* Neglect of the English language: tombs instead of tomes etc, sms chat.
* Too many abbrev's. Some are not even mentioned on Wiki.
* Players who ask questions in guild/ally chat without having searched for an answer first. (Try wiki/guru/pvxbuilds first)
* Newbie bashing / no noobs etc. (We all have been new, you better teach them a thing or two)
* Skill nazi's (Kicking players who don't run common builds)
* Players who don't take advice. (Stay away from the Griffins! Stay away from the Griffins! (FoW) ...someone runs into griffins, aggroes them and let party die a minute later)

"XD" is vastly more annoying than "lol".. I'd go as far to say "XD" is a pet peeve.

My other would be bad players who think their opinion matters and aren't actually aware of how horrible they are at Guild Wars, them.

Mangled language (on purpose) Don't mind some shortcuts like lol or ty, but the i c u crap along with a plethora of other words leetspeak and netspeak words like pwn (unfortunately far too pervasive to end

) need to seriously go.

Asshattery... I don't care who you are or how good you are (or think you are), if you act like a jackass, I'd prefer you be on some other planet with no internet. I'd rather play with a polite retard and lose for five hours straight than spend five seconds with an asshat in my group

That whole XXway thing. IWAY was an acronym for the skill.. There is NO SUCH THING as Henchway, Heroway, gobuggeryourselfway, etc.. It's stupid... find something... anything... that is at least marginally more imaginative.

Elitist douchebags... See Asshattery above.

Spamming anything in local chat, but especially gold/account sellers and people that refuse to use the trade channel despite knowing better.

Oh and two words..
Noob and any of its variants. Don't consider newbie to be part of that myself.
Toon.. I have characters, not "toons". You want toons, go play something that looks more cartoony.

People who think the internet is serious business.

People who cry about swearing in game...there is a swear filter for a reason people.

People who report me for an "offensive name" - get a life and stop worrying about my game.

Technically any weapon that is of max damage and equipped with the highest type of mod(+30, 20/20, 3/-1 etc....) is perfect. It may not be "perfect" to you, but it still is perfect

Hott Bill · Oct 30, 2007, 02:27 AM // 02:27

Technically speaking a perfect gold is Req.7-9 15^50 +30 20/20
But while in Kamadan (or LA/KC) I have seen this a couple times:
Selling PERFECT Fellblade:
"Req.13 14^Hexed 20/17 +7 Physical Dmg!!!!!!1 1337 1337"
(Note the !!!!!!1 when people release the shift button to early, this pisses me off also)

Divinus Stella · Oct 30, 2007, 02:27 AM // 02:27

People who blame elitism for everything.
Aftercasts on spells like frozen burst.

Pet Peeve: People thinking Sundering is a perfect mod!

EDIT: LAWL at above post.

Malice Black · Oct 30, 2007, 02:29 AM // 02:29

Technically speaking the most perfect gold in the game is the 15% no neg req8 Dwarvern axe. I'd own it if it wasn't customized

Hey I'm right with you, I prefer Furious mods on my warrior's weapons.

Malice Black · Oct 30, 2007, 02:33 AM // 02:33

Oooo! I got one!

People adding 20/20 and +30hp and thinking it makes it a high end item /ban

If I had a penny for everyone...I'd have a lot of pennies

Ooo!

-5 (20%) <~~this mods sucks, yet still people insist it's l33t *sigh*

/endrant

Zeek Aran · Oct 30, 2007, 02:40 AM // 02:40

D: What's wrong with it? *never heard discrimination towards it* *huggles Sunreach's Shield*

Edit reply: Those are conditional... how is unconditional worse?

Second edit reply: Against any group... unless you are wintering, all the damage will be different. +5 20% works against all. *confused*

Hott Bill · Oct 30, 2007, 02:43 AM // 02:43

I prefer a specific mod myself, or in the case of my monk a different shield +30 +10 armor vs. XX Dmg(Fire lightning ect...)

EDIT:Because if you do not understand the environment you are in, (creatures general elemental damage in the area) how do you expect to adapt to better understand the mechanics in this game?

2nd EDIT: (Right before the 3rd edit which includes the pinching and hair pulling) Then put a +10 VS. Cold damage mod on your shield. Either way -5/20% or +10 VS. XX We're talking about a few damage here and there.

Malice Black · Oct 30, 2007, 02:46 AM // 02:46

I have an aversion to anything that is l33t...

Death By Ketchup · Oct 30, 2007, 02:48 AM // 02:48

People who spam in unpopulated outposts,
"WTS XXX ITEM PM ME!!!!" in magumma slade.

Zraves? It's req12...

One pet peeve for me, is people who don't understand why Sundering is good on certain weapons, like Axe, Hammer and Scythe.

I do on occasion put sundering mods on hammers because on a critical hit, and when the sundering kicks in, that can be the death threat for almost any class.
