Expert vs. Novice

Well expert game players would be people who inherently know the framework of the game, can navigate within its constraints fluidly and predict what the game world will throw at them. They understand what is going on within their present space, and can apply that knowledge to give them a greater understanding of the game as a whole. Novice players simply move throughout the world with a limited scope of its elements, and often miss parts of it entirely. They do not understand many game mechanics, and must work at each and every step, where experts may flow through steps simultaneously.
