measure of being a pro

[Shikari]

Splits, heres the quick summary of what saii said, "I AM LEET HAXORZ...aslong as my gf is with me, im noob otherwise and cant do shi*"

:3

Anyways, yea some people are pro at killing stuff, others at killing people, others at doing something specific.

Now a noob, is someone who fails, fails again, and again, and again, and never tries to get better ._., thats the legit definition for me, though I'll call anyone I find annoying a noob lolz.

Whut, I'm PRO cause I main a PROfessor...>_>
Uh, yah...wait I'm PRO cause I say so.

Hm...that's still silly. There isn't really a good way to judge if you are "pro" or not, people will still think at times you suck buttocks so in the end it doesn't really matter. If you gotta prove how "awesome" you are constantly to people you probably have issues of insecurity anyway. ;D

??There isn't really a good way to judge if you are "pro" or not,

Sure there is. Just follow the samer rules as chefs and the such go by.

You're professional if you're doing it for a living/career.
If you don't, then your title is Amatuer.


So, not a single one of us is pro. ;D

if you survived a nuke, then it's not pro, but Beyond Godlike!!!!!

Just hide in the fridge.

Pro: Being well rounded for starters. For someone to be considered pro on an official level they have to know how to handle high-tier MVP as well as WoE. PvP rarely plays into that. Most PvP'ers tend to lack basic skills and are just in it for e-peen. Something else that figures into someone being pro in my mind is having the ability to work with the gears you have. Even if those gears happen to be absolute crap (USRC** situation comes to mind). You can be pro with a specific class and blow with every other class.

Noob: someone who can't even handle their own class/character. I really don't understand how anyone can reach 99/70 without knowing how to play a class. Especially if a person actually leveled it. I've also seen some of the DUMBEST uses of cards in the world. Prime example. On officials this dumb _______ put a hydra card in a +7 giant axe. Racial/prop cards don't effect CT damage. Only atk cards (and not +% atk) effect CT. Did I mention said axe at that refine rate is hella hard to get? I liken it to someone putting an MVP (for weapon) card into a knife [4].

Another thing that would make someone noob IMO is a player who's been playin for years yet doesn't understand the game mechanics. Simple things like how size card multipliers work in weapons. I've even run into players who've been playing for years yet still don't seem to comprehend what elements effect other elements.

**USRC is United States Ragnarok Competition. It's an official competition that's the qualifier for the world comp. You can't use any gear you want, you're limited to specific gears available. You're also limited to how much zeny you have to purchase those gears and supplies from GM set NPCs. If you're curious to see what kind of limitations there are check out my screenshots here:

Note that I did condense what's available in the shops into sep images. Too much to upload otherwise. This makes for easy viewing.

I am Pro! You are Noob!

This looks mostly correct.

Hi. My name is Jen.

[The Legendary Joe]

Neither.??Pro's get paid for our work. We're ALL noobs, no exceptions. It's just such a common thing it's sort of redundant to call people noobs.

[Jens]

the correct term is "amateur", Joe.

pro is someone who can master their class/job for what they intend to use it on. Basically, yer a pro if you can do exactly what you intended to do with whatever class you wanted to do it with X_X
