noob? lawl easy

ever call one before? ever been call one before? what about these comments below me defining them?

Listen well

N.O.O.B = INFINITE INSULTS

r.i.p

when I was new to mmos I was told it was ment for "annoying pricks who don't know what they're doing" rather than ppl who are weaker than you. Never actually use this word due to bad experience with maplestory where ppl think since u just started its okay for ppl 200 lvls higher than you to camp in your areas stealing your monsters or just hit a bunch of monsters and chase you til you die. You really can't expect someone to have expensive equips n' mad skills rite of the bat. Think the real newbs are the ones who go around doin' crap liek tat since they obviously have nothing better to do.  >.>

I've always thought NOOB was a slang or pun for Newbie. But I never use the word that way. Usually when I call someone a noob, it'd be because:

1.  A high level with the skills of a newbie or someone who sucks at SO-AND-SO game even after having played it a repetitive amount of time.

2. Someone who acts like a newbie, stealing kills or items.

3. Or just simply someone who's plain annoying and I just wanna strangle that person right there and then.

I normally don't use the word till it's actually necessary. In my sense, a noob is someone who's worst than a newbie even though he should know better and has more experience.

Well, for me, a noob is a person that does not improve even after hours of constant repetitions but with that said if they do improve then they fall out of the noob category, so I rarely call anyone a noob. XD

Actually Newbie is the beginner Noob is the person with high Lv and high Exp butlike going around killing people and making it seem like they are weak but are not. And the annoying person who constantly spams the game

Nah I don't think a noob is a beginner. We all have been beginners, and beginners got the right to answers, and surely we can't deny them the right to know? If we scold beginners just because they don't know yet, it's like yelling to an infant "Why the h*** don't you know about this??! You're so stupid!"

Noobs are people who already know about those answers but still rant and whine and spam about it. A beginner might ask "what do you need to do with this quest?", but a noob just complains "this quest is SOOOOOO stupid! People designed the game are stupid! They have, like, a really stupid brain!" See? The beginner is asking politely but the way noobs speak, as though their opinions worth higher than anything, as though they know everything and superior to you and me.

Yeah I had the annoyed feeling when somebody screwed up in team, or didn't heal you fast enough and you died. But then, what if his/her internet was slow and their gameplay didn't catch up? Can you blame the internet on them now? Those people didn't intend what they did, but noobs do, and some noobs actually enjoy taking the mick out of you.

In general, noobs are those who flap their arms around and yelling "AHHHHAHAHA you suckers I know everything, you're nothing and I am awesooooommmmm!"

  To me, Noob means a beginner, a loser, or someone who doesnt know what theyre doing. and this word is only used in online games(i think...) when ur new, u say to people "im a noob" then they will help u and u give u money and stuff . u can also call some people noob when they always loose in pvp, or cause a party to screw up. i sometimes wanna use this word in conversations with my friends and other people that i know but im kind of thinking twice coz it might make me sound nerdy. lol

Well for me I'v always used Noob for the idiots that think they are right about everything and noboby else's oppinion matters exept there, and players that beg for hours on end or along those lines anyways. But all in all it is prolly the worst/lamest insult to use. So i try not to use it to much. lol

But for a New Player i used Newb or Nub cause they really are new players and cant be expected to know all the tricks and secrets right from the get go. So comparing them to "Noobs", to me isnt right. So i try to be nice to them, as long as they arnt the begging/whining type of Newbs that dont even try to learn/get anywhere in the game and want everything handed to them. those ones are on the "Noob" side

hmm... noob means ofcourse someone new in game, who need to learn about it and how to play his own character. If someone doesn't know any of thoose he is noob. Personally for me it concern players who kick out others from "rooms" just cause they come now and they want to play there in this moment. It's not kinda bad word, it can insult if someone throw it just to feel better.

I think it was originally meant as a derogatory term for new players too. I think that would be the correct use for it, if they do something more experienced players find stupid.

Personally though, I use it whenever someone irritates me for whatever reason. Its like my online alternative swear word that isn't as abusive as conventional ones  XD

 It's derogatory term for someone new to something. Someone extraordinarilly ignorant of something, worse than a newbie.

It just stands for newbie,someone who is new to the game. I don't know why it's used offensively...

