In Game Pet Peeves

1. After you help someone accomplish a quest or mission, they just leave without a thank you.

2. People who ask for help and when you ask them what they need they don't even answer you.

3. Add yours

4. Threads that complain about other player's lack of courtesy, which unfortunately occurs far too often, but won't solve anything in the process.

Kids who are clearly in violation of the ESRB rating on GW's box coming into GW and inflicting their immaturity upon everyone else with stuff like: insults, bigotry, heckling and harassment, screwing around at times where screwing around is a REALLY bad idea (read: missions), being poor sports, using crappy grammar and spelling, showing no gratitude for favors done for them, demonstrating unacceptable behavior such as reneging on a payment for a service such as running, and demonstrating a general inability to play as part of a team.

(To the adults who pull this kind of crap: shame on you. I expect better from someone of your years.)

Oh, and getting lowballed BADLY when trying to sell an item. That's INSULTING. Check the auction prices, you douchebags. I'm being MORE than fair with my prices.

Three letters.

LAG

People who do nothing but preach what's right and what's wrong.

People who consider RA/AB to be high-end PvP, and that winning one match in either makes them an expert on GvG/HA.

People that flash deer, then when you tigercopter 'em, they scream IWAY. This isn't really a peeve, just makes me lol 'cause I see it happen so often. Also, when you just know in the pit of your stomach that they got their deer during double lame weekend.

I dont see anything wrong with this thread, then again im not a mod.

1) Bob the Warrior:WTS 3 ectos 4.7k!
and then.....

Bob the Warrior is not online.

Or guildies who put themselves offline on another character making it obvious they ARE online.

2)Me: Alright so who's bringing wild blow? (In the gates of Madness)
Hey wait we dont have wild blow.
9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1...

3)Some Immature Young Gun: edit this! Noobs, This is America I AmeriCan do w/e I want!

4)Mom jokes

5)Rage Quitters

uhh,

8. People not paying for runs.

9. W/Mos who fit the stereotype.

Bears.

****ing bears, always up in my business.

People who say plz/pls.

well until there is a way to show conditions effecting party members so we know it isnt a blind or some other god forsaken thing then its gonna happen....and how are you gonna bitch about it from hero/hench? lol.

ok...my actual pet peeve.....damnedable chuck norris jokes. >_<

Back in the old days of chest running in Factions- people who start rebirth then cancel start rebirth then cancel over and over while standing over your body waiting for the gold Oni Daggers on the chest you just opened to become claimable. Then after the loot is taken zoning to the nearest town seeing them spamming WTS unidentified Oni Daggers 1K. Oh I will remember that players name /Opening can of whooparse

Three that always bug me:

-The texture on the Wingblade sword, it looks cool in some areas, and weird in others.

-The way male elementalists, rangers, rits, and paragons run.

-People who say *insert item/armor/whatever* is a waste of money and/or is ugly. I don't care what you think, please engine off.

Another one that popped into my head: the tip of Longswords.

1) penises drawn on the map!! I quite the group everytime.

2) W/x standing besides my char and dancing naked (most other forms of cyber porn in this game can be added here)

3) Elitests who think they know how I should play and call my skill bar cookie cutter/Noob

4) By inlarge the number of idiots who think cause they have some anonimity in this game that they don't have to follow basic rules of society like being polite/respectful of other players, paying for services, ect...

5) spam all of it. your not gonna get a group any faster by spamming LFG 100 times a sec. if your not sure if you spamming hit ~, if you meeseges is still up before you repeat you aare spamming too much.

Just some things that bother me

People who put Q for req (?????????)

People who say they wtb something i have , then log off.

1. Spammers
2. People calling others noob
3. Trash talk about moms
4. People who continue to stand around the storage area after they have opened storage. Big groups standing around makes it hard to click on storage.
5. Warriors walking up to female toons and dirty dancing.
6. The male ele dance. Elaine looked stupid doing it and so does the male ele's.

Not everyone who flashes deer got it during some lame double weekend. I did mine the hard way, before we had those lame double weekends.

1.some1 calling a item "perfect" with a req. that is not the lowest req. for that item and it's max dmg. this is "perfect" swords req 7 shields reg 7 axes req 8 bows req 8
2.RA leavers even before the match starts and during a match
3. faction leaches

Amen. That makes me shriek with despair. I can understand people using initials to save typing-time but 'q' is not the damned initial.

Rue the q.

Yeah, if you want a monk in your team go to TA or be the monk. Leaving at the start because you don't get your own way gives your unfortunate team an instant disadvantage and wastes their time. Sheer selfishness.

Asking for help in alliance chat 5 times, getting no answer, then when I complain about how H&H or pugs ain't doing it someone says, "why didn't you ask alliance for help?"

Having alliance agree to help me with something, then 5 seconds later someone starts froming an HA team and my help leaves me to HA.

