Earlier sighting in HA...

"Experienced healer LFG (1.5 mil XP) no n00bs no time wasting!"

It is so ironic I don't even know how to begin

hahaha lol... for those who dont get it....ill explaine it for you.
-This monk is in Heroes Ascension, a pvp tournament arena. He thinks he's in a normal quest zone and expects that his "experience" will earn him a group.
He's calling the people in the area "n00bs" even though he clearly is one. Plus he's wasting our time with advertisments such as that.

Oh Noes! The 'burbs!

I'm glad someone explained it because I couldn't figure out what HA was.

Freaking acronyms are ruining the game. Heh

It is somewhat ironic, although usually if one has a decent amount of xp they'll be more useful in a group than a total newbie, especially as a PvE'er can be made to change his build.

People in GW use the word "n00b" to describe practically everything.
In fact, it's a universal truth that anyone exercising the word "n00b" in reference to another player, is only hiding behind their own stupidity.
It's a word used by those a little challenged in our oh-so-lovely language to boost an inflated ego or to present a facade masking their own inadequacies.

If anyone with any REAL talent calls other people noobs, then they are undeniably doomed/destined to a life of self-loathing, reclusion and an internationally-accepted ban from participating in the gene pool.

(Heh, I'm a little bored, and had to put something facetious together, hope you guys enjoyed!)

It's late at night, even the master of the English language (myself) does not want to read that...

Yes, I am the master of the English language
Yes, it's a self-bestowed title
No, you cannot dispute it -- save yourself the trouble and go to bed

n00b is a word used so often, that now it no longer has any meaning, except what the person saying it wants it to mean. So if someone calls you a n00b, they could be calling you the lord and master.

a) a tank does not work in tombs

b) the maps are the same as the old maps

It's a close cal there.while not all PVE'ers are bad at PVP,too many of them seem unable to make the distinction..that's why you see tanks,Minionmasters and Barrage Rangers in the arenas and even the tombs so much.

You DO know that minionmasters are still fine in PvP if you go minion factory, right?

since there is no way to verify any claims about experience points, therefore don't trust any claims about them. Heck, I can claim I have 5 million exp+ on all my characters and no one can prove me wrong.

"You DO know that minionmasters are still fine in PvP if you go minion factory, right?"
Minion Factory is not a viable build. You will lose to iway's eoe or anti-iway's frozen soil. There is a reason why you don't see many MFs in HA. Only proven winning builds survive in HA.

Similar to ppl spamming thier rank at ToA. Just as XP has nothing(or little) to do with PvP, rank has nothing(or little) to do with PvE.

You beat me to it. I absolutely hate people who spam their rank when looking for a group, as one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Next we'll be seeing over-achievers: "Rank 8 Mo/N with 9 million XP LFG. No nubs no text com"

Yeah, I've also come to the conclusion that experience points mean about as Rank/Fame whatever that is (I've been on TWO HoH's teams in my 1000hrs).

Realized yesterday that my Warrior made over 100K exp, just from Griffon/FoW farming. I wasn't even using scrolls. I can't imagine how much experience some old school(pre-AoE nerf) 55 monks have.

I don't hate it when they show their rank in pve, generally makes everybody more aware of who NOT to take. In my experiences pvp players in pve are the ones bossing ppl around (telling em what skills to bring and such) and if things don't go well the first to leave. I avoid em like the plague.
