basically its (afaik):
newbie - someone new to the game, tryin to understand the mechanics of it all
n00b - someone, may or may not be new to the game, not willing to adapt to/understand the game at all. (still looking for proper wording so dont pin me down on this, being a non-english person 
)
However, n00b is now just generally used as an insult. In fact its been used so much that I dont really take notice of it anymore. Anybody that seriously calls people "n00bs" is a "n00b" himself imo.

So do you. How often have you heard someone described as a 'n00b' because they don't like being ganked, or dislike the idea of being ganged up on, or they don't like hearing totally OTT abuse levelled at themselves or other players.
Tainted, you can justify the use of the term as much as you like, but 'n00b' is a term of abuse and it gets way too much applied to too many people.

Wingy i dont disagree to what you say. I didnt say people dont use it as abuse and i have personally have fallen occasionally into the loop of calling someone like this just because of the abuse being spammed around...However i dont justify it i just say in which mentallity each one applies originally. At no point its justified and even occasions i have personally used the term cause someone drove me to my utter limit i have regret it afterwards. however there are certain cases that the term more than applies. Still what u say i agree, people many times use it for all the wrong reasons and mainly as a derogatory term.

I fear people are starting to take a game waaaaay too seriously...
People really need to start lightening up, like TG here. Each day i read these boards, one person is having a go at another person for what they deem to be "A personal attck" or somesuch. The reason i don't have any examples is because i don't read it, and frankly it bores the hell out of me.
The only reason if felt like piping up is because i speak to TG all the time, and he is a tremendously sound guy, who i know would never hold a personal grudge against someone of purposefully belittle or degrade them.
With that said and out of the way, maybe people should start seeing this for what it is again... A damn game! It's there to be played and enjoyed, so stop having a go at each other and log on to have fun. And let's just hope people haven't forgotten what that is...

Is it? I'd think it would be griefing if I actually caught up to him, took his cheese and then waited until he had more cheese and took that off him, rinse and repeat?
At the moment it's only Persistance!

I couldn't find Wensleydale last time I looked. Had to get with cranberries, and it just wasn't the same. Then I had too much of it with christmas cake until I felt sick.
