Why are usually the worst performing players the ones calling noobs the rest?

Because of this.

I usually publicly apologise when I do this rather than bragging. 

 

Which makes you a thoroughly decent chap rather than the smug sods I encountered yesterday, one of whom started blowing his own trumpet about he 'owned' me in his t7 bb and the other of whom gave an 'apology' of the 'Sorry I'm so good and you're so bad' sort. Amusingly in 1 game I went on to kill 2 ships despite being left on 2k hp after a single salvo and in the other I was the only thing he killed as he grounded himself on the island he was firing behind, a DD lit him up and torped him down while he was reversing.

Had fun battle yesterday. Two guys in a division, bot in BBs. The whole team goes east, some small talk on the chat. I asked those guys to go with the group and got no response. Just a few minutes later they run head on into the whole enemy fleet and die without any kills. What they do? They start calling the team noobs and that no one helped them. Once we started pointing out that we asked them to join us and if they were so experienced they could try to get command or just suggest, the only response we got was "stfu". Hard to not to laugh.

Welcome to online gaming, where its all the teams fault and never yours. That is the thing i don't get how do you think you will improve if you never think it is your mistake 0.o.

The funny thing is.. the more offensive they are, the more noobs are themselves. To anyone with any resemblance of a brain, any mistake can be identified and corrected and almost all are personal mistakes, for various reasons. To noobs, or brainless individuals, they cannot make mistakes, so it must be someone else, in this case, their team.

 

Just think of this when you see them raging in chat: You would be upset too if you would be one of them guys.

In response to OP question:

 

Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hatred, and hatred leads to the dark side of the force!

Noob is just derogatory term nowadays. Its mostly from players who are new themselves (or think tier 5 is an achievement).

 

Of course, as most moaners, they start to talk crap after they die (which I only view as sign of bad character) and my favorite respons is:

-If he is a noob and your dead, what does that make you? A super noob?

 

Of course it only gets worse from there on....so its usually not worth it. Report system dont stop anybody either.

The real reason it's the worst players who complain about noobs is explained here.

[mtm78]

No no no it's...

You do know that is exactly the effect John Cleese was describing there right?  He even metions one of the researchers David Dunning, whom he knows.

I know, but mine is shorter and those who wot don't need more than that image. 

 

The video is nice though I admit ;)

What bothers me more in this game is the low penalty for teamkilling. 
My Kuma got shot for over 50% by TK one game because some douchebag in a BB blindsided me and steered right into me. So after hitting me he opened fire and i got the full volley in my citadel. 

I then only got 3.000 credits for the damage. 

 

In my opinion FF should be way more expensive!
