Giving hunters a bad name

[Anyia]

"Noobs deserve our wrath, for sure, but try not to be too harsh, for it is proven fact that they will never get laid. NEVER."

I dunno. There seems to be a never ending supply of them. Or do they just spawn from the aether?

... Wow. That guy is all sorts of retarded. :/ If he was trying to get you to not camp (which the tell completely makes it sound like,) he certainly failed. >___>;

People like that are the exact reason I get upset when someone automatically calls all hunters, "Huntards." I don't want to be under the same classification as that noob. xD;;

I've had a lot of players lately with that odd combination of poor spelling/grammar, poor knowledge and unshakeable confidence in it. Most of them seem to assume that if you disagree with them, it's because you're an idiot.

Not wanting to fall into stereotypes, I do wonder if it's related to more kids being home as the nights draw in

I've found players in the 16-22 range to be the worst. Old enough to be cocky and young enough to be immature. xD

As a younger player, I can tell you that I started when I had just turned 12. My mum wouldn't buy me WoW unless I knew exactly what I was getting into, so...I knew pretty much as much as possible about hunter shot rotations, pets, and zones before I started playing. I could even list every tameable rare in Northrend, where they were found, and their approxomite respawn timers.

...my mom was somewhat impressed xD

As for noobs never getting laid...they're usually too busy playing WoW to care so it makes for a bad insult :/

I'm so glad I'm an exception... You also have to note that (this may be sexist, but from the way Trade Chat is, it's true...) many of those cocky 16-22 year olds are guys. Girls tend to not be as bad in that respect, least, from what I've noticed (being one myself and having a number of 16-22yrs girls in my guilds.)

OT question due to being curious: How old are you now or at least, when did you start? With Wrath? o: Just curious cause I started playing MMOs (DAoC at first) when I was eight. I had no idea what I was doing of course, but it was fun none the less. I was about eleven when WoW first came out, and I played a little in beta. I never got far in Classic, but that was okay. I made my comeback in Wrath and have been doing well so far. Glad to see your mom is that awesome.

Lol, you have to realize though, that most of them might play WoW a lot, but they might still care that they don't ever get laid.

Me and my GF noticed alot of the attitude comes from PVE elitists. So she saw a NE camping by a Aotona spawn site and she pst him "if your looking for Aotona he just spawned by Pitch. She gets a pst back "What makes you think I'm looking for him noob". She tells me what happen I pst him "She was just trying to help don't be rude, Richard" We find that alot and people don't understand why people want to help them. But Rare taming in SB has been a real pain since the new patch.

Huntard is used by players that say our class is easy to play but don't have a 80 hunter.

I've seen plenty of females in that age range (16-22) who are absolutely immature attention mongers as bad as the guys....and some who are older, but ACT like they're in that range. And don't get me started on the male population, heh. :/

Rudeness and stupidity are not bound by age. Thankfully, there are as many kind and intelligent players as there are complete jackasses.

*Raises hand*
Living evidence here.

I'd say that the immaturity between genders in that agerank works differently, though. THe females tend to be more "Look at me! Look at me!" and the guys are more "anal [Backstab]!". That's a generalization though, there will be exceptions in all ways, like people that age that are just as, if not more, mature than older people.

*pokes Saturo* The worst offenders are the ones who CAN'T say "hey, I do this." They pretend it's everyone else but them who acts like that.

I agree with the other sentiments, though. The females do whatever they can to get attention. Males lean more toward the outright immature, though I've seen a few who are also attention mongers. Then there are those who are just plain elitist and rude, talking down to everyone else. They tend to be in the older range and think they're Great Leaders....but aren't.
