No offence to you persistant Noob callers but can it please stop. Does it make people feel good to shout it at people? Does it achieve anything? Most of the time I hear it blurted out the person shouting it is generally an arse anyway. We all were one point noobs so get over it. If its not going your way keep on trying dont start shouting obsenities at everyone else before leaving. I have dragged some pretty dodgy groups through some tough times in missions and made sure they all learnt something from it!
People make mistakes get over it and people have got to learn so help them. My good friend is actually a dev (not for anet though) and he thinks its retarded to do such things. Noobs are not the problem its elitest idiots who take things too seriously.
(I know my grammas bad not to mention my spelling so if it'll make you feel better lord it over me I am in awe of your spelling and gramatic supremacy)

What would you prefer?
'You arrogant clueless imbecile that won't listen to directions and keep aggroing the entire map while telling everyone else in 1337 that their builds suck!'
Doesn't really roll off the tongue...

yeah but if its that long perhaps people wouldnt say it! My point is that being offencive doesnt help. If I replied toy your post with thats a ----ing retarded piece of ---t you wrote there nothing would be achieved. The point is you can shout stop agro everything pull them back then direct on the map pick one group at a time. They'll learn trust me
And perhaps if people stopped spamming noob every 5 seconds the game wouldnt lag as often

Btw dunno why you take such offense to the word noob. It's not exactly a swear. + if the new guys would listen to directions, noone would call you anything. They'll just be proud of you that you choosed to listen + not screw everything up

Afraid the words here to stay, and the most "relevant" use is for people who need a serious attitude ajustment (i.e, the warrior who uses healing sig+Frenzy at the same time when at 20% health, and doesnt listen to reason when you explain why that is a bad idea, and then calls your names, or the mesmer who tells me to F* off because ive told him backfire really doesnt have any affect on mino's)
Noob doesnt mean new player, that would be Nub, or Newb
If you have been called it, ask yourself why, prehaps it is somthing you might have doen wrong, prehaps the person calling you it was an idiot

Lets try to look at this at a positive perspective. With the existance and useage of this word employed by 133t5p34k3rs and the like, you can quickly tell apart which persons you would not be your life long friends 
or those you like to party or be in a guild with.

I personally believe that in the majority of cases that I’ve seen the word used that it reflects more on the user than the intended recipient.

Maybe if people held of calling people noob until theyve tried to educate them then NooB to your hearts content. Imagine life though if everytime you tried to learn something instead of getting help from your team mates they all just stood there pointing and calling you noob? Or if you tried to read up on it and ask qustions they all conitnued to point and shout noob. I may be no elite speaker although I did think it was typing but I imagine you all recieved help with something along the way.
Yes I have been called a noob, perhaps I am one but it always seems to be the lack of communication in PUGs that creates an apparent noob. Its funy that I get called noob when I run people for free and give away max damage weapons. Its free ffs be gracious.

People get a thrill from calling people nOObs etc and it makes them feel good to look down their noses at others. Sometimes its justified to call someone a nOOb, but mostly not.
People who call everyone a nOOb are typicaly scumbags...dont try to reason with them.

Being called a noob in PuG and suffer a rage quit isnt half as bad as having someone who call you a poor noobie after a failied haggle in trading prices and places you on ingore while still continuing to pm you a variation of lesser known uses for your mom...

Anyways, to the OP, in Guild Wars, noob doesn't mean newbie anymore. Noob actually means an annoying idiot/imbecile/actually, a combination of both/actually, they're just about the same - x10 (to the power of n).
fenix
bah, you are all noobs. nüb is the cool way to say it.
I personally hate the word, it's really annoying being called a noob when I go to RA with my Boon Prot, and get called it by a premade W/Mo who killed me with the help of his 2 Edenial friends. Hence why I don't go there. Everyone is an elitist, and if they kill someone, or die, everyone is a noob.

Im gonna start using 'Chunk Monkey'. It takes a little longer to type I suppose and is equally useless but infinitly more amusing (0nly to me of course)
Kern Wolf
I think that most people who use the word "noob" are a pretty maladjusted group; they're the ones who bail at the first sign of trouble. I think it fills some deep-seeded need to be bullies, when in fact, they're often the "noobs".
Chances are, they don't know how to handle challenges, or when things get bad on missions/quests. It's easy to be anonymous in this game, and put people down, unfortunately, but those are the people you can recognize as not being good team players for anything.

Or maybe the targeted people really are noobs, and we're tired of dealing with them everywhere we go?

