I have a new one to the pest list.
Weaklings that say it isn't a run if you have to do something. Poor fools don't realize pressing two buttons on thy keyboard can take 10 minutes off the run.

Beware pests, Halloween is coming.

I hate that too. Age 19 ftw XD Jk lol. Age does not equal maturity. And I have never met anyone who said different, who didn't end up proving me right lol.

Taking a few seconds longer in busy fights to click an enemy because friendlies names get in the way and jiggle up and down to annoy you.

In the same vein, also annoys me how the area your heroes take up is much bigger than enemies (eg. clicking about 3 feet above Master of Whispers head on an enemy, and yet you still target MoW's, sigh!)

People who speak in full caps also annoy me as well as people who spam a question then ignore everyone who answers and keeps on spamming

1. Noob runners who think that Lornar's Pass is the way to go to Yaks from beacons, then call you a dumbass for not knowing that....

2. Being asked to join a guild everywhere I go.

Should say these complaints in game, usually I very politely and extremely clearly do it and players get this face -> O_O
Don't be silent or shy, explain yourself.

Anyway Frostmaw is a dear friend, I make many visits to him every day.

This is one of the most annoying things about the game in my opinion. Once your allies start getting into the fray, the game automatically prioritizes your party member's hitboxes over any other target in the game. If I had done the game, then I would have done it in total reverse as less than half of the professions/skills in the game actually require targeting a party member in the first place.

The other things that annoy me in Guild Wars are:
* How somehow Doomlore Shrine was upgraded to "town" despite that it is just a shrine that's been overrun by allied Charr, and it is missing half of the NPCs. And on that note, how Eye of the North was degraded from town to outpost despite that it has all the NPCs there. To me it just goes to show how badly they planned the map.
* Half of the content in the game is derived from pop-culture in-jokes as if they remain funny after two months after you first hear them. I mean, when your game features a quest called "More Cowbell" and you have to look at Blue Oysters, then it is just sad. I hope like heck that Guild Wars 2 doesn't turn into a giant in-joke, where a paragon weapon is named Spears of Britney or a quest is named "Jhon and Kayte Plus Eight".

8. Ppl who think that they are leet if they powertrade.

Yes little boys... Powertrading makes your RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO bigger.

Plurgg and his immortal Kappa piece. :/
I've been trying for the greater portion of all damned day to work toward my Asura summons, but that bastage stands firmly in my way.

IntrospectivePirate · Oct 05, 2009, 03:23 AM // 03:23

1. Spamadan
2. Mhenlo
3. The fact that Togo doesnt use Dragon Empire Rage when he gets older
4. Henchmen
5. Frenzy
6. Abbadon as a boss (weak)
7. Koss/ Melonni side story

Bojeeng · Oct 05, 2009, 03:40 AM // 03:40

Hmm, been playing Guild Wars actively for 1 month now. Own all 4 games.

1. People calling me noob for not knowing all the GW Terms... i didnt know UWSC was UW Speed Clear... or some other stuff... I am still not sure what Wammo is... Warrior or Warrior/Monk? No clue what smiting is... lol

2. perma your way past a mission/dung or whatever.. its no fun. I play assa... but i never touched SF.

3. Thinking im noob just because i did not dye my armor black/white

4. People hating on me for using a PVX spike build. Don't see the problem in it. It's not godlike.

5. This one is bothering me a little.... but since when do u need a certain rank/title to join an AB oriented guild?

6. Someone who isnt patient in a mission and lures every single mob

*sidenote: " i never knew there was a difference between Tomb and Tome.... i never even knew the word Tome existed, but i knew Tomb was a gravestone, but i also thought that a book could be called that to. ( German is my first language )

7. People begging for 50g for storage.

8. That it takes so long to farm chaos gloves =P the glows attract my eyes >.>

I think thats about it. Other then that i enjoy the game. Love to play it even with the dorks around.

This makes me sadface

This is very high on my list than you tell them "what do you want for it i have more money than time" and they still remain clammed

random invites : you have no idea why i am here why are you inviting me (lately I accept these invites and map them to Timbuktu)

random pm's from people trying to sell me over priced junk rilly what makes you think that i can afford 85ectos for anything? oh its the vabbi armor and chaos gloves. I assure you I am broke (from buying aforementioned luxury armors)

use of 'l33t' or any variant to replace elite one extra keystroke to not look like a blithering idiot is it that hard?

u to replace you or r to replace are any other text-isms (see above)

Language laden with the following

Evaluative bias, Fundamental Attribution Errors, Assimilation Bias and Selective Observations

"Laughing out loud" I also saw what you wrote about keystroke lazyness

I am not sure if I have mentioned this, but it really is the thing that annoys me most about GW if not speaking of the players:

GoM: Hmmm so you fight your way through an eyesore of a godrealm, since the god being evil and all he has no taste of decorating and everything must look evil. That is fine by me really.
But why? WHY did those two have to appear?? I mean not just are they even more annoying to kill than the final boss, who is a god for crying out loud, but they make no sense!

Shiro: "Aaah yes, my mortal body have been incased in jade, yet I somehow retain a physical form instead of a spiritual one not to mention my former envoy comrades have been imprisoning me somewhere that they were certain would keep me down for the rest of eternity, yet I somehow escaped, leaving no clues whatsoever as to how. And now here I stand. Not having learned anything from my previous experience against the heroes of Cantha, of whom some are actually comming here once again, possibly stronger than ever, whereas I have actually lost some of my skills and yet I shall keep taunting them."

