RuneScape:Wiki Post/Editorials/Respect your fellow players or just go

Have you ever been called a "noob", "nub" or anything similar of the sort? I'm sure you have. I'll admit, I have. Infact, calling each other a noob is so common that I bet you somebody out there in the RuneScape world will be calling someone a noob right now as I am typing this "newspaper article".

This is just a note to all the players who wish to make RuneScape a bad place for everyone.

Calling each other a "nub", "n00b" or whatever is just plain childish. The victim isn't offended, and I bet you the offender doesn't even know what a "nub" means. Right now, I am on World 1 with my level 3 skiller asking random people what a noob is. I would say about 10% of people said a noob means newbie which is absolutely correct.

However the remaining 90% said that a "nub"/"n00b" is a "sukky level 3 player like u wif a bronze skimmy omg u noob". Wow. I got so offended there, I went into a mental breakdown (sarcasm).

GET OVER IT! So what if they have a bronze scimitar. So what if their strength level is only 13. So what if they have an iron full helmet. WHO CARES IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

Also, if you do not know what a particular word means, don't use it. Don't you just love it when another player calls someone a noob, and then the victim asks back; "Do you know what a noob is?". The offender will most likely say "a sukky player or just keep silent or log out. That's when you know you've got them in a tight spot.

I hate it (and so do most other people actually) when a training spot gets crowded and another player asks you to leave in such an inpolite manner, e.g **** off go 2 anothr world nub.

I hate it even more when they use your weapons/armour, skill, or combat level against you. For example; ur level 70 ur the lowest lvl here swap worlds u nub lol. Mate, we're not impressed. The other people training will most likely be unimpressed. You do NOT rule the game, so don't force other players to leave.

If you are ever told to leave a training spot by somebody, just don't say anything and stay there. Keep training there. They won't have a clue about what's happening to your account. If they start breaking the rules, report them. In the end, they lose.

Personally, I think that people forcing others to leave should be permanently muted. From my point of view, they are worse than autotalkers, website advertisers and spammers.

So please. Don't call somebody a noob and make a fool of yourself. Don't tell somebody to leave and make a fool of yourself, because the most probable result anyway is that they wont leave.

Thank you. 10:34, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
