Gaming newcomers aren't always welcome, but how do we fix this? The more people playing, the better --right? fanjoy: I'm reeeally late here, but even still, i need to comment on this. I had a real hard time when i started on Final Fantasy 11. Nobody helped me, i had to learn the entire control system, macros, skillchains etc on my own. It took me months to truly get good and i had a LOT of stumbling blocks along the way. So when i did hit level 75, i took a step back and really looked at my clan. They were all these high level elitists, and i realized i didn't want to be that guy. Even a year later i still remembered being that guy that struggled alone. One day i was hanging out in one of the starting cities and i saw a group of new players who had all joined the game at the same time to play together. And wouldn't you know it, they were having the same problem as me. I'm not trying to rip on the FFXI community, its a fantastic community, but at the time it was still finding its way. I stepped in and helped this group out, and they told me when they normally logged in. The next day i was ready and waiting for them, which confused them. Why was a level 75 helping a bunch of newbs? i explained how i struggled in the beginning, and how i wished someone would have just given me the time to help and teach me how to properly play the game. Lon story short, i created a clan dedicated to helping new players. Did it become some huge legendary clan? no, not hardly, but i did get a feeling of contentment, and so did all the other high level players. We felt we were giving back to the community and making a difference. And y'know what? a lot of the newbs we mentored did go on to become really impressive players in their own right. So i agree with this. Newbs should be embraced, or at the least, helped and nurtured until they aren't newbs anymore.

The problem with noobs is that they don't listen to what others tell them, and they join the hardest possible modes when they have barely any hour logged in a game.
In left 4 dead for example one noob joining a versus (competetive game) will screw over the whole game. The noob makes a beginner mistake, and ends up dying, and bam you'll never catch up in score. The noob doesn't understand and he doesn't know why it's so bad that he died, but the rest of the team knows they lost a quarter of the points on that level which they'll never make up again. Result: noob gets votekicked.
Should the veterans explain the mistakes to the noob instead? no, that costs valuable time and will cause the team to take unecessary damage and risk being wiped out.
Noobs are fine, but they should stay in their casual and easy modes until they are capable of playing properly, and not ruin the game for others

When I first started playing World of Warcraft, during I believe the second expansion, I was very much a noob. I had been playing RPG's for years, by then, but WoW was a whole new universe that I had no reference for, and I was so grateful to the people who took time out of their busy schedule to help me. Some of them with a build-up of fifty or more quests in their log, would take time out of completing them to help me out. And when I saw someone who looked like they needed help, I took the help I'd been given and paid it forward, helping out other noobs. I'm getting ready to get back into Wow after several years away, which, by this point, I'm going to be a major noob again, I hope that people will help me out again, when I'm struggling, and I, of course, will continue to pay it forward, regardless, and help whenever I can.

A big problem with a lot of games is that they-re part of a series but encourage a different style of playing to market themselves to a larger audience. Take Splinter Cell, for example. The more recent Splinter Cell games, such as Conviction and Blacklist have made the choice to cater to the -Run -n- Gun- type of players which can really ruin a Multiplayer experience for experienced fans that prefer the stealth-oriented mechanics. It-s a perfect example of how frustrating it can be to have newcomers ruining a game although, realistically, you can-t really blame them as they-re being somewhat encouraged to play the game their own way. I can-t bring myself to treat the newcomers well though because it really bugs me that they-re ruining my experience just so that they can enjoy theirs.

Man I Like to the help the NOOBs man if they don't behave like NOOBs, in truth i taught quite a lot of people different in age how to play the smackdown 2005 Here comes the pain in ps2 at a certain game arcade during my school days -the minute they learn how to play they don't want to challenge all they want to become aggressive with me start to treat me like a noob- so i take back the mercy i showed on them and make them to beg to leave them alone(in game) or make them feel sorry for why they were even born...

I try to help noobs. Trust me I try. But when someone is awful at a game, you can't help them they're still going to be trash. I have a friend that has had rocket league the exact same amount of time that I have and we've played the same amount of hours and we play with each other all the time. But in competitive I'm a diamond 2 and he is a silver 3 and all we play is competitive. I've shown him some tips and I try to show him how to rotate. But he just isn't good.

I pretty much always try to help noobs, in almost every multiplayer game I've had someone usually ends up mentoring me a little and we become friends and then I do it to someone else. One of my favorite examples is overwatch, I've taught so many people in that game that I have peeps that now have higher SR than me (student becomes the master lol) and that's OK with me. I just like having people to play with.

I've found it rewarding in several ways to help new players in MMORPGs. In addition to helping them become better players so they don't wreck our raids or group missions it's brought in quite a few players into our guilds that have gone on to be outstanding players and teammates. Raging at people for their mistakes doesn't do anyone a bit of good, it just makes the community more shitty.

see and it not even just noobs say someone has been playing for a while and still does not have the strategies and tactics down mainly speaking of overwatch so many people talking shit how other people suck well if you just said hey try not to push so hard or hey flank when you see us do this and do it politely then well shit they will get better
