We are noobs to start.
I dont mind if a low lvl person is new to game and has questions or doesnt know things, we all have to learn sometime. I would never be like "OMG your a NOOB". Its not polite, i try to give advice and encourage them to ask questions.
The people that truly deserve to be made fun of, heckled, belittled and ostracized are the people that are like lvl 20+ and still dont know what they are doing, the people that wont listen to advice. If your lvl 1 and you dont understand thats fine if your 20 thats pathetic.
Ill give post to glaring example of a TRUE NOOB.

If your that person your a NOOB in every sense of the word, if people give advice when your doing poorly and you out right dismiss it and keep making same mistake then your a NOOB.
Also the Term Noob is a derivation of Newbie, which is an even older term of derision used for people new to game that have no clue what they are doing.
Note this is a response to post by Valinos and is also a reply to it.
