No it isn't. This thread isn't about hating noobs. It's about a PF group saying it is looking for members with "xyz" criteria and someone without that criteria joining the group. Look at my IEX example, that was ridiculous. We weren't hating on a noob who hadn't cleared TEX... We just weren't doing TEX as per the PF description.

If you want to join but don't quite meet the requirements, PM the lead about it. that's worked for me 9/10 times when I've asked. I've let people into a farm group who needed a clear before. They PMed me, I asked the full group and they said lets rock and roll and get him a clear. I don't see the noob hate in this topic at all. I agree joining when not meeting the stipulations for the PF group is rude unless you get permission from the party lead ahead of time.
