Beginner? Yeah? No. -.-

Beginner means you should stick to the basics, get experience before you start playing something this high-tech. ( Because now she's FAIL with TWO addons! )

"Beginner" is not an open invitation to "Play whatever I want and no one can say anything because I'm new! Tee hee!"

I just want to make that clear.

^This. So hard. I personally think she shouldn't play a damn thing until she reads some Lore and stuff. Because damn.

See, I'm a "Meet me halfway" sorta person. If someone looks like they're actively trying, and really are just new, I'm cool with it. No worries.

You wanna play a dragon? BRB my paladin is getting a drink. A lot of drinks. It'll be awhile, just wait here.

You're better than me. I've tried to help so many people, and I lack the patience anymore. Way too many people who go "Lol, I don't need to read lore! It's totes ok!". It gives me a headache. I don't mind giving people advice, but only if they come asking first. It's too much hassle to try and correct flaws with people who don't care that they're terribad.

... that draenei has the balls to call herself "Earth Mother"? I know a Certain Druid who's going to nuke that bitch from orbit for blasphemy.

"Concerned, angry, and confused". So, an unpleasant bowel movement, then? And of course she can be a baroness - Onyxia totes pulled it off, right?

... She sees Thrall as her role model, yet she's a Drae. Oh, poor Nobundo, he gets no respect. Plus the name does not sound Draenish at all, and... Oh, Therazane would like a word with you. It's probably "die", followed by Deepholm collapsing in on you.

A twenty six year old Draenei? Oh dear...

Exactly. I mean, it's possible, but I can't see someone being an "Earth Mother" with only 26 years under their belt. Then again, Humans master a whole lot of shit in 26 years, so I dunno. It just doesn't sit right with me at all, the whole age thing aside.

Wow. Making fun of someone for using pewter in their roleplay, which probably does exist in WoW because it can be an alloy of just copper and tin.

This is someone that openly admits they're a beginner, uses capitalization/punctuation well, and aside from the race field and parcel-of-land title hasn't done anything wrong. Confused, angry, and concerned is the look on my face half the time when Lanuria gets an idea, so I don't think it's far fetched.

The next player looks like she's about 14, so bravo making fun of the one teenager that doesn't roleplay as the Punisher. There's no chance that she doesn't know her tauren lore, she's obviously doing it on purpose out of ego.

I hope you feel very good about yourself today. You're really doing your part in the fight against bad roleplayers.

I kind of do have to agree with the first part. Saying pewter doesn't exist in WoW when it's really an alloy of what does is a bit like saying "hedgehogs don't exist in WoW because we don't see any hedgehog mobs!" (I got into a debate with someone over this when my warrior told him not to call her 'Hedgey.')

As for the rest, I also agree; when one sees a Beginner tag, it's probably a better idea to try and steer them onto a more accepted path than to mock them for being a beginner. She'll never know what's wrong with her tag unless you tell her, and making fun of her on a site she'll never happen across isn't helping.

It's one of the most common composite metals in the world all things considered. How one assumes that that isn't possible in WoW (or any game) when you've got metallurgy (smelting) as one of the basic professions is beyond me.

Looking it over the post's rant about pewter not being in WoW and leading to the player being a terrible rper seems to fall on my gradient scale of terrible rp [players], on one end being an rper who knows their lore and abuses it to make a black hole sue that otherwise ruins a story, while on this end being a player incapable of seeing outside of flimsy preset rules, or doesn't want to, and often complains about simple shit.
