People asking for help in a mission, whereas they just are expecting you to load up your Heroes on a lvl 20 toon and complete the mission for them.

Scum traders. And I don't mean traders who deal in scum.

What wrong with Derv heroes? *sigh*

I think the point is, as soon as anyone gets M.O.X. as a hero, regardless of whether they have a good array of skills for him or not, the general train of thought is "OMG GOLEM HERO". This is then followed by M.O.X. with his starter build (because they have no other skills) being veritably glued to the party window for the next month. Hilarity then ensues as M.O.X. causes many and various partywipes, not only due to his poor build, but also due to the fact that people keep him on "Aggressive" mode resulting in over-aggro and ragequits.

There is nothing wrong with Dervish Heroes. I love them. The annoyance comes in when people use M.O.X. purely for the fact that he looks cool.

I think this is quite a valid "pet peeve".

Sort of like those people who decided to "rebrand" the meaning of the phrase "Perfect Weapon" to only mean weapons with the Sundering, "Strength and Honor", and Fortitude mods.

As an Alliance Leader, this bugs me particularly. Occaisionally you do get people coming online, and within 30 seconds asking for help with the next X missions. It doesn't take me long to get sick of it and gently point out that perhaps noone's available and to stop spamming and try it themselves.

People who use a bad build just because "it isn't on the wiki"

DaHammer · Feb 23, 2009, 05:16 PM // 17:16

I have only 3 pet peeves:

1. Beggars
2. Beggars
3. Beggars

Seriously, people stand around in SJ for 20 mins or more begging for 30gp to open their storage when all they have to do is complete the Ludo quest, trade the monestary credit for a scroll then sell the scroll for 100gp.

- Someone who cusses and swears at you in local or private chat and then claims to be a GM. Hmmm - I would think that if ANet is supporting your function as a GM, then I would tend to believe that appropriate language would be one of the prerequisites. Are there really Game Moderators in the game anyhow?

There are. Easily distinguishable from regular players though.

Wubbies · Feb 23, 2009, 05:55 PM // 17:55

i just hate people in general.. no one seems to use common sense anymore.. 99% of players think gw is real life..Gotta impress people with more stupid titles..wanna impress people..take the energy u put into this game and use it in the real world ..and make a difference by getting an actual job.

My favorite is people that have heaps of titles to think they will earn respect.. but really..Titles= no skill. u can buy your way through most titles now. and funny how people want more titles.. ok well those people i got a title for you..MORON.

oh and those people that QQ about skills getting nerfed? bite the bullet it shows that you cannot ADAPT

you cant think outside the box.

last one: people that blame EVERYTHING on Anet. My account got hacked cause i gave info to a "friend" ( how is this person your friend? ever meet this friend in person? loser )
Realise anet is running a business and everyone seems to think they can run it better than anet. yeah good thing you are not the president of a country since some of these people cant get a job or cant stand to go 24 hours without playing gw and they start to QQ. I find Anet does the best they can and i comend them on their sense of humor when they nerf something to make people QQQQQQQQQ. everytime they change something people gotta bitch. my hat is off to u anet

keep up the fantastic work.Cheers!

people in ab that want you to ping your build and if you dont they threaten to kick you. well i got 2 words for those people: Suck It!

People that think their cruddy build actually works in fow..for example ( true build i saw last night ) a e/n using [animate flesh golem] [fetid ground] [deathly swarm] [fire storm][lava font] and some other great skills. Yeah use the golem as a tank..just so wrong..i just have another beer.

and flame away.. im nuts and ill prove it

MithranArkanere · Feb 23, 2009, 06:42 PM // 18:42

People that whine and complain about new great things that should have been in the game from the start, like insignia or books, and pretend GW to be a 'no fee' copy of any other junk game.

Perkunas · Feb 23, 2009, 08:11 PM // 20:11

Pet peeves:

People that complain about having to ping their bars, whether they choose to or not, then turn around and complain about a "stupid" build being used, that they would not have known about if not pinged.

Having to run a certain "balanced" group to do anything. (Define "balanced") I use whoever, whatever is available to complete the task, even if it takes time and multiple attempts. So what, if you can do it in less than 2 hours and it takes me 3.

People who join group for mission, goes part way, then "brb" never to return.
(don't know how long he stood there after we all resigned.)

Asking a simple question, eg: "Who Do I talk to to get "Mhenlo's Request" quest?" Instead of replying "Sergio the skills guy," the answer is /wiki Mhenlo's Request, or -www.gw.gamewiki.com/...........

LFG for xxx quest, and someone says, "just h/h it. it is easy."

Another peeve - the game AI - Bad guys scatter from AoE, henches stand in it.

I could go on and on, but what's the use?

