GW2 n00b Top Ten

For something a little different, instead of talking about the game or relating a story, I thought I'd try and provide some humour with a list of the "Top Ten ways to spot a GW2 n00b".

The assumption here is that not everyone we'll be playing with has been a rabid fan, following the development with bated breath and latching on to every Facebook post, Tweet or blog entry.  This list is how to spot these people in-game.  So, without further ado, here we go with "How to spot a Guild Wars 2 n00b once we get to play the game":


#10 - They refer to Charr as "Cow-thingies"
#9 -They don't think GW2 is a "real" MMO because they've made it to level 5 without being asked to kill 10 rats
#8 - They spam "Tank LF DPS + Heal" or "DPS LF Tank + Heal"
#7 - They complain about the "lack of content" because they can't find any ! over NPC's heads
#6 - They ask where to get your cool gear and you tell them it's from the HoM -- and they don't know what that means
#5 - They keep spamming "Where do I get a mount?"
#4 - They spend the first 5 minutes just jumping in place
#3 - They roll a female Norn, remove their armor and run around in their undies
#2 - They're bewildered why they couldn't choose Commando on the profession selection screen

and the #1 way to spot a n00b in Guild Wars 2 once we start playing:

They say "Finally!  I pre-ordered this, like, 2 months ago!  The wait has been driving me crazy!"

If you have any others to add to the list, feel free to post them in the comments -- we'd love to hear what you can come up with!