Though, as always, I must say the continued confusion of the terms "noob" and "newb" still astounds me...
Tufty
I think the definition of NooB has come into call! So far it means new player, idiot, inexperienced, arse hole, ----er amoungst other things! The point is it doesnt really achieve alot. I have run people from ascalon all the way to the desert as favours! I generally dont approve to be honest but I get bored. These people generally are bringing up there 3rd char and can no longer be bothered working at the game. These people seem to have some of the most "noobish" behaviour of all. Perhaps NooB is a bit like Chav in this country (uk only sorry) more of a class thing now. Noobs are like the little scrotes who sit on street corners spitting and trying to bully other folks. Kinda think they are better than others because they can buy beer at 14 and wear all the right clothes. Of course its this type who are most likely to be calling others names like noobs! Oh I dont know! You elite speakers should come up with a new one so I can spot it and know exactly what your reffering too
JiggyFly
Why do so many people care what others think? I mean truly, why would a complete and random stranger calling you something actually annoy you that much. Why do people care enough about what random names in a video game say, to the point that they'll stop doing Random Arenas, make a thread, etc.
If a random jumble of letters in a video game, saying one word has that much influence on you. I seriously think you need help, because after all it's just a game.

in my experience, some skilled players will get called noobs for bringing their own build. For example i use to solo with a mo/e, all the other UW mo/w didn't believe me and yet from what i heard mo/w aren't better than me . But those days were long past, where prot bond was great

learning to deal with being called name was a skill that was meant to be learned in preschool. While calling someone a name shows that you are still at that level, crying over it isn't much better...
Tufty
It is just a game I agree but from my experience half the people on the game take it a little more seriously than that. As for jumbled up letters causing offence I'd like to bring the attentions of loads of jumbled up letters causing serious offence and not just in computer games. I tore down a BNP poster from a bus shelter the other day which was honestly disgusting. I dont care what people call me really it just seems so pointless to do the calling in the first place.
The first GVG I ever did the team trashed us quickly then proceeded to run around calling us noobs before we eventually zoned out! What was the point? They defeated us so why name call. More recently again defeated in gvg (I suck at GVG) the team had killed us all but we had a lovely chat with them as they slowly killed all our NPC's.
Im guessing using Noob if you honestly have to be offencive is better than other things you can say but then U cant adjust my chat filter to allow swearing but block Noob
Fair enough we all learned how to have the piss taken out of us at pre school so why still put up with it? Im just trying to get people to think a little more. Id would personally rather be called a C--T than a noob! Or try something creative. Egotistical mouse dropping seems to apply in a few scenarios. Guess you cant change the world but theres no harm in trying

CHUNK MONKEY its the way forward!! Right Im not posting anymore on this thread. Nice to see other peoples opinions. Look out for chunk monkey being used in a town or outpost near you (perhaps egotistical mouse dropping for those special occasions)

Noob is like that Seinfeld episode, when Georges dad uses Serenity Now as a stress reliver, if more noobs occur, well watch the episode. Just watch your computer.

Here's a novel idea: people stop being so insulting and detrimental of others. But wait, thats not human nature, so it won't stop. To the OP: I feel your pain, do like me, turn local off and don't group with people you don't know. There are many times I've felt like insulting others because they truly were terrible, but plenty of people use it to shift the blame off themselves. People aint worth the hassle.

How about boob, I like the sound of that better, or bob, unless it's actually the person's name maybe, lol.

The problem isn't in the word, it's in the people who use the two improperly. A single mistake doesn't warrant either. Newb is not an insult, it's simply a descriptive to say someone is new to the game/area/character type.
Noob on the other hand is a direct insult towards someone who is all of what my first post held. An arrogant, unlearning, idiotic player that refuses to improve when offered advice.

Noob or nub (any variation) are the lamest insults ever. Come'on, they sound like 10 year olds. I always questioned the person's (the jerks) intelligence for using those words and asked them if they can come up with anything better than that. Then insult them in a witty intelligent way which will make them feel stupid than they already are.
And what's with the word "scrub?" Another unintelligent insult by the ten year olds.
Are we still in the 90's? For the people that use it, do they want to be in the singing group TLC or something? xD

It is not easy, because I am provoked every minute. I really really really try to ignore other's mistakes, and look more closely at mine.
I try to live up my name, but it is not easy when the same mistakes are made, by the same person, over and over again. Even if he also dies over and over again.
It is terrible, when you want a quest very desperately, but it gets spoiled by strangers, who couldn't care less.

Is there anyone here who can use the term 'noob' in earnest and not feel like a childish nerd? While I find it easy to ignore those moronic enough to use the word, you still shouldn't be able to type those four letters and continue to hold any self respect.