Monk of Myst · Feb 23, 2009, 08:52 PM // 20:52

Well, here are mine and feel free to hate me for some of these:

1.) People who take runs* - I hate getting to a mission town and finding that no one in the town is there to do the mission, everyone's advertising that they want a run or advertising for runs while here I am wanting to do the mission on my own merit. I have nothing against taking runs when you've been stuck for 2 weeks, however, when I constantly go back every hour for two or more weeks and find that no one's doing the mission on their own, it annoys me. I find this especially true in Ruins of Morah.
2.) Beggers - Especially the ones who ask for less than 20 gold. Seriously, they just need to go out and kill maybe two things! However, if a guildie who rarely asks for something tells me that they only need 2 bolts of cloth or something like that, I have no problems giving it to them.
3.) People who tell me to change my build
4.) Lazy people
5.) People who run far ahead of the monk and then blame the monk for not healing them once they die when there was no possible way to catch them unless the monk had a running skill on their bar.
6.) People who leave the guild to join a guild of the oposite faction for a month so that they can AB to get enough of the other faction's stone before coming back - I have seen this in almost every guild I've been in and it always got annoying when guildies start whining that the quests are too hard to complete so they had to AB for the Jadite/Amber.
7.) Leechers and people who assume that you're leeching because you're not next to them and even then - I have gotten blamed for leeching by tank during JQ because I wasn't next to him, healing him while he was on the otherside of the area. I was with the turtles healing them because the other team was attacking that turtle.
8.) People who think that every build needs an elite skill or else you're a failure.
9.) Just general stupidity.
10.) People who blame the lack of people to work with in missions on the Heroes and Henchies but never point fingers at the players giving runs. * (please see explanation below)

*I would like to make my views on runs clear before I get a billion flames on my views: My thing about runs is that there are so many people giving them that it's hard to get a group together. I know people have gone through the game with at least one character and don't want to do it again with the other X number of characters that one may have, however, each profession does not play the same. What I keep seeing are people who keep advertising that they are wanting a run and that leaves maybe 2 other people in the outposts to do the mission with (and usually, they're two mesmers or two eles and they have heroes with no runes or with scary builds). Again, I have no problems with runs if you're stuck there for 2 weeks or something like that but I can't stand it when I get to the next mission and I see the same people from the previous mission area advertising for yet another run and once again, there is not enough people there to get a group together with.

I'm sorry if I got anyone upset and this is not meant to be aimed towards anyone. It's just an annoyance that I've had.

Those up there are some of my general pet peeves in guildwars. Including the fifth one when I'm playing the monk in PvP. After a while I just stopped moving to the people and started telling my group, "I will NOT chase after you, if you want healing from me don't over extend." Of course people still do that and blame me for thier deaths even when I'm too busy to move and save them when I have to concentrate on me and 2 other people being attacked. The seventh one also caught my attention this happens so often in Jade Quarry, especially with the long wait, most people report if you don't move within the first 10 seconds of you loading and then BAM you get reported by almost everybody for leeching. I mean come on there's a one minute wait before the game start, be patient and wait till the game starts. Usually when I do Jade Quarry, I wait till the timer has hit 8 or 7 minutes before reporting leechers because they have done nothing for almost the whole game.

One of my pet peeves are people who claim to know what they are doing and in turn when they have to do what thier job (example: Underworld Speed Clears) they fail and say that it was thier first time and expect somebody to do thier job.

kostolomac · Feb 23, 2009, 09:16 PM // 21:16

Beggars.
People who over aggro outside od the monks range and blame the poor guy.
People who would rather die than say that they screwed up and apologize.
Hurr my build is secret durr people.

This is just the beginning of the list.

Gigashadow · Feb 23, 2009, 11:32 PM // 23:32

If it were possible for individuals to actually build up bad reputations in this game, and have there be consequences (e.g. people won't invite you), people would be a little nicer and a little more careful. However, you don't really remember random playername or random guildtag in Guild Wars like you do in other games, and everything is soloable with H/H, so people generally don't care about a reputation or how they affect others.

your lucky i · Feb 24, 2009, 12:45 AM // 00:45

i prove im better than someone and they dont talk to me anymore.... i guess im a pet peeve to everyone here just cuz im good at pvp and i can proove it (also pve :P)

king_trouble · Feb 24, 2009, 01:27 AM // 01:27

@ lucky: PvE has become a joke with the introdution of nightfall. =D

TinyTheEle · Feb 24, 2009, 02:15 AM // 02:15

What really kills me is...
You are trying to sell something, and some noob prances up with a r3 delver title..
asks you to see what ever you are selling, asked the price, it ends up alot of money, and they go "NOOB. THAT IS TO MUCH."
and you are like "dude, there are six other people selling it for a lesser price.."
and they go.
"NUH HUH. YOU NEED TO PLAY MORE HAHAHAHAHAHA" *ignore list*
Yeah, you better put me on ignore, LOL
;P
