I just.. Don't see how you can be 65 with 7k kills. I got 7k kills before 35 on my twinks... And I got power leveled. Even my main was helped by full groups, and some 55's, to 50, and I still had 12k kills. Sigh. The only way I see anyone getting 7k kills at 65 would be to leach themselves in the games, unless they're an elf and "only have time to heal."
... Right. Anyway. No, you're not a "noob" if you have low kills. But the argument that the 21's were leaching and the 65 was tired of it is a hypocritical idea to me. :)
