Does anyone else detest being called a noob?

A good example in POTCO is a player in a War Frigate/Galleon/Sloop who waits for a beginner to come to sea and then proceeds to kill every beginner level enemy in sight forcing the beginner to hunt down suicidally larger prey or wait for them to respond. After which the Elite noob will simply destroy all the Ferrets, Bulwarks, Panthers, and Sea Vipers again despite the very low income from hunting such small prey.

I wasn't aware of that practice. If people put half the energy into becoming better pirates that they do being annoying, the game would be full of great players.

Em-don't worry. I had someone tell me I looked like a pro wrestler...being a girl that wasn't really thrilling to me. What I would have given for a "pile driver" emoticon right then.

As for reporting people; I've only done that twice in extreme situations where one player was repeatedly interfering with other players after being asked politely to stop. People shooting my ship? Not worth reporting.
