Hi everyone, I have not written in awhile. With this piece I will explore the two various campgrounds of "noobs" that exist within Blitz and assert that all noobs cannot be faulted for their mistakes.
Group 1: The ignorant noob.
The ignorant noobs are the players you see driving around in their M60's or tier 8 premiums that were bought on a flash sale. These kinds of players usually have below 50% WR's and less than 2k battles, their highest tech tree tank being almost always below 8, and usually somewhere around tier 5-6. The forum community certainly gets frustrated with these players, but I think you can't really fault them. Why? They have less than 2000 battles. That's even being generous, usually they have less than 1k battles. Who here watched every Bushka video before they started playing? Who visited the forum before they downloaded the game and read the guides? Little to most likely none. This group of players doesn't know any better, and frankly the logic that the tanks do "get better" is true, however they do not realize that with higher tiers also requires better driving, because said high tiers are much less forgiving. As much as you and I get frustrated with these people, you cannot fault the ignorantly innocent. You can only point them in the right direction and cross your fingers, hoping they escape the shackles of their own ineptitude.
Group 2: The noob by choice.
This group of noobs are the players who have been given the opportunity between the red pill and blue pill, and have always taken the blue pill. These are the people to be rightfully frustrated with. After let's say 10k+ battles, those that wish to remain uninformed by pushing away help, yet complain about high tiers being rigged, and "dumb teams" when they are actually part of the problem are the real noobs in my opinion. You see these posts almost every week on the forums such as how the RU 251 does not have enough armor to yolo successfully into the red team, or something to that effect.
Conclusion:
You can't really be angry at the ignorant noobs. We all were ignorant at one point or another. As for the other group... I'm all for having fun, but when you piss off 6 other people in the process because you think capturing the base on Copperfield is the grand master plan after having the battle experience to have an inkling to know better, or to at least know otherwise... mmmm.... that's when I get frustrated.
Do you still think ignorant noobs should be at fault? Why? What frustrates you about the player base? What is your definition of a noob?
Forgive them Father, they know not what they do.
