Some one should say it, if it hasn't been already.
The insult is so ubiquitous it no longer has any meaning on this forum.
I have read this insult lobbied at every conceivable type of player in a vain attempt to feel dominant over others.
If everyone is a scrub we all are. That word is the vernacular crutch of this game.
As is "HTFU", "git gud", and "Welcome to New Eden".
These throw away phrases put off new players (it did me) and bore everyone else.
They are lazy catch phrases and belie a false sense of entitlement that actives have.
It's the same type of environment a Fraternity lords over it's pledges. "We were hazed so now it's your turn."
It's lazy, unproductive, and uniquely male.
Dominion over others is given not taken. Nothing has power over you but your own fear.

I don't know, a cal scout with over 500 armor is still pretty scrubby imho.

A Calscout is incapable of reaching 500 armour. Even if you were to fill both lowslots are proto with complex plates you wouldn't break 400.
Where did this number come from?
(Not agreeing/disagreeing on the topic of armour tanking Calscouts though).
You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

As Arkena said, a Cal Scout cannot reach 500 armor with only 2 low slots. |

Dear Eruditus
Please consider the unimaginative banter seen presently in this forum as a spurious test. Hereupon, all who play Dust shall be tested by fire. By convention, members of this community, through repetitious insult and degradation, grind at the souls of said noobs in an attempt to winnow the weak from those with an iron constitution.
Any member who cannot, with a proud and clear voice, speak his/her mind in these forums and by consequence suffer the inevitable rash and moronic scurrility to follow, is deemed as unfit to play this game and will therefore be summarily bid adieu and asked to donate ISK upon their departure.
It is this inhumane treatment and, yes, hazing ritual, that divides Dust 514 from all other gamer communities. For nowhere else does such an unruly brotherly hatred drip from the tongue as in the words spoken here. I, personally, do not condone this behavior and find it reprehensible. Please accept my personal apology for any suffering that you may have sustained, as I extend this sentiment to the entire community.
But there is a saying, "When in Rome ..." so in the manner patterned by our Dust brethren, STFU.
See you on the battlefield, Clone D

Must have been an Amarr scout then, cause it sure as hell wasn't a Gal or Min scout. Could have sworn it said Ck.0, or maybe it was the booze talking...

What is your point? That there are no scrubs & everyone is equal ?

Personally I always run solo and my cal scout has 162 shield 219 armor maxed prof. Most weapons kill me in less than a second, if I kill you, watch your flank better, cause I'm a noob I've been told.

A scrub is a player who is handicapped by self-imposed rules that the game knows nothing about. A scrub does not play to win.
There is the mistaken notion, though, that by merely continuing to play or GÇ£learnGÇ¥ the game, one can become a top player. In reality, the GÇ£scrubGÇ¥ has many more mental obstacles to overcome than anything actually going on during the game. The scrub has lost the game even before it starts. HeGÇÖs lost the game even before deciding which game to play. His problem? He does not play to win.
The scrub would take great issue with this statement for he usually believes that he is playing to win, but he is bound up by an intricate construct of fictitious rules that prevents him from ever truly competing. These made-up rules vary from game to game, of course, but their character remains constant.
