The way I counter this mentally is by reminding myself that most people don't mind noobs, as long as they are actively learning and getting better.
The only noobs people care about are the perpetual ones who need to be instructed on how to do things again and again.
- SkyBelow 7y agoI think it depends upon their relationship to the noob. In a situation where the noob has a clear negative impact on the person, you can see a very negative reaction to noobs. Take a game like Dota 2 where a noob can be a handicap that can sink a team and how toxic the culture that game has developed.
- Talanes 7y agoIt's the transient nature of that sort of game that makes for the extreme noob hate. The value of the noob is that they can learn and grow, and become an equal who does things exactly as you prefer, because you taught them. If you're not going to see that noob again, then the value proposition doesn't really pay off.
- munificent 7y agoRight. Sort of the difference between the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma and regular Prisoner's Dilemma.
- lonelappde 7y agoSure. I don't want to fly with a noob pilot, but I like playing chess with noob players at my table or next one over.
