Experts vs Novice Players

I think that there are several differences between expert game players and novice game players. On a very basic level, I would say that expert game players are better at the games they play, have logged more hours playing, and get higher scores. They are also the players that are able to exploit loopholes, and take advantage of glitches or secret levels. Novice players are newer, less experienced, and not as likely to do as well in the games they play. However, I would also say that there a possibility of looking at the difference between experts and novices in terms of motivation for game play. I think that when I think of an expert game player, I think more about competition or doing it for a job, and less about enjoyment. When I think of novices, I think they are more invested in enjoying the game.