Lich: "Even though I have been completely and utterly destroyed by the heroes of Ascalon, who I strangely recognise in this group, I can still move around fighting for a god purely with magic and brute force, instead of fighting for myself as I did venturing for the flameseeker prophecies using trickery and evil planning to get to my goal. It is perfectly reasonable that I would never once have mentioned having a master that not just created me, but controlled my every move, not to mention my physical body is that of Vizier Khilbron who must somehow have gotten here for reasons unknown. Now to battle! Muahahahaha!"

Not to mention the annoying cliché of having the 2 former super bosses fight before the final battle >.< This is not Super Mario!

People/Guilds who think "mature" means being politcally correct having a stick so far up your hindparts that it comes out your mouth.

Definitely no. One that requires that over perceived skill must suck.

My peeves:

-Cocky capeleechers
-Defy Pain
-Terribad allied teams in AB
-"LFG KNOWS SPEED CAP"
-Ragequitters
-Overextend frontline

OH that drives me insane. I know you're not actually laughing all the time and if you are, you need help.
The only thing worse is when people add smiley face things at the end of every sentence ^^
Know what i mean? ^^

Did the fact that the item itself has "Tome" clearly in its name not give you a hint?

People like you are a pet peeve of mine. "WTS mes tomb!" "WTB elite war tomb!"

Yes, let's all just never read the item's name!

Taurus ChicKa · Oct 05, 2009, 08:02 PM // 20:02

NOTE: I copied these from another website, so that's why there are so many - they added up over time.

I hate the people spamming "WTB Guild Wars accounts" like people will actually listen to them.

It's uber annoying when you can ping a target and no one else will go for that target (example: drop the monk first, not the assassin), so we all die because no one can focus on the same target.

People who want to sell something, and when you ask them how much and they say offer, you offer something and they laugh and say no, then won't talk to you again.

People who are being very bossy in the game and raging if a lag causes you to fall behind, and then if something doesn't go their way they leave.

Total noobs who know nothing about what they're doing getting the best drops (like golds, black dye, or a rare-skinned green like Bow of the Kinslayer). I was in Shards of Orr once and our monk went afk like 50% of the dungeon without warning. So of course we couldn't progress because we needed the heals. We could have started over, but the 50% that she was gone was on the very last level. And guess what? She got a bone dragon staff. Same thing happened in Frostmaw and she got a r9 silverwing recurve bow. I hate when that happens

In PVP when people always complain about your build and if you don't modify it, or don't have a skill unlocked to do so, they kick you from the group. Or you could be in a match and someone will just rage quit because they're losing and they're not being a team player.

AB: It's very annoying when the key to winning AB is capping, not running around trying to kill a mob of 20+ people in a team of 4. You could spam CAP CAP CAP and they won't listen or they tell you to "stfu".

It is very annoying to get reported for leeching just because your map isn't loaded. It happens more than people think; but luckily I think ANet can check that and determine that you weren't actually leeching, but loading.

As for the hordes of people in PVP/AB, I hate when you're running by yourself because you just died and got separated from your team, and here comes a group of 10+ people that decide it would be cool to take out ONE person who's just running to rejoin their team and not even bothering them. Guess it makes their epeen look bigger to outnumber an individual and take them out and call them a noob. I hate that.

I absolutely hate when you get into a PUG and without asking if everyone's ready, someone just zones into the mission when someone could have one skill on their bar. If you're that impatient, wait until we get it done right so that you won't have to wait longer because someone needs to fix their build.

That's for missions. Explorable areas, like if you're running to a dungeon and enter, and then go back out to get the quest (if it's right by the door), that's fine but not everyone connects at lightning speed. Don't just grab the quest and zone back in; wait for everyone else to say they have the quest. And don't zone back out of the dungeon to grab the quest after entering it until everyone's connected or you just lose them. Sheesh.

In addition to people spamming their Zaishen emotes in towns and outposts, how about people who run around naked just in the hopes of getting attention? And people spamming in all chat "looking for hot bf/gf to cyber"...seriously, that's not what this game is for. It gets to the point where I turn off local chat.

I've got a bunch of mysterious tonics and summoning stones from Nicholas, and it irks me to no end when I use one of the tonics and turn into something I've had 50 million of - elves, snowmen, Grentches, candy corn people, and golems. Give me something that isn't so common and boring please.

Summoning stones, same thing. I love using them in battle and they can be helpful, but I hate when I get something useless like a snowman or a sin because, first of all, what good are snowballs in actual combat, and second, the sin NPC's can't control their aggro and try to tank, ending up dead. And that leaves me one summoning stone short. Please give me something useful and unboring.

Okay, I'm done. Again, these were copied from another site, so rather than put them in 50 posts, I'll put them all in one. hehe

People who shorten words that are already short enough.

ppl who shortn words tht r alrdy short enuf. Like, what the heck. Did vowels suddenly become optional? I can forgive the occasional spelling mistake, but really.

I forget where I heard this, (If someone knows, please remind me) but I seem to quote it often in these cases. 'If you say 'plz' because it's shorter than 'please', I will say 'no' because it's shorter than 'yes'.'
