Curse

My biggest pet peeve right now is that the last 3 RR days, I've been unable to login due to timeouts and code 07, 013, 040, and galore. Other things are working fine...

code 13
gamer's worst enemies

after hackers though

When I tell them i have the item nothing happens. I sometimes even try to throw in some far out suggestions such as: "If you buy my item I will put in twice the amount of gold/ectos you paid" just to get a response. Nothing happens still. It's not just annoying. It makes no sense to think that you can make a deal without actually having to make it XD

Paragons who stay too far in the back especially with Save Yourselves. Doesn't really help melee any.

Another thing that annoys me is 'The Misanthropic Jotun principle' where you have 3 Norn, a race who pride themselves on how good they are at fighting who just follow you through the dungeon saying things like "Your Mama is so fat she irons her clothes in the driveway!" and fight nothing (fail)!

Kormir (possible spoiler, but not much) our God and Saviour also falls into this category a lot in Nighfall, standing around picking Drake Kabobs out of her teeth with a spear that should be flying into enemies heads

Except in Jokanur Diggings where she feels like chucking her spear at everything that moves, including the bonus "do not hurt" sunspear ghosts.

Although I think Komir wins in the Jerek-Komir competition.

apriti · Nov 09, 2009, 03:09 PM // 15:09

These are quite relevant:
1. "lol" used as toilet paper in every sentence. Get creative
2. Dot at every end of a phrase to look like a Doctor.
3. Reporting for harassing (this deserves a lol)
4. Persisting to ask price even if Party Search was (ex.) "WTS mini Kanaxai PM OFFER"
5. Pretending to know English
6. Spamming the very same message 1 second after another 1, got time to waste?
7. People not even trying to be smart in game
8. Contesting people SELL prices like if you got a degree in GW marketing. Accept prices or shut up
9. Doing wrong things (ex. leading bad in PvE, giving bad advices during a quest/mission...) without admitting you were actually wrong
10. Monsters smarter than Heroes/Henchmen. Thanks Anet
11. GW2 being played by some "elites" while it isn't even out as a beta
12. Short space for Party Searches, so people like Guild recruiters have to spam how leet is their guild using the local chat
13. Guild recruiters
14. Monsters of levels way higher than you with 60 in (ex.) Fire Magic
15. Hard Mode and not understanding that Zmission/Zquest only gives you extra coins not worth the strain of HARD MODE (excluding the bonus drops from eventual reward chests, but you save real life time doing it Normal Mode)
16. Pretending to be a girl like if guys could f**k you for real through electronic signals (you could even be a talking dog or Santa or "God" itself, won't matter)
17. GW being a game that keeps you attached to the screen, no quest auto-tracking, no proper target auto-follow, lack of an Auction house so have to keep monitoring party search...
18. No categories in Friends list, who is who?
19. I could go on to the infinite...

Despite these I can stand some things and I actually like some (few) things

AngelWJedi · Nov 09, 2009, 03:32 PM // 15:32

1. people who sell items while offline.
2. people who whsp you saying i'll buy that while offline then get mad when you sell it to someone else. umm yeah i am supposed to respond back to you how?

3. those annoying guild spammers. once every 5 minutes is fine but every 30seconds or less? lol really
4. people who beg for money,items,free runs
5. people who wine in ac about no one helping them. yeah we help you but when you dont listen 90% of the time, and 95% of the time when we help you dont bother to do anything making us do allthe work. why would we want to help you again?
6. people who think that they know the game and they done but act like you're the idiot when you try to explain something about the game
7. i got more but my hand would fall off writing them all down

merciless_mike · Nov 10, 2009, 03:30 AM // 03:30

Most of the above and more. I like to complain but I'd be repeating an entire thread

Also, this: Video rant

Hyperventilate · Nov 10, 2009, 05:32 AM // 05:32

1. Guild recruiters that spam local. 'Nuff said. I totally agree the party search text line needs to be much bigger so people like that will be forced to use it.

2. People who sell in local. Seriously, there's a friggin' channel for that. Use it or gtfo.

3. I agree with apriti. People who pretend to know English. If you can't speak it well enough to get the jist of what you want, go back to your district. I don't toddle over to the German districts and ask for things in garbled German.

4. Kormir. As someone mentioned before, she stands there and does nothing except harp and complain, but in the one mission where you need her to stop hucking spears at things, she's suddenly Robin Hood and hitting anything with a red dot.

5. I'm a pretty laid back guild/alliance leader. My only request is that no one post "WTS/WTB" crap in my alliance chat. That stuff belongs in the trade channel, not my alliance chat. Asking if people have something is one thing. Spamming like you're diddling around in Kamadan is another.

6. People PMing me asking for gold for storage. Do I look friendly? Didn't think so. It isn't hard to go outside, kill four things, sell the whites and bam: 100g.

7. People who insist on paying other people to play the game for you. Sure, sure, it's your gold you can do whatever you want with it, I accept that, but you bought a GAME. Play it.

People who chew gum or eat while talking on vent.

Lag during events when I'm trying to farm gamer points =(

Yeah and lag in general. And James Bond...

LOL @ Trubs and I agree!

1. Go FA for a bit.
2. Notice a leecher and report him.
3. The rest of the team does, surprise surprise, jack shit or is too stupid to care
4. I pm the leecher and tell him it's pathetic that it's the only way he can gain factions.
5. He pms me back telling me he doesn't care, blatantly stating that he's a leecher and that I should stop wasting my time and go ahead kill some kurzicks so that he'll have more factions.
6. Take the screenshot of that conversation
7. Send it to GW support.
8. They mail me that they won't do a thing because obviously other people should've reported him and the support doesn't care what's in the chat even if it's clear as a bell.
Bottom lines- idiots are my pet peeve. Both in GW and outside it. The world would be better without them.

- People who, when doing a Dungeon, Urgoz/Deep, or any other elite mission because its the Zaishen Bounty say "need perma" or "where is our perma?".

- Seeing people in Doomlore Shrine say: "LFR # 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,17,18" if your gonna get every dungeon ran, why not just give someone your account information to do them for you? Why even play the game either?

TheoryX · Nov 11, 2009, 02:19 PM // 14:19

this pissed me off last week, random pm from someone.

*****: how much is miniature black beast worth?
Me: 40-60k
*****: fu noob rip off
/block

was really pissed about it, trying to put in some effort by looking at the PC sticky post, helping someone out then get a reply like that

kiddster · Nov 11, 2009, 03:05 PM // 15:05

One thing and only one. Those kids in gtob who sit there all day and just talk and do other "stuff" in local chat.

The Drunkard · Nov 11, 2009, 03:06 PM // 15:06

Lack of healthy communication between groupmembers...

It's annoying when two people pull two different mobs and we wipe. Even more so when they start arguing. It's also annoying in low-end pvp when no one calls about conditions, hexes, or spikes.
