What really bugs you in this game, or with other people in this game?

Probably the thing that bugs me the most is random people inviting you to join their team in the coop mission spots, without asking first

If I were looking for a group, I'd be advertising it. A little conversation before the act is all I ask

Not this game specifically, but I hate it when I hear this:

"You mean girls play this game?"

I don't know why, but it really rubs me the wrong way.

What gets me is when a person in my party spams their target calling butan. By "spamming" I mean literally calling the same target ten times in a row.

People who draw on the radar map for fun while you are in missions where it is being used for tactical reasons.

I admit that I am guilty of drawing on the map from time to time. In my defense though, I only do it at the end of the missions where I know there is no danger of us getting mobbed.

My personal pet peeve is people who drop in the middle of a mission after they've died one time, because of their own stupidity. And because of their own short comings, they in turn punish the group by dropping when they're needed most. Nothing like a fair weather MMORPG Gamer....

I hate when people use "gay" as an insult.

It's only an insult if you think it is one...

Personally, I have no problem with gays. But, apparently, some immature little 8 year olds might...

It bothers me when people think the insult "gay" means "homosexual." The insult gay just means "crappy." It's slang.

I hate people who leave mid-way through Arena fights because they die. I've had one idiot leave after his death in the Ring of Fire arena, the one where you try to get more kills than the other team. He would've respawned in a few seconds.

My biggest pet peaves are the: Person drops out after 1 death, and the Selling Minor Rune 2k. God that stuff pisses me off lol. But I guess I'll have to live with it lol.

Antilles · Jun 01, 2005, 10:27 PM // 22:27

Monks who go afk during UW runs.

C-Tzar · Jun 01, 2005, 10:28 PM // 22:28

ANYONE who goes afk without warning.

I will draw R U N on the compass.

As for getting killed I try to get back to the + numbers again. Trust me I have died many times, mainly when I share my healing skills for others.

EDIT: I never new GAY means Crappy. I remember singing songs in grade school music class with "Happy and Gay" in the lyrics. Then as I got older it meant Homosexual....now....CRAPPY....I learned something new. Just wait til you "youngens" reach my age

Mimu · Jun 01, 2005, 11:25 PM // 23:25

"Too much grind"

"A.Net lied!"

"We need to unlock all skills!!1!"

"NERF!!!!1!"

All of these things, and more.

(If this post turns into a flame war now, I promise that I will point and laugh at you.

Ordas · Jun 02, 2005, 12:11 AM // 00:11

Well, Gay literally means "happy" sort of...
And then it got associated with and accepted as a synonym homosexuality

then it was gradeschoolers immaturely (well, they're young) using the word gay as an insult, much like "homo!" or "fag!"

and it was eventually used so much that now its just a negative word in general.

person A: "Damnit, I forgot to do my homework and the teacher gave me an F"
person B: "That's totally gay, man"

Me: Wait, stay back, gotta go slow and lure.
Inept Wa/Mo thinks he's invincible and runs ahead...
Me: STOP!!!!
I draw a HUGE line at the point where we should stay back and a HUGE arrow pointing to where everyone is standing.
Wa/Mo fights and is starting to really die
The rest of the team goes
Me: STOP!!!!
Wa/Mo: OMFG RES ME!
Wa/Mo: OMFG RES ME!
Wa/Mo: OMFG RES ME!
Various curses from everyone
Everyone is dead and there's a ton of mobs on their bodies.
I leave because I'd die trying to res.
I get whispered and get called a n00b

It's still homophobic.

That bothers me, as does the drawing incessantly and drawing obscene pictures. Something that bothers me about the game itself is that sometimes it seems to be balanced on the edge of a razor; there's not a huge distance between "rather easy and boring" and "impossibly hard and frustrating."

C-Tzar · Jun 02, 2005, 01:36 AM // 01:36

The term homophobic bothers me. Calling somebody afraid just because they don't like something (for whatever reason) is straight out of the kindergarten playground. Ridiculous.

NOTE: I do not fear, hate, like, or give a damn about gays, completely indifferent.

Actually, a phobia is only an excessive or irrational fear of something. So all those people who say "phobic this" or "phobic that" need to learn the meaning of the suffix...
