Since most of the customer base is the younger generation... That's a good point. Although new-grads are still grads... they aren't just some people who came in off the street, with almost no experience.

I think the problem here is the word "noob", we are looking at it differently. When I think of noob I take it literally. Sounds like you're talking about intermediate players. Players that have learned the basics but still have a long way to go.

Just look at the definition of noob: "someone who has just started doing something, especially playing a computer game or using a type of software, and so does not know much about it."

Or this one from Dictionary.com slang section: "In internet slang, noobs are hapless, unskilled beginners who don't know what they are doing. As far as gamers are concerned, a noob is a nothing more than an easy kill—or a real nuisance as a teammate."

That's how I have understood the word noob.

I certainly agree that people see things differently at different phases of life. So even in the time frame of a game, we see it differently. I still remember once having no R$ at all. Not even enough to service a car. Now I never think about buying anything and everything with R$.

I agree that a broad variety of perspective is important.
