I’ve noticed a lot of bitterness and negativity going around in many forums honestly, but one really hit home for me. The objective of the game is to become the strongest (more or less) and stats is an integral part of that system. I get that. It also gains you respect because again, it shows you’re getting closer to the games objective. Got it. But why the hate? Lol I’ve just noticed that there seems to be some nasty high stat culture. It’s apparent in the way some higher stats seem to demean noobs, because of the mere fact that they are noobs. Tbh what’s wrong with being new to the game? To me, it’s much more useful if a higher stat took the opportunity to guide us noobs through the game and overall contributing to a friendlier PIMD. The whole “ew. A noob just talked to me” and the dismissive gesture I’m sure a lot of relatively new players can relate to seriously sucks and doesn’t contribute to a better community at all. This is a game obviously, so where is this superiority complex coming from? Obviously a hierarchy exists in terms of stats, but why tf does that integrate into some people’s personalities? Obviously this isn’t generalizing every high stat and every new player, but tbh we can’t act like this isn’t happening. You guys were once noobs too Hopefully this makes more people aware? It’s a game but fr it starts to smell like shiiih when I see all this petty top 1% like stuff. We’re just pixels lmao. We can have the decency to be courteous around each other no matter what the stats are. bAi KtHnKs “?”, -Relatively new player
My club and past clubs I’ve ran have been centered around helping noobs, I enjoy it. Yes at times there’s follows from “sexygirl6969” and I smash that ignore button if they’ve been silenced already and such ? but otherwise helping noobs is fun, I never got help when I joined near 7 years ago, I even refer to myself and everyone else as noobs. There’s plenty of ego flashing in high stats it’s gross, high stats don’t change the person behind them. You a noob for life ?
Thank you for that, people like you don’t go unnoticed by the noob community tbh. It’s very much appreciated
Honestly.....(sigh). I've tried to help noobs. I've started clubs for noobs. I've ran clubs for noobs. I've tutored noobs. I've helped and donated even rl money to noobs. And 99% of the time I get some jack noob that either a) quits the game. b) joins an rp club. Or c) becomes a jack noob. So now, I no longer have the time or patience for some jack noob.
I’m still a noob I still don’t have half a damn clue about what to do haha but I help our newbies when I can. Although I can never hide my frustration when one adds me and I’m instantly hit with the ‘rp?’ Or ‘nûdies?’ etc. or I spend ages helping a low stat person for them to quit the next day or join a exclusively rp club. I do wish I got more help as a newbie that’s why I try. But literally at this stage 85% of newbies are on here to rp and be really gross. So it makes me hesitant to help anymore. I’m just over it.
Sure, thanks for your help. My point is there doesn’t need to be blatant rudeness and downgrading someone simply because they’re a noob. I have many friends that really are dedicated to learning the game, but can’t go about it because the minute they ask for help they get a “oMg iS ThIs NoOb TaLkIng tO mE lAwd #INeedHolyWater #Begone”. Being a noob isn’t a personality
Oh yeah, the whole random adds asking for personal sht is definitely annoying and don’t deserve anyone’s time of day. I’m not saying to go recruit noobs to train them or something lol but even in small things like having a normal conversation, a simple hey instead of the classic eye role doesn’t do any harm u know?
Sadly this is something that will never change fully, too many people feel special and better than others, on wc/pub/clubs/forums everywhere on here you can find it. Being the nicest form of yourself shouldn’t be so hard
It definitely won’t change fully. I just hope people become more conscious about the attitude they’re giving
But it is. Its exhausting sometimes. I try not to be a d***. But sometimes I just cant hold it in any longer.
Personally I don’t add people without a reason. They could be the highest stat player on here and I won’t accept them. Or I will and if it’s for a chat I’m out. I’m not really about chatting. Might make me sound rude or whatever but if someone says hey I want your help etc then sure. But it griiiiinds my gears when I post on wc I’m selling or something and I get 5 noobs add me to say ‘hey’ or ‘rp’.... I lose it. Like no mate don’t add me for any reason other than what my post said.
Tbh I’m not a random add person either, my friend list consists of people I genuinely talk to. By no means did I mean to add noobs. Also I do understand that most people who add randomly asking for third party info and the likes are new players. I guess my point was more directed at what I’ve seen in pub? I’m more likely to be ignored and treated differently than say someone with higher stats would, even if we said the same exact thing. I base these claims off of what fellow friends have told me and what I’ve personally experienced. Even if some people may not intend to do it, there’s this stuck up aura we sometimes get.

And generally it’s just life. Higher up people look down on lower down people I think you will just have to accept it - as annoying as that is and work on your stats until it doesn’t affect you as much anymore. We were all newbies once and had to deal with that. Just ignore it ??♀️
