First i would like to state that is in no way meant to bash anyone, its just for the purpose of Definition. There are sub catergories between each, kind of a grey area.
Type 1
The person brand new to game, is still learning. This is the most obvious type of "Noob". Nothing at all wrong with this, we all started somewhere.
Type 2
The person that is well into the game, and still doesnt know what they are doing. They do silly stuff like are still wearing there lvl 10 armor, never use AH, etc. These are the ones that know they are doing something wrong or still not sure about certain things but will still listen to advice.
Type 3
These are the Persons that flame the previous 2 types. They are also the type that continually makes mistake and despite advice from others continue to make mistake.
Example of Type 3
Player 1: F*&k i die all the time this game sucks
Player 2: Dude your wearing lvl 10 armor and your 22 thats your prob"
Player 1: I got no money for new armor
Player 2: Go take a break and farm some, go switch to Thief lvl 1 and kill easy stuff make loot sell at AH for gil
Player 1: Nah why should i level thief when i dont even have sub job yet.
(this was real conversation i had i just paraphrased it)
I know that this subject has been beaten to death, i know that someone might call me a "Noob" for making this post but i was reading forum today and there was someone supporting Manual Dodging, also another where a person bragged about swearing and flaming at a "noob" on open channel. Both these players saw nothing wrong with it, made me sigh. Thought i would expand the definition of Noob.
