The coming of the Lolfacenoobawad...Follow

Before I write anymore let me explain that term. My brother and I developed that term when we played runescape. It's an insult. One of epic proportions. We used it to reference people who had reached a high level in the game but were still utter and total noobs. They surrounded themselves in miserable ignorance, they loved to beg, they would insult you in a heart beat. These my friends were the dreaded Lolfacenoobawads...

Anyways as most of none of you know I play on Shu'halo as a lvl 74 NE hunter. Shu'halo has been rather good with it's high lvls as if you asked one just about 80% of them could answer most questions you needed. Granted there was an idiot here or there but nothing major.

With the introduction of WOTLK it seems stupidity has grown... scratch that. Stupidity has sky rocketed. Which I don't mind. Anyways this is what gets me.

I'm questing in Dragonblight last night. A 72 hunter post on the general chat "Can you tame a mob thats higher lvl than you?" people just start flaming him with things like your an idiot, you've failed as a hunter, reroll your class NOW. and other things like that. I try and be nice and message him, "You can only tame a beast your level or lower it goes with the lore of the class being able to control the beast they tame." The guy gets mad at me with all these angry replies then puts me on ignore once I try to reply to him. So move on and say whatever.

Another situation... I need a particular mob from dragonblight in which a NE druid is also sitting there waiting for it. I invited him to a group so we can both get it and it won't be a tag race, he joins and we kill the mob. So I say thx and leave the group and go on about my business. 3 mins later he messages me, "Can you help me with a couple of quests?" I'm 4 bars from a level but I say hey i should b a little kind, so i say "Depends on which ones?" he links like 12 different quests, most of which I've already did. I reply, "I'm almost lvl 74, so I don't want to stop questing but if you want I can tell you where are the quests are?"

He starts asking me about the different quests to which i giveh him info and instructions. Soon he asks me to stop what I am doing and help him, I say give me an half hour, he finally says "Stop being a prick, you said you were going to help are you going to do it or not?" I say no and ignore him.

My friends, the lolfacenoobawads have invaded wow...

It's Barrens Chat, and it's migrating as the masses level up.

Except an invasion of heavily armed Nuck Chorris jokes backed up by battalions of Saurfang artillery puns.

Lol I don't know what you're talking about :D


For a long time there were alot of murloc jokes circulating our trade channel. I'm suprise that those didn't get resserected with the new D.E.H.T.A. help the murlocs quests.

This thread is full of win. It's great you and your brother are so close though.

Its not invading, its always been here far as I can tell. :P Everyone encounters people like this at one time or another, even in WoW.

I had one last night. I was doing some quests in Grizzly Hills. Now for the most part, if I reach an area and another person needs the same pops or a named mob, I'll offer to party, or they will and we team up and both get credit.

Well, I was killing these trapper guys, I think you need 12 and one named mob in the building. I had already killed the named, and was at 10/12 on the trappers. This paladin comes up and asks if I want to team up. For whatever reason I didn't feel like it so I told him I just needed two more so I'll pass. There were plenty of mobs. So I go off to pounce another and I see a hammer fly down and claim it. Apparently the paladin has decided that he's going to punish me for not teaming with him by ninjaing my mobs.

That's ok. My /throw has longer reach, and what's more for whatever reason, whether its my connection or whatever, if I know exactly where a mob is going to pop I can almost always cheap shot it faster than any other class can claim. So I camped the named for a while. :D The paladin laid down his consecrate. Point of reference for paladins. Don't bother with consecrate to claim. It ticks slowly. If a rogue can flee through maiden's consecrate and get a garrote off, your consecrate isn't going to claim before the rogue.

I think he learned a thing or two about being a jerk that day. At least I hope. He probably didn't.

What I find excpetionaly painful is when people who are in the upper level of a zone's bracket and are begging for help for quests that are 5-10 levels lower than they are...

Lol, I can't seem to find his post. However, I'm surprised I'm not sub-default. Usually my post do a good job of inspiring hate in people.


Has anyone developed any other good classification names for individuals like this? (Lolfacenoobawads)

IIRC, it's only the first "wave" of Consecration that "hits" the mob that doesn't tag the mob for you. Unless they've changed the mechanism recently, I'm pretty sure that subsequent waves will in fact tag it for you. If your competitor is smart enough though, like you obviously are, he will tag it himself in the time it takes for the second wave to hit, which is why Consecration is generally ineffective for this purpose.

I'm wondering though, is it safe to assume you're on a non-PVP server? Because I'd be mildly worried about Judging the first member of the opposite faction that walks up to the boss spawn point while you're sitting there spamming it.

Lolfacenoobawad = my EX

Now personally I think that expansions tend to bring people back to the basics, learning your class in a leveling aspect all over again. And you cant forget, some of these people you see have quit the game 6+ months ago, only to come back and completely forget what they are doing.

It only makes sense to me that a hunter would forget what level they can tame pets with, seems like a pretty common mistake for someone who hasnt played in 6+months OR hasnt leveled a toon in god knows over a year?

My EX bought the origonal game, leveled to 60, quit, bought the expansion, leveled to 70 in 2 weeks, quit, then came back for WOLK, will level to 80, then quit. You know people do that kind of stuff all of the time.

It makes no sense to the people who raid and whatnot, but your likely experiencing my EX who is a complete n00b, and thankfully will quit at 80 and not attempt to raid and wipe us 30,000 times.

Holy shock FTW...although I believe my judgements now have a farther range with talents since the expansion. If you're looking to tag a group of mobs consecration is far more likely to grab them. Single target though...far too slow. Judge/shock/Avenger's Shield them depending on spec.






That comment is full of win. I'm tagging that for my new signature...




In all honesty, there is just plain common sense and basics. It doesn't change in end game. It doesn't change in expansions. Its the same from start to finish. They had no common sense and there is no excuse for it. The only "excuse" is that new content brings concentrated groups of players. More people = more idiots (the big city concept).

Now all of our trade trolls are out pretending they actually know how to play. The biggest upside I've seen to Wrath so far is a near total absence of idiots in trade on my server.

Something that stood out to me was the amount people who couldn't do the DK quests without someone holding their hand, and wiping their *** for them. "How do I turn in the horse?" "Where's the eye of Archaes?" "OMG WHERES KINGS HARBOR!!!!!!!!!!!" "Why is Arthas in the hold and out here??!?!?" "Why cant i pwn any allis yet?"

Really I'm suprised they got a character to 55 to even be able to make a DK. Granted, I've ran through the DK starting quests 3 or 4 times, but still READ THE @#%^ING QUEST LOG, IT'S ALL RIGHT THERE!!!!!!!!

The word is stupid. I'll never use it, nor endorse it. That is all.
