What used to annoy me is the fact that hordes of people farmed fame and got their tigers with no-brainers like IWAY. Good thing I've stopped caring about pvp ages ago.

What annoys me is idiots who think PvP > PvE, therefore they are automatically better than everyone in a PvE outpost, and yet cant keep themselves alive in NM. :/

people who say gg. when I think of "gg" it carries a negative connotation, such as..

Good going, you just installed spyware onto my computer and now my identity is being stolen!

You have to remember that this game is almost 4 years old and that alot of people are trying to find the fastest easiest way possible to just get where theyre going now. If I can find a runner for some of the early missions when starting a new char im going to just to speed things up getting to lvl 20 and doing what i want.

When people threaten to IP trace me, find me irl, and kick my sorry butt.

I understand that, however, look at it from the perspective of someone who doesn't want to use heroes and henchies all the time. In places like Ruins of Morah, there is maybe one other person to do the mission with. A-Net wants people to actually work together in missions more but when almost all of the people in an outpost are just getting runs through, that makes working with someone very difficult. You end up having no one to work with (if you don't believe me, go check at any given hour of the night when most people are on). Because the people who have been there for a while are doing it, the new people are doing it as well, assuming that some missions just can't be done without a runner (I have seen this before).

I am one who believes that if you want something in the game, it should be earned on your own merit, not on someone else's merit. Therefore, I hate getting to outposts that are later in the game and finding that I can't find a group. All you see in some places are "lfr" and "Running mission 2K". I understand that people want to get through the game faster and get the protector title but then all I can say in that respect is "congrats, you just bought a title."

Also, it's not just the earlier titles, it's everywhere you go where people are getting runs, especially in the later missions.

I'm sorry if I have offended anyone here. I just want to be able to find groups in outposts.

You're whining because people dont want to do what you want to do? wow. Also no elite skill on a bar isnt bad when you have access to one? wow

just, wow.

Wolf2581 · Feb 24, 2009, 06:17 PM // 18:17

It is probably easier for me to say what does not bother me:

proper use of native language
patience
self-control
self-responsibility
willingness to help others
willingness to accept help from others
remembering that it is still a game meant to be played for fun

However, one big thing that does bother me is the propensity to think that material possessions and being "good at the game" are somehow correlated. True wealth lies in knowledge and appreciation of the game, and why so many care about what other people think of them is beyond me.

Brother, you have completely misinterperated what I said. I'm just saying that it's annoying to get to a mission area when everyone's just accepting runs. I'm sorry that I don't always want to work alone.

Jeez, I'm sorry I don't share the same views as you. I'm just stating a fact.

As for the no elite skill thing, it depends on what you're going for. Some of the newer players don't always seem to get that there are elites that they can get, much less where they are. If you've been playing for a while, yes, you do know where they are.

BTW, did you forget the point of this thread? This is where you post your pet peeves and it's one of mine. Sorry.

Not being allowed to curse in Alliance chat, because we're all babies still and our parents are monitoring us. /sarcasm

Not so much beggars, but if they do it consistently when I say I don't have what they need, makes me mad. I mean, I told them I don't have a sin tome, and yet they keep asking as if one will appear in my inventory.

1: People who seemingly refuse to learn how to play. (Example, I recently tried to teach some begger how to farm for himself because he said he sucked at farming. But he made no effort to learn anything at all from what I was showing/telling him, he just kept begging.)

2: People who rage quit over their own mistakes and blame it on the rest of the team. (One time my team had a necro who rage quit due to an over aggro that nearly resulted in a wipe. He called the rest of us impatient, rampaging noobs. But he was the one causing the over aggro in the first place; he was spamming his animate minions skills, heedless of the fact that some corpses were a bit close to the next set of mobs back.)

3: People who don't pay any attention to what's going on around them. (I was playing a little RA one night. Our Mesmer died, I rez'ed him. I died, our Warrior rez'ed me. Our Rit died, the Mesmer tried to rez him, but got interupted and then killed. That makes no unused sigs on people who were still standing. But the Rit was spamming team chat for a rez, then rage quit when it didn't happen - calling the rest of us noobs and telling us to learn to put rez on our bars. LoL WTF?)

