These people that look for reasons to make them selves seem superior to other players, usually by time spent playing. If someone doesn't know a certain aspect of the game, they usually start with the mockery and cries of "n00b" (god I hate that *profanity* word!). They expect everyone to know every little intricacy of the game right out of the box.
For *profanity* sake! Give people time to learn! Some of us have lives outside of the friggin game. These people and their attitude make it harder for new people to find groups and thus enjoy the game. These people tarnish our gaming time with bitching, mockery and inflated egoes. These people ruin the community, by spreading their god forsaken attitude to other people. Making some players feel this is how it needs to be, that new people really are the devil (or some tripe like that).
Well to all you people out there (you know who you are). CHILL THE *profanity* OUT! It's just game, some of people are still learning the ropes. Give them time, help them along. No I wont kick them from the party because they dont know what a smite is. No I wont kick them because their build isnt the way you think it should be, no I wont kick them because they dont have any rank.
Also "newbie" is not synomynous with "idiot", a new player isnt necessarily a bad player. Also a so-called "experienced" player isnt necessarily a good player. Just because your an asshole with a self-inflated sense of superiority doesn't make you superior. Don't be a prick in-game just because your a loser in real life. Don't be an ass to new players to make up for your life's inadequacies.
I could go on and on and on. But I'll end with this...Grow up people.

I'm chiming in way late I know. I'm not going to bother to read the replies. I know what they are anyways.
I've been jumping around from game to game and I find that the majority of mmo and rpg players are often times agnostics or atheists.
Being an agnostic myself I can tell you that the mindset of such people is often (but not always) that they are superior to everyone.
It doesn't suprise me that the mindset stays the same in game. Shoot, that's my mindset as well.
But you have to remember. Just because people are new, doesn't mean the ones who know the game in and out have to be patient with them. I absolutely will not group with people who don't know their class. I won't be rude about it, I'll just leave the group without a word (unless in a mission, then I wait until they wipe a few times) and walk away.
I'm sure your post is directed to the asshats who are extremely rude to new players. But seriously, I was new too once, but geez I could read skill descriptions, follow directions, and listen like it was nothing. I don't understand why some people cannot and these are the ones I refer to as "n00bs" (otherwise they're just noobs).
If you don't know your class because you're new, that's one thing. But if you don't have the common sense to say, "hey, i shouldn't run into that big group of monsters" then get the hell out of my group. You're wasting my time and I have no respect for you.
To end my post, there's extremes on both sides. You have your elite assholes and you have your "can't find their way out of a paper bag" noobs. 90% (I made that up) of the community falls in between. Unfortunately the extremes of each side tarnish the rest of the community.
There are some real dicks out there. But, not everyone has to be patient and wait for newer players, if experienced players choose to leave without being assholes about it, then accept it and go on.
I don't FLAME. I correct.
