Yes, it is indeed easier to type one letter than three. Just because you went to school, it doesn't mean you should stop learning. Learn what the shorter words and abbreviations mean.

People who can't use proper, or at least decent, grammar. Mainly because this is usually a good indicator that other undesirable traits are also present somewhere.

"Can someone ping me the build to farm raptors"

Me: "It's kind of complicated, you should got to PVXwiki.com to get the full description and technique"

"Just give me the build and I'll figure it out."

Me: [pings the builds]

The guys then spends the next half an hour pm'ing me basically wanting me to walk him through the whole farm step by step... (that is perfectly described on the PVXwiki that I originally directed him to...).

Rofl! Yes....yes we are.....lol! That is just too funny!

these type of players...
Sorry guys if your honestly that god dang anal, or just that arrogant as to scream foul everytime a abbreviation , caps lock or spelling mistake is made.
then you should really not play video games.
Someone who chooses to abbreviate or just plain can careless about spelling does not make him or her

While I have seen a few scantily clad ones, most of the female Mesmers I've noticed have been relatively classy - it's the female Eles that usually look like skanks in undies.

I'd agree bad spelling isn't necessarily an indicator of stupidity/ignorance, it may simply be that English isn't the typer's native language but the fact is we all make spelling mistakes at times, I do it all the time but i'm not the worlds best typer anyway.

My pet peeve would be the 'gimme an offer' traders. I just say sorry I don't play the guess the price game then they will either just ignore me, hurl abuse at me or they'll give me a price, If I think it's reasonable then they usually make a sale.

And as far as female Mesmers go, I have a thing for chicks in thigh length boots. ^.^

Yes, if you are too lazy or stupid to type properly then you're not the kind of person I want to play with, isn't that what this thread is about?

I can tell the difference between a non-native speaker and a stupid person, I appreciate it when people speak English to me even if it's not their first language, and can obviously forgive their mistakes. Trying hard to speak an unfamiliar language is quite the opposite end of the spectrum to someone too stupid or lazy to type proficiently in a language they've spoken and written regularly for at least 10 years, likely longer.

Hey! I play a female Mesmer and I hate the Victoria's Secret "armor." And you gave no mention of the tissue-paper thin female Ele armor? What about that? HUH?

(But I agree, the look you're talking about makes me cringe every time I see it.)

I tend to feel differently. If I opened that up, as a new player, I would've barely understood the builds, even with a pretty good RPG background. Imagine what you do to someone who isn't very experienced? They're reading answers to questions they don't understand yet. If a new player posts/asks for ideas, I simply take two minutes and push them in a good direction, I don't want them to be even more lost.

You should meet my friend, she does it properly! Her favorite is Elite Rogue, but I think she's prettiest in Elite Kurzick. She also rocks normal Kurzick and Monument very well. Overall, I agree, but female eles are the queens of baring skin.

Yeah.... I have to admit I'm one of those pervs who tries to sex my toons up as much as possible. I love how the ele in Elite Sunspear actually shows MORE skin when you take OFF the armor...

I actually have Elite Rogue on my Mesmer as well. Also have the Kurzick, but not elite. And I apologize for forgetting Elementalists. Just the Mesmers are the ones that bother me the most, seeing as my main class is Mesmer. Gotta represent, while others are making us look like harlots.

Seriously though, spelling and typing are entirely different skills.
Sometimes I'll look at stuff I type to make sure it's spelled right. Sometimes, I just type and send. Depends on how many things I'm doing at once and if I'm half-lit or not.

fowlero · Aug 05, 2010, 10:12 PM // 22:12

People with bought invites into gold trim guilds who had nothing to do with said guild winning gold acting like it makes them good at them game.

Those that think everyone in PvP is an elitist, just because they expect more experienced players to happily welcome them in and play with them. Hence when they find the majority would rather play with those more on their level, they slate them as elitist.

Along similar lines, those who claim they can't get into GvG because it's impossible to find 7 other players. It's not, you're just lazy/doing it wrong.

People that join a team someone has formed, be it PvE or PvP. Then promptly refuse to run whatever you request of them, or make even slight adjustments to their build.

lol. I went with some guildies on Kodonur Crossroads in NM and they went totally apeshit when I rushed the gate. Although I will admit that is one of those missions that really kicked my ass went I was a newer player. It's also one of those cruel missions (like Aurora Glade) that make you slog through a bunch of grind only to have the part where you are most likely to get wiped or fail the mission at the very end.

I completely agree. I also extend it to ones who don't know how to dress at all, even if they don't show too much.

Cuilan · Aug 06, 2010, 01:32 AM // 01:32

People who whisper the party leader to kick someone instead of using team chat to discuss it. I don't think anyone enjoys being abruptly kicked and even more so when it you go out of your way to adjust to the parties needs.

People that actually think farming raptors, makes money. LOL.

^^ This guy is one of them.

Sorry but PvP is fail , almost as much as PvE lately. Titles and ranks are grind. People that have only had 100 hours in HA, GvG can probably beat your ass. The same goes for people that have 6,000 hours. Get a life at that point. Time is not equal to skill and Skill > Time. Get over it.

Practice What You Preach...
By your own terms you sir, are stupid........
Play the grammar Nazi on yourself before others....
You are exactly what 99% of the player base cant stand........
Arrogance bordering on Elitism
