Ugh. I'm sick to death of this "newbies are your best, lifelong friends" stuff. Truth is, the typical newbie is a disrespecting, immature, and annoying player. Granted, there are exceptions, but those are somewhat rare.
"You were a newbie once, too."
No, I wasn't, in the respect we're talking about. I think the term newbie has shifted more from a "new person at a game" to an "immature player", because the majority of the "new people at the game" were "immature players". And I've never been an immature player if I may say so myself. Because that (the "new" newbie term) is what we're arguing about. Everyone, of course, had to be a newbie at some time. That's not debatable - so why would we be arguing about fact?
"Hey, they're new, give them a break!"
I do if they act correctly. But when someone cusses me out immediately after meeting me, I tend to have a certain bias.
What I'm saying here is, I don't have anything against newbies, but rather against their stereotype.