People using those builds in AB that make you nearly unkillable, but have no offensive power at all.

People that Cry that (insert build here) is overpowered because they don't wanna read their skills and modify them to counter that build.

People that say WoW is better or GW sux, while playing GW.

People that refer to inscribable weapons as inscriPTable!!! >.<
Personally that just drives me insane.

People who just randomly run up to me and open a trade window without saying anything, giving me just enough time to see what item they're trying to flog, before cancelling and moving onto the next person presumably.

They're the Guild Wars equivalent of the dodgy street seller, flashing you the contents of his stolen-watch-lined trenchcoat.

WTS Elite Tombs

It just makes me cringe everytime I see it.

Person 1: Glf monk!
Person 2: Monk lfg!
Person 1: Glf monk!
Person 2: Monk lfg!

to add to it...

thx/kthx
srsly
ppl
noob/nub
any kind of "leet speak"

It's fine if it's said in jest and cynicism. I just don't like it when it's a part of someone's normal internet vocabulary. I don't mind misspellings and bad grammar, that's understandable, but these things are deliberate mistypes and net shorthand that is just plain irritating.

EDIT: LOL at above! I don't really find that irritating, but I do find it hilarious. Happens so often. PuGs aren't dead, they're just usually made up of idiots running around playing "Marko! Polo!"

People who continue to play the game and yet have nothing positive to say about it in public.

People like this.

People who think that cause they play GvG/HA theyre better players.

PvPers who whine and moan about skills so those skills get nerfed for PvE

My peeves;

Having to ping my skills bar and change from skills I am use to using to skills I have no experience with just to join a group.

Having to buy skills in Factions and Nightfall, not being able to earn them.

Having to farm with old character to equip new characters, loot-scaling.

Running people who run with you and are suddenly afk when time to pay.

Sellers who are "offline" that say, "PM me."

My biggest peeve ever with this game is: Lagging/Rubber-banding on EVERY existing object in the game. I walk past a wall, Lag, and Rubber-band all the way back after walking 30 seconds forwards, Walking past a mob of monsters and then rubber-banding back into them, Only to be killed. It's just about the only thing in the game that makes my blood boil.

A prime example is yesterday when i was running around in Shing Jea: I ran past the storage area and between the boxes, Then proceeded to walk down to the area where the skill trainer is.. Only to see that NO ONE was there, so i was struck really funny and guessed it was just my video card messing up, Since i could still see all the spam from the people that were supposed to be there.. So i walked around for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, and finally i was shot back to the storage boxes where i was lagged the entire time.. >.> The reason behind this really escapes me, but oh well.

I don't see where he claimed to be better... just stated the fact that AB and RA are less organized, less skillful arenas. It's true, ask mostly anyone with a clue. Also, don't turn this thread into PvP vs PvE. There are plenty of other topics for you to whine about nerfs in.

My pet peeves: When people who are offline PM you, and start to get angry when you don't reply.

People who refuse to listen to solid advice, and call you an elitist. No, Eruption does not belong on a warrior. Your paragon should not be using Spiteful Spirit and a wand. Having common sense doesn't make someone elitist.

People who complain about trade spammers in normal chat, sometimes spamming the same line over and over again which turns them into spammers themselves.

1 people spelling "there" instead of :their" or "they're". but mostly their cause i can see not wanting to spell they're.

2 "no instead of "know"

3 having four leechers on your team in fort aspenwood.

4 does not happen anymore, but before the battle isles came and there where just the little arenas in ascalon, yaks, and LA, going to LA's arena being lvl 19 and everyone rage quitting

5 although i do have an ele and a rit, not being able to find a party in pve cause im not a monk, ele, necro, or tank. and i mostly only get groups with my rit when there are no monks around and have to heal.

6 when someone swears and people complain about it and saying they are going to report you. honestly, why do people cry cause they turned their chat filter off.last time i checked the chat filter is automatically on high when you first get the game, so if they are that worried about seeing curse words they shouldn't have turned their filters off.

People who have to leave a few minutes after they start a mission: Srry, dinner time, gtg. >.< C'mon, check first or something if you can't set your own times.

If you do have to leave then have the common courtesy to log off, don't just go AFK and leech.

And that one annoying spaz on every run you'll ever take who won't shut the hell up. (I'm exaggerating, but they are especially prevelant on Drok's runs, in my experience at least.)

That I cant get him to do his dirty, sinful business in some of your yards.

In No Particular Order
-PvP Players who come to PvE areas and spam their PvP Emotes
-Spammers of any kind (trade, lfg, guild, etc)
-Racists and immature players
-People complaining about The Game/Anet in the game...if you don't like it...LEAVE
-when you offer someone a decent amount of money for an item and they don't even respond with a "nty"...that's the least anyone should do...if you think it's lowball then make a counter offer. You're an ass for assuming your price is the only price, not everyone uses the same pricing guides/auctions to judge the price of an item.

