Ahoy! Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm? In lumbridge I see tons of level 40+ Making fun of newbies. Well blow me down? A level 40 just told a level 50 to F off his house :O. In 2001 (Yeah I used to play I quit in 1 month) people were much nicer!!! Why are rs people so mean? I’ve sailed the seven seas, and you’re the sleekest schooner I’ve ever sighted.

[Star Jedi]

Heh, I've noticed that too. People just can't help it.

Also, "Talk Like A Pirate Day" is on the 19th

[Spikeout]

Arr i was wrong -Kills himself- arr

[CongressJon]

Um, yeah. Anyways, people just like to act better than others, so they take it out on newbs.

*Moved to SeeD Inn*

Partly the increase in beggars and scammers, i'd say.
Partly the fact that the average combat level is a lot higher, people think they're experienced and that entitles them to make fun of those that are newer.
Possibly a change in the most common age group to be playing. Quite a few people 11-16 or so will tend to badmouth others (by no means everyone in that age group, but quite a few).

PEOPEL ARE PLAIN CRUEL TO NOOBS high lvlvs arem aking them thinkign htere kool gettign smart to noobs and if noobs get smart back they get theyre mains i mean how low is that...anyways people are justi n it for money and fame

[SlainThrax-]

yes it really sucks

[LordDragoonX]

i know to many high lvl players are making fun of the newbies i went to help a newbie at the varrock sewers today and one person started making fun of me just for helping a newbie

[Baseballl]

I have tons of friends that do that, they make fun of noobs (Makes me feel embarassed)

[yeah man]

Hmm... its because of in imbalence in the levels of runescape players. Their are more ppl from 20-40 levels then there were last time. Alot of people think that the are better than the noobs, so they are mean.

[vietpryde]

how true... some idiot just got pissed off at me when i was cooking fish. i mean, wat the??? im just minding my own business, then he starts going, cmon lets go to the wild so i can hit some 23's on u ese! stupid idiot... some people tak this game too seriously. anyway, when my newb becomes a lvl 99 smith and miner, i hope that will restore balance. kind of... somehow... muhahahah i give all noobs full rune mwhahahhaha!! lol jk. but people are really taking this game too seriously.

[xpkerdudex]

lol i dont make fun of noobs but i get kinda mad when a noob lke lvl 14 has lvl like 75 mining and keeps beating me to silver and coal rocks

lol stopped that though cuz i figured that the noobs were ppl who made a account to just mine and smith and had a really high lvl guy....but noobs r ok until they annoy u to get them armor and weapons....i hate when they do that

[Miotu]

Erg, Star Jedi, perhaps we could work on something that could increase awareness of noobs...well, at least not have them made fun of as much. If you have any suggestions, I would be glad to help you out...perhaps a noob day!

[X Zolon]

Well, Whenever a newbie asks me for something, I say "Wouldn't you like to be rich?" they always say yeah. So I tell them to follow me. I take them to Varrock Mie, and mine them copper and tin. I watch them smith it. I tell them to keep doign that. Then I tell them to make a plate. Then I go "There, you can make your own armor! Now train, be strong, and look into other skills!" and they either log off, and next time I see them they are in mithril or better, or are poor, but are in the highscores When I was level 30, I made a level 10 full bronze armor.. we hung out and had lots of fun... shes around level 80 now... still remembers me

[Miotu]

So True, X Zolon...I find that noobs are SOOOO lazy these days (yeah, I know, I sound like I have been playing runescape for 40 years.) But really, all noobs do is ask you for money. I think that that is the worst thing of all; if they are EVER rewarded for this by actually getting money, they are MUCH more likely to beg and beg and beg until they get more money. Hence, I think that you taking noobs to smith copper and smith it is a great idea. I think that perhaps we should do that as an activity to help the runescape economy. This will lower the number of beggars, and increase the output of items, thus decreasing price, hopefully

Yeah, I remember those days when I smithed copper and tin...those days when I had mith armour as my best...those were the good ole days. Much more fun that having everything!
