measure of being a pro

[Split Ends]

i've been hearing a lot lately about players being noob and pros and stuff, but the question i have in mind is what qualifies a pro to be a pro?

what basis do you use in classifying a player as a noob or PRO?

which one has a higher priority for you in classifying them?

[Fabre]

well first of all i dont call anyone a noob, thats mean. and unprofessional of the person who does it.(even though it is a weapon used to belittle someone to give the one using a psychological edge over them). but i do use the term newb, which is a word that simply means new and doesnt know yet. i think what makes folk pro is thier abilities to use thier classes well and with great ability. most wizards for example are not pro by any means or they would be able to run a party with out bragi. and be successfull. i am not pro with any class except soul linker. probably much better than most linkers. and it is my skill with the class that i think makes me pro, and my abilities not to leave the party and die, and keep a party alive and use of switching of skills for the best offence against ea. mobb. i do however have some noob/failed points spent that i need to reset and fix, but even with that loss of usefull points, i am still an awesome linker.

so in conclusion the only thing that makes you pro is your opinions, comeing from someone else isnt exactly realistic definition. and also be warry of those who claim pro because of haveing expencive equips, often times those folk arent pro they are technically fail, they are considered better because of the equips they have covering thier lack of actual skill.

oh and sorry didnt read the poll, at the top. and seeing the different choices i see how better you want an answer. there are of course pro for both catagories, i consider my skills vs monsters and mvps. but on a different lvl with an equal consideration there are those that are pro at pvp, and have that paly style. i think pvp is a waste on account no items; exp; is gained. but that doesnt mean i think it makes them noob. my play style is one of vs monsters, and that is where i can be judged pro or "noob" when i go to pvp i cant even be judged there. yes i am fail.
but its not a serious problem since it is not where i even try. nor care to.

so i cant choose iether choice since i think there is an equal chance of noob-->pro status for both catagories

Poll doesn't make sense to me either. There is no being pro because they're better at one aspect of the game over the other, so the best aspect takes all the light and the other can go cry in the corner. PvP usually requires more strategy in equips and your own buff items (strategy in equips not being OMG EXPENSIVE SO COOL but knowing what does what and when it's going to be needed then getting to it fast enough for it to be useful). MvPing requires team strategy, using the map to your advantage, sometimes leaderships skills if you start the party, and making sure the priest brought enough bgems damnit I have been at fault for this. They're both equal.

In my opinion a pro player knows what the hell they're doing. Professors, Priests, and other skill-tastic classes are at the very least AWARE of battlemode (I'm kind of bummed no one told me about that until recently). They know the ins and outs of how one class's stats work and use that to their advantage. If they mainly MvP, they have the bare-minimum basic knowledge of how to PvP, usually because they know their class. If they mainly PvP, vice versa. Pro players exercise common sense and are at least cordial and pay attention in any parties they are a part of, and can also work without a bragislave.

If you suck at one class, find someone who doesn't and ask for advice. That's what I do. Then you at least know how not to suck so hard and you can practice at being better.

I decide who is pro and who is noob.

If you can survive a nuke, you're pro.

Agreed. Strike my last post, it sucks. It shows how not-pro I am.

I don't really put people into categories of pro and not pro and noob and whatnot. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. To have a static determination of pro or not is much too judgmental, for my liking.
