots there is a line to be drawn. A majority of newer players don't have the capability to learn or to take advice. They seem to think instantly they are an expert in the game and all their decisions are correct. This is made worse by them then passing on this "knowledge" to other new players.

Its to those kinds of people i say screw you.

Agreed.
This is not a GW problem, or a GWG problem. This is a problem you will find on the entire internet.
Really, its just a bunch of people who have pent up anger/sexual frustration due to the Victorian style restraints that exist in society venting.

mikeydj99 · Feb 28, 2008, 05:46 PM // 17:46

I just think its uneeeded. Im not complaining. No one ever flames at me

Proudly being a r11 hero r5 glad r5 commander and almost 6 conq no one ever flames at me

^^ dont take that wrong way^^

Im just trying to show that good players are not always dicks. Its not worth it just play the game.

Please close this.

Agreed with Hawk and Malice.

I like to help new players who are willing to listen but when you get idiots who like to post their "pro builds" then i have a problem.

also there seems to be an anti guildwiki thing among the newbie crowd.

its your best friend for tracking down bosses and getting other info to be well informed.

well, for me a newbie question is never boring. but some know it all will always be waiting for the chance to flame someone or to make fun of them,
Dont take ofense and just ignore them.

I was a noob when I started with guildwars and did not know where to get information about the game, but not because I have more experience now I'm going to flame someone (not to say that I would not do it, since some people really ask for it).

Just have fun, that's what all is about. and develop a thick skin.

quickmonty · Feb 28, 2008, 06:04 PM // 18:04

I find that if a newb asks a question, for the most part he gets a civil answer. There are exceptions.

If someone asks with an attitude he is likely to get flamed. I have seen some that "yes, but" every answer given to them, and they end up getting flamed.

And then there are those threads that keep going and going long after the question was answered and the OP has said "thanks for the help"

Kattar · Feb 28, 2008, 06:14 PM // 18:14

Attitude is key also, as monty said.

If they seem to really want help or don't know anything, I don't mind helping.

If they're a jerk, I generally just move on.
