Not really going to argue about this, but in no way has the word ever been used as a positive one. n00b, newb etc are just variants of the same thing, because the internet loves shortening everything. If you're trying to tell me that "newbie" doesn't sound worse than "new player" you're only lying to yourself.

I guess calling them 'new players' who are actually new is an insult?

What do you want us to call 'em lol!

II. Defining 'Noob'
Contrary to the belief of many, a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing. Newbs are those who are new to some task* and are very beginner at it, possibly a little overconfident about it, but they are willing to learn and fix their errors to move out of that stage. n00bs, on the other hand, know little and have no will to learn any more.

I'm here from the Reddit thread, but I would like some help myself as a Monk and Ninja. Right before HW released, at i130, I was barely pushing greater than 500 dps in T13, with pots and food. I have a level 60 NIN, at 171 and fear I'm still kind of doing that bad DPS. Also leveling MNK at 42, and could use some help with rotations, not only to be good, but maximize my output and be beneficial to my static.

Name is Chrona Sapphyra, I'm on Ragnarok, if you want to shoot me a mail or /tell. My Steam is is Da Bellabooty if you want to chat there too. I'm usually online most of the time too. :)

This XD I thought Newb was quite fitting, since as the poster above me already said it's not derogatory at all. Where as noob is.

I posted on Reddit but this list may have not been updated yet.

I'm not 60 on any class but I main both DRK and WHM. I'd be totally down with chatting with new people or helping them with dungeons, trials, etc. I read a lot about theorycrafting too so maybe I can be of help there.