Plus,there's always someone better than you in any game...making everyone n00bs in comparison to their seniors.

I hate the word "noob", too offensive.

Anyway English is not my native language :) am not proper to comment on it

i believe this is the ultimate definition of noob:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=noob

I think most people just use the word "Noob" to insult others, despite if the others are real newbies or not, actually it never matters.

Since insults like A-hole or similar worse ones can get you in serious problems (you can report such stuff to GMs), people just throw around "Noob" to get away easy, at least that's how I see it. I never heard that a person got banned because he/she used "Noob" to often, though most people feel pretty offended to the word "Noob". That's why I think "Noob" should just be handled the same way as A-hole and other worse insults.

I personally, use rarely "Noob" at all since I don't like it too. Sometimes I throw it back to the idiots it came from but mostly I use it as a joke between my friends.

Noob and Newb get confused all too easy and usually by some moronic 12 year old pimple who's trying to act tough and big online. Its online: dude, you're not tough, smart or suave.

Everyone starts off as a newbie, but only the real asses become noobs.

The word "Noob" is a negative comment and labelling of people that should be banned by developers. Online gaming is supposed to create a family atmosphere and sense of belonging for new, regular or senior gamers.

All online gaming developers should unite together to stop, prevent and ban other labelling words and negative labelling words that will destroy the overall gaming pleasures of all gamers and will stop new gamers from coming back playing the game again.

Some guy that ask people around for 100 gp, when you can just fight a monster for 200gp.

noobs, scammers, show off people, hackers, looters, ksers, people who flames others, people who thinks they are better than you, stupid people with low brain.

where to found a lot of this? FlyFF/WoW both are shit

my interperation of the word noob is:

1) a player who thinks they got skills and try 2 be slick until they get owned

2) a disrespectful word that is used towards hackers though they dont care what people call them however it is very critical to a fair player

Noob

i take it as a compliment when i win a duel and people call me noob

Noob

when i call other kiddo noob that means they stupid, act like they really know  sumthing also an insult

AFAIK the word noob comes from newb which is short for newbie. Newbie is not only the new player but also inexperienced players. A bad player is not really considered newbie as far as he does not screw up a lot. I believe that the word was first used by senior players to describe the ones that do not know the rules of the game and had not yet got the grip on it. Still most of these new players are fast levelers and after a week or so they consider themselves superior players and although they do not really know some of the fundamental rules of the genre. Thus these players became to call noob players that are lower character levels than them when they are trying to tell them not to kill steal and item steal and so on and at some point it all went to hell and now noob is a universal offensive word in MMORPGs and although many of the guys that play in the genre know its origin they tent to use it out of place.

I pretty much avoid using the word noob... only reason i'd use it is if i really think the guy should stop acting too high and mighty and remember that he's no better than a newbie.

 The meaning of noob is a new player or a bad player who doesn't seem to know what he's doing. It's misused a lot ingame when players call their enemies (who may not be a newbie) noob to insult them. It can also be used as an affectionate term between friends. It's meaning really does vary.

Ok I guess I will start off. . . . .

 I honestly do not really like this word NOOB! Reason is most people who call you a NOOB is really one themselfs. But for viewpoint heres what I think it's about.

 NOOB is a term for people who can be in many differnt catigories of things and while some are a bit noobish and to others being noob's that just make you facepalm and just ignore them for life. Most people that really call just anyone a noob is more in danger of them really being the noob becasue like all noobs they think they are the best and misuse the noob word so badly it makes you want to drag their faces over the gravel outside. Noobs tend to think they know it all, like whatever they say is golden and will make sayings that make them jsut look the stupid, like talk about how its thier own opion but then badmouth someone talking about how there opion dosen't matter, just alot of stuff that makes you facepalm. Also noobs tend to call new people who just started games a noob and laught at them that is also a noob casue if they knew better they would know there is a difference from being new to a game and being a total noob, heck sometimes you find people being professonal noobs like its a great hobby.

 Honestly though peopel should really take the time to just stop being a noob. Like I am sure someone might come and call this whole topic noob and miss the point that this is for just discussion and everyone who accuyaly logs into mmosite to leave their view should be able too, casue well if you want to be a a-hole thats fine too just remember it's yoru problem not mine lol.
