why so mean?

ROFLMAO--- Call a Spade a Spade and stop with the touchy feely babble. He is not talking about a new player. I have seen plenty of those lvl 50's myself. They are the ones that keep gold spammers in buisness getting their toons Power Leveled.

The issue was using that to justify being rude to actual newcommers. This stemmed out of:

Because a lot of "noobs" don't listen to the advice given. So we've become jaded about giving wasted advice.

If people are using bad experiences with power-leveled players in i90/i100 gear in endgame dungeons as a reason for treating newcommers like crap, then there's a real problem. People shouldn't be trash talking new players because they've met some lousy players at endgame.
