I was talking to a fairly new player the other day. She wanted to try PvP so I suggested a scam where she use a contract experiment to get someone to steal some loot. I suggested that she find another new player to try and trick. It occurred to me latter that griefing in noob systems is frowned upon. I just want to see if its OK for noobs to gank other noobs in starter systems, or will it be assumed that she is a retread player?

It's assumed that you are a retreaded player for using the word noob.

Noob, newbie, nooblet, nub, newb, new player, noobzor.

Who cares what they are called.

@OP

Griefing in starting systems whether by a vet or a nooblet, is still against the rules.

It's quite normal even noobs cannot grief, simply because said "noob" could easily be an alt of a vet.

Player A =real noob

Player B=vet rookie alt

Player B griefs player A and kill it - Is this banable offense or intended tactic? (of course no vet has ever thought about this right?)

I spent much of my noobdom griefing other noobs.

They'd say: "Hey! I'm just trying to learn the game here!" to which I would reply: "Yeah? Me too! :D"

A noob isn't the same thing as a newb. They aren't mutually exclusive, but they aren't one in the same either.

This is actually not true.

Fixed that for you.

And the assumption here is that most noobs are actually noobs?

Non-actual noobs can be identified by the way they never undock from the starting station, or immediately move to Jita and stay there.
