The noob I adopted.
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was working on my 3rd lvl 20 character (when I realized lvl 30 was for people with multiple cahracters) and around lvl 12 or so I grouped with this guy. We'll just call him"Tank."
I explained to him the awesomeness of bounties, and not to feel attached to any loot before lvl 20. I showed him the quick path to 20, and what to do once you get there. I explained the awesomeness of legendaries, and why light was the only armor stat worth mentioning (for now). He watched from the sidelines as I repeatedly grinded Vault of Glass with my other friends and PUGs (pick-up groups) trying to get those #%!@ VoG Warlock gloves - which I do not have to this day.
We clan hopped a bit, trying to find one that felt right. Some were awesome but raided too early, others quit playing and didn't raid at all (until the new DLC). But to look at Tank now, and the Guardian he has become... He is famous among friends for his ability to throw a raid group together in 5 minutes, and a GOOD raid group together in 10 =) and his Grimoire score has steadily outpaced mine over the last two weeks.
This one's for you, bro! We may be in different clans, and I may finish my 3rd Crota run before you every week, but the game just wouldn't be the same without party invites and good times with Tank!

Soon that sweet noob with the puppy eyes turns into the elitist, opportunistic douchebag we encountered since launch. Noob: YOU'RE NOT A 32 YET?! F*CKING CASUAL! I'M NOT CARRYING YOU! Me: I had to explain the game's mechanics and basic premise to you two weeks ago! I view xmas noobs and Day 1 players as the same. There's going to be decent players and douchebags. I've helped out and befriended some decent new players. However, it does get infuriating when you befriend and help out an xmas noob, only for him to reach 32 and watch his ego inflate. In hindsight their naivete and compliments are just a calculated means to help them and once they reach max level they no longer need you and feel they're elite.