4: When you kill someone in any form of PvP, using a build that you came up with entirely on your own, and they say in local (all) chat "Nice wiki build." (Excuse me, but the game is what, three years old? Four? The chances that any build I run has already been tried by someone else before me are pretty damn good. Is it really so terrible if something I came up with completely on my own is coincidentally similar to something that's on the wiki?)

5: The game's lack of recognition of the Z-axis, which results in all sorts of wierd projectile physics. (Examples include standing right next to someone on a bridge and all your arrows miss with the message 'your view of the target is obstructed', even though you can touch the other character. Arrows passing through rocks that SHOULD'VE obstructed the arrow but didn't. Or having an apparently clear shot and your arrow hits a wall that it should've flown over... etc... etc... It also allows you to melee enemies who are a mile above or below you as long as you're latterally adjacent)

6: People who are quick to blame the monk for any sort of percieved failure. I'm sorry, but monks aren't omnicient and always ready for absolutely anything the other team can throw at the party. If they were, there would be a huge population of monks and very few of anything else.

Edit:

7: Anyone who demands that everyone else in the party adhere to his/her idea of what constitues a "good build." I've seen people refuse to participate in missions unless one of the other players switches such and such skill for such and such other skill. This is especially stupid because you'll see it even in NM PvE. NM is forgiving of less than ideal builds and equipment; it was designed to be completed by people who haven't mastered the game yet. And besides, what if the player being harrassed doesn't even have the skill that the other guy is demanding he use?

Apollo Smile · Feb 25, 2009, 04:37 AM // 04:37

I hate "commander" monks, and people who spent more time talking shit back and forth in general chat than fighting.

zurisae · Feb 25, 2009, 06:36 AM // 06:36

Experienced players who act like spoiled children when something doesn't go the way they want it to. Get a life and move on please.

Well then I could be your pet peeves in slavers

I use to solo duncan (not the foes underway to him ofc), with sv/sos/swap and I require someone to have protective spirit for me, and someone else to have frozen soil. But yes in general you are right, most tasks can be performed in different ways, not needing a particular skill.

My favorites:
Beggars, especially those spending 20 minutes begging for a small amount even a lvl3 can farm in old ascalon or plains of jarin etc

Leechers/bots in jq etc and anets inability to deal with them

Loosers who attempt insulting others saying dirty stuff about their mum

People who consider pvp the only true game and that all pve is just for newbs

Scammers

People who after being offered help just drag you into next mission and quest etc without talking and in general treat you as a henchman ot some bot player they got. I require they tell me what thing they want to do next,, and when we complete it they say thanks at least. And I require they listen to me if i suggest how to improve on newbie mistakes when I see such.

People who take the gift of griffons quest in fow after it has been said several times "DONT take quest from wailing lord" and similar in other places.

When attacking new spawned npc's in jq and getting that message "Cannot attack. Monster only"

When you get gold r9 echovald shield or other rares dropping and ID it only to see its single mod with + 9 vs lightning dmg or similar worthless mod

thelessa · Feb 25, 2009, 12:53 PM // 12:53

1. Beggers

2. "I have FoW armor" so I know SO much more than everyone else!

3. Blaming the monk for not healing them, when they ran out of healing range. (all classes seem to do this)

fireflyry · Feb 25, 2009, 02:06 PM // 14:06

Sweet....RANT TIME!!

Players prioritizing the path of least resistance over enjoyment, creativity and mutual respect with a large side order of being rude, obnoxious and egotistical at all costs.

Gold sellers/buyers.

The obviously really well educated, atypically older, people in every major zone who seemingly feed their egos by seriously and vehemently debating topics such as religion, politics, science, etc, etc with 10-15 year old kids.....in a PC game.....to then gloat about out-smarting them.Seriously I've noticed several players that seemingly do this all day.Sad.

The players that spam and argue with the opposition in the middle of PvP, to then blame their team and ragequit on losing.

Players who quit AB unless leading at all times, RA unless there is a monk.Pussies.

Players spamming "OMG COOKIE CUTTER BUILD!!11!!U SUX NUB!!11!!" in RA, TA and AB.

The overall mass approval and trend of belittling, abusing and dismissing new players as opposed to assisting, advising and encouraging them.

Lastly....sore losers.

Oh and players who say RANT TIME!!
