Grimoire score is a great way to determine play time in the game which relates to how experienced you are.

In my experience of every game I have ever played, play time has very little to do with skill

I said [u]experience[/u], not skill.

Edited by JordanU: 9/13/2015 12:34:31 PMNot really. My Grimoire is only 2645, yet I still tend to do better than most players. This is really only the case because I stopped playing for about a year, and I don't have Dark Below dlc.

Well, elaborate on what you mean by experience. When someone talks about how someone is experienced in FPS games, it usually translates into their skill as a player.
-
Experience literally means you've done it a lot. It is not tied to skill at all. Think of it like the difference between an athlete that trained day and night for years in a sport, that is experience. The other athlete has little training but has natural talent that allows him to get away with it. Both are equal in ability, but by different means.

You get what I meant. :)

No it isn't, I could have 2600 grimoire (I have 3600+) and still be ten times more effective than you in a raid or control match.
-
I said [u]experience[/u], not skill.
-
You don't have 3600+
-
Oh know, I was just under 200 off. Sorry I hurt your feelings.
-
I don't think that this is accurate.
-
It is for experience, skill is a matter of how good you are in first person shooters generally, but if someone has played a lot more than another the grimoire score reflects it. OP asked how determine a noob which means an inexperienced player, their grimoire score would reflect their play-time respectively.

My first 20 hours of Vanilla Destiny, I only played PvP. I stopped playing strikes because they bore me, I have a gazillion of Raid finishes on both difficulties, I carry people through the raids, I could Solo all of Crota (before the Shotgun/Gjallahorn nerf), I was able to solo Atheon with my Sunsinger. I am also in the top 1% in terms PvP skill. What I do not have however, is a high Grimoire score because I hate collecting stuff like ghosts, I don't get any enjoyment of searching and killing certain Enemy types (Hydra/Ogre/ and what not), I hate the repetitive strikes by now, and I personally couldn't care less about my Grimoire score. I didn't even make myself a 3rd character until HoW, because Titans bore me as well. But who says no to a free exotic chest? Getting my Titan to 20 was the most boring thing I did in this game. So personally I do not think that Grimoire matters a lot. If someone has 500 Grimoire, it stands to reason that he is a noob, yes, but after entering the 1000s, it really stops to matter that much.

Edited by GriffinRSX: 9/13/2015 5:27:49 PMGenerally, it does though. Just like KDR and WLR, they aren't super accurate, but they give a good glimpse at how much you play. A noob may only have grimoire in the thousands, but when you play more and more content the score grows, which for the most part shows experience. Edit: looking at how long they play in the stats page also tells you what grimoire can't. That's where your case would be told, I can see how much you play control.