WTS xxxx 10k.

Someone Pm's you. "How much?"

Or when you are selling 2-10 items. And they ask, can I see? What is their to see, I said the weapon stats and skin in trade! Also WHICH ITEM out of the 2-10 did you wanna see? Its not a huge annoyance, but its where I slap my face and worry about the world when people's IQ is seriously this low.

Kur?ick and suxon insults... seriously you are a degenerate. The difference between these two factions in AB is "Starting places" and it ends there. The difference in PvE is 1-2 missions a dozen or so quests and different "looking" armor. Otherwise please won't all you name calling boneheads please realise there is 0 difference between a Kurzick player and a Luxon player, ratbags like you are just degenerate racists that like to pray on anything that seperates people. People in a Luxon guild dont go home and pray to a different god, play a different way, all use teamchat to mob up, or play R/N's it's what all people do regardless of Faction alliance. Please raise your IQ above .5 and evolve if possible.

Rank spammers in HA, GvG, RA, TA, AB, PvE anywhere! Congratulations you have ascertained a rank something only achieved in HA. Sadly there isnt a spammable rank for AB,RA,TA,GvG,PvE accomplishments and as you can see HA isnt the only aspect of GW, you are NOT your rank, you are your skill level. I known of plenty ranked players who are horrible in HA, they have a high rank as it is ALL they play and yet they remain bad at it. Flashing a ranked title doesnt show skill it just says "hey, i can play one element of a game alot" the same as players who brag about 10mil+ xp, congratulations you've mastered farming along with 70% of the GW community and 90% of the GW PvE community. But being able to play one build in one area of the game repeatedly many hundred times doesnt make you better or special. Sadly boys, ecto will not make your penis bigger no matter how much you stroke your ego.

I also dislike people on GW who act like five year old babboons with a mental condition on meth and then try and legitimise their stupidity by claiming they're high or drunk. If they really are drunk/high they're idiots, if they're faking it and just want to act like an ass clown they're idiots. The majority of people can enjoy alcohol without drawing penises in game, and shouting vulgar language in TS/Vent, but normality escapes those without much grey matter.

And my BIGGEST pet peeve is Gaile abuse. She's a SPOKESWOMAN, she is a human being employed to listen to the community and get a vibe for whats goin on. She is not employed to be barraged with insults, just because you're hurling insults at her via text and not in person doesn't make it appropriate. Grow up and realise the world does not revolve around you and your demands, you have no right to insult another person and order them to do as you demand or else you will sulk. You are a child who needs to change their diaper and be smacked!

<3 Gaile Gray. GG

(")_(")

-People making treads saying there gonna leave(JUST LEAVE NO NEED TO LET THE ENTIRE WORLD KNOW!!).
-People whining about something but not working in a solution.
-BOTS!! AAAARGH!!

People drawing nazi symbols on the minimap...honestly what is the point?

People selling something and forcing you to make an offer instead of telling you the price, then when you make an offer they suddenly go offline or don't respond.

-Leavers (who doesn't hate 4 man leaving on a perfect hm urgoz pug)
-People who ignore your price (saying wtb for 5k and getiing two replies i have 1 but it costs 7k at minimum.)
-Elitists (People who say my build rules and i will not edit etc.)
-Wannabe Elitists (Those with crappy skillbars saying that rits should only bip in the deep for expample...)
-Marcels from wezep (That one just is pure evil, avoid it all costs)

Haha, might be their sneaky way to get a Price Check!

Not in particular order...

-People who're using chatspeak/leetspeak in every sentence (plz/thx/wut/etc).
-People who're typing with CAPS LOCK on all the time, and when you ask them to stop with it, they don't know how or just ignore you.
-People who think they have a bigger chance to sell/find a party/etc, by spamming their message 5 times in a second, even if there are only like 3 people in the outpost.
-People trying to sell/trade their items while playing a mission.
-People bragging about their 'leet' weapons/items.
-People not listening to advice, or ignoring you, when you try to tell them they shouldn't be healing as Warrior, using Meteor Shower/Firestorm as Assassin, walking to the frontlines as Elementalist etc.
-People who force you to run 'cookie-cutter' crap (especially in Domain of Anguish).
-People who force you to offer when you tell them you're interested in their item (from above post's quote).
-People who're trying to take advantage of newbies or trying to scam other players.
-People who're trading/selling their Guild Wars gold/items/account for gold/items/accounts on other online games.
-People who never seem to be happy with the Guild Wars updates.
-People who're spamming emotes in towns and people dancing without armour equiped.
-People who're leaving a party when one small, little thing goes wrong or when the others don't want them to open a chest while playing a mission.
-People who have their status on Offline while they PM you, or when you want to PM them.
-People begging for free money/items.
-People looking for a runner to run them to a place or through a mission, and people who're offering their running service in a town.
-People offering help but want money in return.

I've probably forgotten some...
