I can't stand the people who add me to their friends list without saying anything, and then start a conversation weeks later like i should know who they are.

Or when I'm in town and answer someones question to help them out, and suddenly I'm getting spammed every newb question in the book. Where do i buy armor?

The only thing I hate... is lag

I'd have to say:
  • Build beggers

  • People who wont accept advice because their build is "perfect" and have been playing for 2 years

  • People who continuously invite you even though you've rejected about 10 times already

  • "NO I'M RIGHT"

  • "wow I was so good we won because of me"

  • People who think tanking is essential in PvE

  • People who think warriors are for tanking

  • 90% of male warriors

I don't hate any of them, but I avoid a lot of different types. There are so many playing styles that can be bad, that I can't list them all. One pet peeve has come to mind recently that irked me in my own alliance. People who are build micromanagers. I play with a lot of good people and I know the game really well myself. I think it's embarrassing when a guild mate or alliance member asks to see everyone's build and suggests changes when it's for a simple quest! Give me a break! I can totally understand wanting to manage team builds when it's appropriate but for pve questing in normal mode. That's just a control freak that thinks they know the game better than others.

1. immature players
2. anyone who thinks 1v1 proves anything, refer back to number 1
3. ebayers

had this one guy tell me that a req13 weapon does more damage than a req9 weapon with the same attribute points. when i tried to correct him, he came over and ranked me with his ebayed tiger.

QFT.

I must admit though that my very first character was a warrior/monk ;(. After i saw how overplayed (and just generally how stupid ppl who play warriors can be) I made a new character.

One of the many things that I hate are ppl who run ahead in missions/quests. one of these days I am just going to make a monk character and refuse to heal/res ppl who do that.

I cant believe i forgot 2 and 3.

There used to be a warrior in an old guild of mine who would settle all arguments with a 1 v 1 match, and if you didn't use a melee build against his uber gladiator's defence you were a noob. Not that it was hard to beat that with melee anyway.

Out of curiosity, what exactly is it about male warriors that is so bad that 90% of them are hateable?

And why only the males?

The main reason is that the majority of warriors seem to think that skills like Defy Pain and Gladiator's Defence are good, and that warriors arn't there to do damage.

Why the males? Because it's ALWAYS them who boast about their ugly FoW + Chaos Gloves combos. That and i hardly ever seem to get a female warrior in my team.

Wow, never noticed this until now, but even though female warriors are 90% of the time played by males, they act differently than the male warriors.

My real list:

-Male Warriors in Pre
-Female Eles in Pre
(ah, Pre. Where the guys are perverted teenage guys...and the girls are perverted teenage guys pretending to be girls.)
-Scammers
-Guildies/Alliance members that milk the guild/alliance for as much as they possibly can...then leave without saying anything
-"friends" that never bother until they suddenly whisper, because they need a loan, run, etc
-people who ebay everything they own

You didn't /sarcasm so yes, you're correct.

The statement was from my experience anyway. Out of interest, do you see more bad male warriors than female or vice versa?

Now I'm confused and can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

What really bothers me is when I'm selling something [start example] and someone asks how much. I respond with 10k, and the immediately say no thank you and say nothing else. Bargain dammit!

Or worse, those don't even reply after you said the price. Also those who ask to see, are ready to buy, and two minutes later you get a PM saying "no ty".

Omg, every dang guild has at least one leecher like that. I mean asking for help is ok but abusing your friendly helpful guildies is not!!(That should be a rule in every guild) I've had this happen quite a few times when I have decided to help a random guildie do something for whatever reason. They never thank you for what you did for them, instead they start whining and pestering you to do all sorts of other things for them. Not to mention when you tell them "Ok I'll help you once I've finished this mission" they will most certainly spam you every 5min "Are you done yet?", "You coming?". I've decided never to help anyone who shows these kinda symptoms ever again.

Once I was running a ex-guildie and during the whole run he kept fighting with me about my pet peeve mentioned before. He just hated the game and was constantly whining about it being too annoying/difficult/boring/dead/grind whatever and I just had to argue back. Almost during the whole run he never realized I was the one actually running him and when he did he shut up on the spot. Sheesh. And I still ran him because I'm a doormat.

I usually pretty quickly ignore those ones and start spamming my WTS again if I hear nothing for a few secs. Their loss w/e. Sometimes I don't get why people ask to see obvious items like tomes though. <.<

And Arrryyes bargain people! 99% of the time I'm willing to go lower with my price. I always have somekind of a lowest selling price in mind when selling something but I never offer the lowest price first. I get it though, some people just go "lol no" on you if you do that but they suck at selling then and I've found if you tell them "ok, no deal, blabla is my highest price sorry" they might actually bend their own words. :|

I find the worst people in GW are those people who are rude/taunt beginners as if they were veterans the moment they started GW. If everyone could show a little more respect and be a bit more helpful, it would go a long way for those starting the game.

Guild Wars is strange like that.

I played City of Heroes for quite some time and did'nt see any bad behaviour in 6 months of playing, not even a cry of " u stupid nOOb!!!"

Coming back to Guild Wars was a shock.
