Ya, I agree that hours may not be the best way to measure 'noobness' but I say generally around 200-300 hours most players are out of that 'noob' stage and pretty much know what's going on. Of course as with anything, there are exceptions. If you pick up games quick you might leave noob status at 50 hours.. Or the opposite it could be even 400 hours. These are just my observations from playing and dealing with people.
