A bad player is a player that uses those ridiculous gloves and bandanas and dye them black just to use the most expensive dye.
And also a bad player pays ridiculous ammounts of gold for "rare" itens (no matter how ridiculous they look) and expose them to other players and consider other players with more "common" itens inferior and pathetic.
And also dont realize how idiotic and stupid they look with such itens.
AKA: Warriors with bandanas, gladiator's torso, obsidian leggings and boots and dragon gloves, all dyed black (we can all imagine the picture)
What is a bad player?

In my opinion, there are multiple ways to become labeled as a "bad player".
I, for one, am a bad player because my reaction time isn't all that great, nor do I pay enough attention to what's going on, even though I know exactly what I should be doing and how I should be doing it.
Others are bad players because they won't learn or listen to more experienced players.These are the players who love to never use logic in any situation.
Yet even more bad players are those who are incredibly good at this game, but would rather condescend than help a less experienced player who is willing to learn,
etc...

No such thing as a bad player, only one who has not had as much experience compared to others who have been playing a long time.

People who lack common sense. Those who have the ability/desire to adapt, learn, be aware (team and self) and think critically will gradulally improve on their own. I feel like these people are a very, very small percentage of the players in guild wars.

Newbie is or is not using a bad build/uses it wrong, but if he doesn't know how to use it, yet he knows that he's bad and wants to improve. He also knows Ursan is not good for pve. |

To me, a bad player is someone who knowingly and repeatedly hinders the fun for other players and shows absolutely no remorse for it.
Also noob is a ridiculous word and nobody should say it much less argue what their definition of it is. Ever.

I wouldn't even accept an assassin in my party if I were PAID in REAL CASH to do it. Not for any amount of money...to do so would engender being called a n00b.

a bad player would b the guy who just posted a thread telling everyone how great he is and how he is going to kill us 
unfortunately a mod either moved the thread to someplace where no one will ever find it or deleted it which makes me sad cuz it was funny

NOOB = Idiot Moron Stupid Dumb Ignorant Retard Loser
NEWBIE = New to the game or experience: Just beginning to learn (they have a short period of time to catch on about 2 weeks and if they haven't by then then they are moved up in ranks to NOOB!) <grin>
Sorry, but, wiki isn't the be all know all of definitions and what they mean if you believe that then YOU are a NOOB! haha

A noob is someone who refuses to learn and take advice. If someone is willing to listen to a more experienced player than they have a chance to not be bad.

A bad player is someone who doesnt (or wont) learn from his/her mistakes

Words can have connotactions that go beyond the actually meaning. For example, if you look up the word "cold" and the word "chilly" they might both give you the exact same definition (to not be hot). But "cold" is generally used to mean colder then "chilly."

According to all the monk guides I read, I am a bad player. I am awful; I am horrible; however, because of heroes and henchmen, I don't have to care.

Edit:
come to think of it, it was you who killed the pug too. You can argue this and that about rhe death of pugs, but when it comes down to it, it was the elitism and general racist type actions that forced us to seek better options.(guild groups/henchies and heros) Sure there were bad players, but even with a few weak links, it was hard not to accomplish PvE objectives (there's just not much to them.)

Only bad players can't recognize the things that each of the various professions bring to the table.

A true noob is some 1 who don't know what each profession can do.

To me:
Good player: Plays to the best of their ability. They might not know everything about the game, but they try and attempt to grow as a player.
Bad player: Doesn't try, doesn't listen, doesn't pay attention. Doesn't matter how long they've been playing or what rank they are.

The same applies to people in HA and GvG who farmed fame and champion points with IWAY, Spiritway etc and have an inflated sense of self worth as a result. They fail to realise that their achievements are a result of exploiting imbalances and using builds straight from pvxwiki without applying any sort of real talent, skill or cooperation. There's also a spectrum of maturity that contributes to a good and bad player. The whole "learn2play", "gtfo noob" and alike Internet clichés give players a bad reputation too. |

Quite honestly, it the stubborn players that actually yell at you or call you foul names when you make a friendly suggestion about whatever to help them improve.

i dunno really...I suppose a bad player is someone who is level 20 and still has starter armour and think he/she is a good tank... or someone who just rushes in and doesnt know "DO NOT GO THERE" means...

A bad player is someone who says 'afk for a few', then quietly goes and burns their neighbours house down and kills their dog, then comes back without even flinching.
Very bad person.

Today I googled "bad player" and it linked me to afrika18's profile on guru.

A bad player is someone who is bad. This will be immediately apparent to those who are not bad, and maybe not to those who are.
Doesn't get any simpler than that, really.

Bad player aka ~99% of PUG players in GW:
- Brings a crappy, totally useless skillbar with him, often insanely crappy and useless
- Has crap armor, weapons. Has no runes, no insignias. Has weapons that are totally inappropriate for his class.
- Has attributes that are specced in a way that is totally inappropriate for his class
- Never pulls, probably doesn't even have a bow
- Doesn't know how to avoid aggroing multiple mobs at the same
- Doesn't know to run away from an un-winnable engagement that is sure to result in the death of every party member who doesn't run away (this usually occurs due to the aforementioned multiple aggroing by very same bad player)
- If monk, doesn't bother to heal vital NPCs who's death results in insta-failure
- Aggroes enemies onto vital NPCs, which results in insta-failure
- Ragequits at the first time he or anyone in the party dies, even though his or their deaths is/are entirely the result of his own terrible playing
- Goes AFK in the middle of the game

Also, another example of a bad player is one who insists on using their favourite build when another build would be better for the task and so worsens the experience for everyone.
