noobs & pros

I've been wondering, what is the lvl where you turn from a noob to an avrage and so on. I want to find out when I can stop calling myself a noob. I might throw a party (is is a joke. Jeeesh)!

When you read 90% of the posts on guru and go "WTF!! Why is this poster so stupid", that's when you know you're not a noob anymore.

I consitered myself not a n00b when i memorized all of the costs and effects of all of my ranger and monk skills and also since I play the game since 3:45 after the midnight release on the 28th of May, 2005...

When you don't feel new to the game anymore.It's not like if you go from 19 to 20 or non-ascended to acended that you suddenly get smarter, wiser or hugely more experienced.

You are no longer a "noob" when you start complaining about the horrible quality of PUGs and end up doing the mission in half the time using henchmen.

If you're doing PvE, then it's when you are comfortable with making trips to Snake Dance. Thats when I really felt like I had developed symbosis with my character.

"noob" is only a state of mind.
if you dont have an ego that could crash the server, know your role in your team, actually listen to your team, and not blame dying on your monks (if it's your own fault) then you just might be mediocre

Knowing what makes a good team for a certain mission makes you less noob. Thus, playing through the game can make you a non-noob, but not always. Also knowing your character's strengths and weaknesses, knowing when to fight and when to retreat, contributes to defining non-noobness.

I figure I wont be a noob anymore when I can actually decipher all of the acronyms and abbreviations on the boards... :P

The annoying thing I find about some people on GW is that, despite being Lvl20, sometimes I don't know the value of an item off the top of my head, so I get called a noob.
Perhaps the people calling me a noob are noobs. Perhaps the word 'noob' has now lost all meaning. This is a bit too philosophical isn't it.

you are a noob as long as you call other people noobs, behave like an obnoxious little brat, go around insulting other people, decide to ignore the orders (or suggestions) of your party leader/members,...
Beeing a noob in a MMO is not about your skills, your level, your inventory, etc.. It's about beeing a mature person who knows the meaning of the words responsibility and courtesy.
I don't care if you have 4 level 20 chars with uber equipment and know every single strategy and skill setup in this game. If you don't know how to behave, you are a noob in my eyes. Apart from the fact, that you aren't. Because I wrote earlie that calling other people a noob means that you are yourself a noob, so this would mean that I am a noob, which of course I'm not.
Playing a WaMo is a pretty good sign that you're a noob too....
(sorry, couldn't resist ;o)

You're still a noob when you aggro hordes of monsters unnecessarily and acting like you're invincible because you are level 20 with Droknar's armor.

I came to the realization that I was no longer a Newb when this happened:
After playing one evening for four hours straight trying to complete Elona Reach with PUGs and failing I decided to go to bed! Then the next day I grabbed a party of henchmen and finished the mission on my first try. Apparently I know what I'm doing after all, as for others...
... and I've never been a n00b. Nor will I be.

Ultimately, who cares? Play the game and have fun. That's the point. And most totally new players are enjoying the game a lot more than those who've been around since beta.
EDIT: Typo.

I considered myself not a noob when I started to become the leaders of all the PuG's I join, and people started listening to me.

Hahaha, I play a Wa/Mo mostly because I love to be the one saving my team from ultimate defeat AND because they can farm easily and I needed cash bad
I prefer my R/Mo though who carries some smites and a res...

I have two points of view on Noobs and pros (Reason is because I can't find a decent definition for either)... If you want to not be a noob, then you can just learn numbers/memorize skills/get a bunch of good equip. That's half of what I think is a pro, the other half would involve how many people enjoy/like/need your company. GW is a very team-based game, so even if you rule, your ego or attitude can make you hated. A genius playing GW with no friends and no group (HENCHIES DON"T COUNT) won't be counted as a pro. In simpler terms... find a small-ish decent guild where their need for you is more than an extra number on their recruiting ad, if the people around you think you're pro, you're pro, if they think your a noob, not even reciting all the skill descriptions will change their opinion.

Okay "I dub thee ... Sir Non-n00b of Tyria .. now go forth and teach the n00bs the value of patience, take them to cap their elite skills, tell them the importance of strategy prior to entering the Tombs, teach them not to use words like r0xx0r u suxx0r godly uber 1337 fu and to stop drawing pennises on the map because we really don't care, and tell them ... the most important thing of all ... tell them that guildwars is a RP & PvP community ... and any ideas that strictly benefit 1 side while not the other, no matter how hard they candy coat it, will never occur ..."
PS.... your not a noob if you know what your doing and can work in a team environment to accomplish a goal.

Then there's no way I'm a n00b, first for GB's that we do on a regular basis I ask for advice for strategy from my lead strategist, then I ask for advice from the people who are going into battle with me, THEN I ask again my lead strategist to make a strategy and have my guild mates telll me whether or not it's good then I evaluate it and say whether or not it's good and majority rules.
I THINK that's on topic.... Hm...

Im glad all of you people Dont care if people are noobs. There is a place called miniclip where calling a person a noob is like sayin' they are a piece of crap, a loser, they are gay, they suck, etc. 
. Boy you people are alot more nice! Thanks 4 listening.

You'll always be a noob because there will always be someone better than you and they will never pass up the chance to let you know.
10%.... You're spoiled.
