  It is easier to teach a groveling player to think a little more highly of themselves than it is to teach a holier-than-thou noob to get off his high horse and realize he knows nothing. Knowing you know nothing is the first step to learning something.

  "Don't like what they did" =/= "obviously obsessed and socially destructive individual" <_<
  
  I'm sorry but I simply don't tolerate someone who deliberately lies to my girlfriend (and other friends of mine) behind my back, and lies to me about them behind their backs as well. Someone of that nature deserves to be called out.

  
  
  Deserves, yes. Should you, no. Because then, you're really no different from him if you're attacking him behind his back.

  Attacking =/= informing others of a socially destructive individual and/or sharing a negative experience with said individual to back up one's claims (and I'm not the only one whose social life this guy has attempted to destroy). But I digress; it's not like forum policy is going to budge.

  so I was talking to my friend in front of the church about my robe (I was on a giant)
  
  and this newb was like "it's ugly"
  
  I go "way to be open minded kid"
  
  and then he's all "offended by it" and he's like "FOR MY HONOR" cept he mispelled honor
  
  and we dueled, he lost and I healed him, he tells me "don't heal me" and runs off saying
  
  that he'll get stronger and face me again then
  
  
  it really felt like an RPG moment there but it was weird,
  anyone else experienced something like this? and how old did you think the newb was to be offended by that o.o
  
  that and I feel like I'm gonna have a stalker now, it's like Silver in Pokemon Crystal all over again D:

  
  
  Sounds to me like someone who is just bored and heavily caffeinated.

  Sounds to me like someone from XBL. <_< That's all I ever hear on most competitive game networks -- people who think beating someone = them being superior in some way.

  1. Game Ended.
  2. This is Mabinogi Talk.
  
  I really do like helping newbs, but only if I go to them, or they are publicly asking for help. If they ask me specifically, I usually end up ignoring it.

  Yay being one of those nubs.
  
  That and yeah, pretending to afk is the best defense from what I found.

  Hmm.. this kind of reminds me of a newb experience I once had.. I was walking around with my ig husband with our titles on, and something happened that seemed like it came straight from an RP chat.. I don't remember exactly what he said, but me and hubby were rofl-ing in PM.

  Sora, hit Shift+F5.
  
  It'll show you that when you hotlink from the wiki, you get a Ferghus image.
  
  Don't do it.

  OH alright, sorry, didn't know D:

  The solution is really simple. Send them to mabination to ask all sorts of questions which will get answered by people with all sorts of good opinions and they wont get trolled since we have mods who care.
  
  My next answer is "Go read mabi wiki"
