These people try to get under your skin and obviously its working great:P

Its kind of like those runners in team arena that all focus on running from you. They dont do it to farm easy faction..they do it to break you and piss you off. I think its funny personally and ive been part of that scene a few times..of course it helps if your on the giving end of it and not the recieving. Just ignore them and move on..saves many headaches.

I don't think you got it. Being a troll isn't cool. If you have to take your fun in this game from trolling and annoying players, then there is something seriously wrong with you.

My favorite is when one time i was in the 4 man arena, there was a very nice set team, i kept getting with a few of the same ppl every time as well, we fought the same group about 4 times, every time we played them they posted the famous "u noobs suck", "go back to ascalon" and the likes... well, then i landed on a perfect team.... we ended up beeting them about 15 - 20 times when they kept coming back with randomn teams, we ended up going 60 and 0 before some of us had to go..... (not bragging here) but the most we said was "who is the noobs?" they all were pissed and called us cheaters and such........ in my eyes a noob is someone who has no good sportsman skills and thinks they r good cause they can sit there and run ppl down....

Either learn to ignore them, or learn to flame them back. It's that simple.

No, i understand very well and i dont make a living off being a troll. Ive participated a few times and didnt do it for hours but im giving you inside information. It WAS funny. I never said it was right. Sometimes you have such stubborn fools with huge egos that stay in there for hours just to prove a stupid point. This is why trolls exist. You see a team like that..just disconnect and move on next match. They only stay because they have plenty of bait. I didnt believe my buds when i joined them but there really are people that stupid. Your not proving ANYTHING to them. The longer you stay and hold up your fat ego like a golden egg the longer your actually making yourself look like a complete moron. I dont condone this behavoir and simply just admitted that ive taken part in it a time or two. So once again..just move on and the kids will get bored and let the game return to normal. Havent you ever learned how to get rid of bullies?

I hear the word more when we beat other teams than I do when we lose. I'll never figure how someone can say a thing when you just whipped them.

I turn off my all a lot when I'm playing, I've never regretted it yet.

gg, no trash talk back is better.

It's just my opinion but you trash talk friends. If I beat my brother I'm going to talk a bit, but I don't get the whole trash talking strangers. I don't think it's fun for the person talking or listening.

"I hear the word more when we beat other teams than I do when we lose. I'll never figure how someone can say a thing when you just whipped them."

Simple answer:

- So you lost to noobs. What does it make you?

Agreed - more often than not I've had the "noob" abbuse after winning - it's sort of losing it's meaning

Another rather funny time was quite recent - I was in competition arenas and 2 of my team dropped - leaving just me (monk) and this other guy playing warrior - regardless we continued, I was playing boon prot, and he was doing quite niceley and we killed 3 of their 4 quite easily, we had one left - This guy left was a tank that was pretty much filly equipped on +armor skills, had watch yourself, healing hands... pretty much we couldn't kill it, or come close. Then one of the corpses on the floor started shouting abbuse at me (the monk) saying "Monk u rnt shit, neither are u warrior, u cant even kill 1 person, noobs" - despite the fact we both decimated the rest of the team. I quite literally did ZERO damage to this warrior - and he didn't do much more to me, so I'm a noob because I couldn't contemplation of purity a warrior to death. in the end we quit.

problem is, people are like that on the internet. What started out as a mere term for someone new to the game, has become an insult. it's been an insult for years now.

Newb however is fine. That is still accepted (by most people anyway) to be an unoffensive term for someone new to a game/forum/way of *whatever* whereas noob has degraded into a "omg you're so stupid" kinda thing. It's an easy way to insult someone whilst not being told off/temp-banned for cursing.

People that call others noobs in the offensive way really need to get some friends so they don't feel so darn insecure.

They are noobs themselves who have no understanding of team or competive play and more likely will be the first to leave group.

That ranger used a preparation and than barrage.
Told him to stop using preparations with barrage and read skill descriptions
He continued.
I continued.
He continued.
I left after i found out it was him casting firestorm, and not the ele that already left eatlier.

If you are copping this and you beat him try this one;

"dude you were just beaten by noob, what's lower than a noob...........
a) you
b) you
c) you
d) all of the above"

i`ll never get what people think who have to call you noob after your team beat their team.
do they just want to show that they don´t know the meaning of the word ? or demonstrate the absence of any logical thought or worse the absence of any brain activity at all ?

anyway it happens to me nearly everytime i play my prot monk in random arena.

since i know it`s full of warriors i always take amity with me and using it ends with some enemy warrior calling me "amity noob" after losing the match (or sending me hate tells like "you §&%# amity noob")

i always reply "i`m using it only against noob warriors. works fine"
that usually shuts them up

Exactly, that's what pisses me off sometimes. Ironically it's the people who think themselves superior that can't come up with a more original put down. The worst are the muppets who put you on ignore and PM you "noob" repeatedly...

People like that can't be reasoned with. Like little kids. More often than not that's exactly what they are.

I do love it in Tombs though when a team you've just beat call you noobs, makes my day!

I just think "enjoy making a new PuG as your team disappears one by one when you're dumped into district 4..."

We were out experimenting with builds in team arenas and we come upon this balanced group. We obviously lost to a more decent group since our build was just a trial but they were really jerks about it. We find them again so again they kept calling us noobs and kept saying we suck, we already said it was experimental but they were real ----s about it. We really don't care so we don't bother retaliating and move on.

Another time was when we made a quick spike build and we took it to HoH. We fight and go up against this group, we kill about half their team but get ourselves killed in the process. Again it was a good try for a new build but again they start. They go "stupid noobs", "YOU GUYS JUST GOT ----ing OWNED!!" and "go back to farming ettins or something". Which is so ironic because we killed most of them in the begginning and that guy was wearing 15karmor. We just didn't know our real flaws yet so we lost, good try and more practice then.

I find stupid people like these everywhere and it sickens me. So I guess most noobs call others noobs. I find ignorance is different from stupidity and people think they are so good because they know something the other doesn't. The only time I could call a person a noob is when they are really serious about something stupid. Like a ranger saying he owned you because he comboed Ignite Arrows with Barrage, now that is a real dumbass right there. If people actually gave a good match and played decently but still lost, I'd simply say gg and nice job. Wouldn't bother calling everyone I beat a noob and everyone who are less experienced either.

Dude it's just a game, you noob!

Finally, someone who understands... Is it really that dramatic if someone calls you a name in a video game?

I had some people call me noob in CA before. I just ignore them because when I go back to CA, I usually end up fighting him/her and so I kill him/her and just ask "who's the noob?"

i read somewhere that a guy said that we should call noob callers goobs so lets start a thread called "Goobs" hehehe

A User Name · Nov 25, 2005, 03:42 PM // 15:42

Yeah i hate when poeple are always saying noobs in pvp. The best time was when we went against this one team and lost, they then really started the trash talking and "noob calling" So we leave and adjust our build and by some miracle are against these poeple again. They rember and are expecting a win only to lose within 1 min by the adjusted build. So basically we had our fun repaying with interest the trash talking while. So just ignore the noob callers or flame them bac, but if the other team doesnt do it just say gg, or if it wasn't nothing at all.
