there isn't a direct correlation between being a "noob" and online time. sure, newb, but not noob.

noob is a mindset that people with 5k+ hours still suffer from.

Roman 03-29-2013 10:25 PM

Pffff
 
Hehe. When did noob become an insult? Noob means new player, whats bad about being a new player? It means graal hasn't sucked their life from them like it does to the rest of us. Envy the "noobs".

A noob is not determined by hours, but by attitude

Who in the F voted 100 hours? I hope you where all just trolling. I would say your a noob up till 250 hours with decent stats (pks) from 250-500 pro noob, 500-1999 pro 2k=elite. I have seen some tards with 200 or so hours that still don't seem to know whats going on.

I agree with all the previous posts in this thread, the word noob gets thrown around all the time and is now seen as more of an insult. In fact from time to time when I go a trollin I call random players noob just to piss them off. I don't get why ppl get mad when called a noob.

I sincerely hope you're kidding.

Maybe it depends on what you do...
If you PK then you should probably have kills > deaths
If you spar then you should probably have wins > losses
If you tower then you should probably be able to do something like take over a tower on your own.

If that Agito Baka scum bumped this again I would've let all my **** fly at him

Jacob 06-21-2013 01:26 PM

Does agito Baka know that 'Baka' means idiot..?

NovaTheWarrior 06-21-2013 09:28 PM

I try to help new players out. Although I get picked on still due to my hours. honestly kills, gralats and kindness is what makes someone a nonnoob.

Zinnia 06-21-2013 09:33 PM

I have over 2000 hours and still get called a noob by people with less hours than me sometimes. "Noob" barely means newbie or a new player anymore, its just an offensive term now basically, used by everyone.

reyalS 06-21-2013 09:57 PM

I don't understand the options on the poll, a person is technically no longer considered a noob when they understand the game and can behave in a more professional manner.

NovaTheWarrior 06-21-2013 11:22 PM

Exactly

My thoughts exactly! When they understand the game and can behave in a mind manner they are no longer a "noob" but noob is barely used for new player. It is more of an offensive term used by graalians.

Used by any game community, really.

Thallen 06-22-2013 10:11 PM

It's beyond me why the word "noob" still even exists in 2013. I could never imagine myself using it. That should have been retired with phat and tight.

Billy 06-22-2013 10:28 PM

Hours don't mean crap. You can have 389129784 hours and be the worst player.

Blueh 06-22-2013 11:44 PM

"You will always be a noob to players with more hours than you, and a no lifer to those with less." -Someone on guild chat I forget who

Pazx 06-23-2013 12:18 AM

If you have ever said "no lifer" in any context whatsoever besides inverted commas you are probably a noob.

Crag 06-23-2013 12:33 AM

I always considered "noobs" just the emo assholes who populate most of the game


Although I could still be one and not know it - who knows!

It's all up to the viewer I guess

Ash Ketchum 06-23-2013 01:53 AM

I consider "Noobs" as people who have 2119 kills

Henry-graal 06-23-2013 02:10 AM

What

PennyShine 06-23-2013 04:10 AM

Hours don't necessarily tell if someone is a noob. For example, I probably wouldn't feel inclined to think of someone as a noob if he had 14 hours and 1036 pks and was in a decent family guild. However, if the same person with 14 hours had 64 pks and just joined SON, then one of my first thoughts would probably be "poor noob". Whatever your specialty is in Graal, you should be at least adequate at doing it. You don't have to be one of the top experts of it, but you should have a good idea of what you're doing. Asking for help doesn't make you a noob. But you shouldn't have to say "What is AA" or "Plz donate making gralats is too hard". If you're a pker, don't boost. If you're a sparrer, don't rage at every person you lose against and complain that the other person was lagging. If you're a gfx maker, don't steal graphics. If you're a farmer, don't set up a maze. If you're a bug catcher, don't whine when people take a bug that you wanted. If you're a towerer, don't be a hat chaser. And don't join SON. Some of those are really obvious, but they help to lessen how many people think you're a noob. Btw, standing in Graal City and roleplaying are not specialties. If that's what you spend most of you're time doing, you're most likely a noob. No, advertising dirty kik for 900 hours in Graal City doesn't do anything to get you out of noob status.

Pazx 06-23-2013 06:50 AM

What is AA?

TheRookie 06-24-2013 02:18 AM

people named GOAT will always be a noob. no matter how much mommy and daddy tries to get him outside of the garage.

D-Vader 06-24-2013 06:52 AM

Someone who is not a noob knows the difference between your and you're.

Minoc 06-24-2013 11:13 AM

From my point of view anyone who uses the term "noob" is probably a newbie.

DUCKY 06-24-2013 12:14 PM

In my opinion someone is a non noob when they stop asking for you to "pweese donate graaleats" and a non newb is someone who has a grip what to on the game. Newbs can be nice but never trust a noob >:3
