What is a Noob?! – Trash Talk in Guild Wars Hero Battles

I normally write rants that are directed at the Guild Wars developers, but this one is going out to a certain group of players. You know who you are. It basically goes like this, I don’t think the Guild Wars community understands the definition of the word “noob”.
