Honestly, I am about to hit level 32 and played the alpha & beat and I still consider myself a Christmas noob only because I'm just not as knowledgeable when it comes to the lore and tricks to the game. Yes I can raid, pretty damn good at it too if I do say so myself, I'm pretty decent in crucible, but still I consider myself a Christmas noob because I haven't went through the pain and sufferin the vets did.
