Yes some items are rarer than others but its just a game.

People who assume that the reason you have X is because you used some cheat/gimmick/exploit or whatever. I'm rank 4 so of course this must mean
a) I used IWAY
b) Double fame weekend
c) Some other gimmick builds or what have you
When its perfectly reasonable for me to have collected that in normal ways. In fact I got my rank 4 during the first 6 months of guild wars, I've just never been the Tombs (HA now) since. - On a side note it was rather funny when Balthazar's faction was first introduced "Oooh rank 4, how much Balths do you have?", "Erm, 200..."

(Which of course was soon followed by an accusation that I was a cheater/exploiter again)

One I forgot, you're running a timed mission (anything in Factions) and someone holds the group up asking repeatedly for a random junk drop that wasn't picked up. Can I have those 6 bones???

I find that I don't get annoyed anywhere near as much as I used to when it comes to the in-game behavior of others. Maybe it's reality sinking in, who knows. I still get annoyed with otherwise intelligent people who look for something to bang their shoe on the podium over in the update notes, as if it's the most important thing in the universe. Some people need to get a grip.

Trading would continue to be the number one annoyance for me if I hadn't completely given up on it.

Kurdicks/Suxons insults etc. It's just a game, nothing wrong with some politeness, had some AB's with some friendly chat, some with A*holes

People offering ridiculous prices for items that are blatantly worth more

People hurling out random insults

Leachers, leavers

Anyways, new pet peeve - people not knowing about the new "reconnect to the instance you were in" thingy you can do when you get DC'ed, and thusly immediately quitting when I drop in a mission because they think I won't be coming back. :|

Trading with people. In LA/Kaineng/Kamadan dist 1, it always seems to go like this:

"WTS Elite Necro tome - 10k, cash only."
"I give u 4 max golds for it!"
"No thanks, cash only."
"Wat about an ecto?"
"No thanks, cash only."
"I trade u mindclouder it worth 15k!"

*sigh*

"No thanks, cash only"
"How much?"
"10k."
"i give u 8k"
"Sorry no thanks."
"WTF U SUK"
<insert several lines of insults until I ignore them>

-People who cant spell. They are called TOMES not Tombs.. I swear, I want to put about a zillion people into tombs. Omg.
-Cookie cutter HA pugs. You cannot do anything fun in HA unless you have a good HA guild.
-Penises and other crap on the mini map. Grow up. Seriously.
-People who yell swear words on vent. Some people have PARENTS in the room.
-Dont even get me started on rubber banding or leavers.
-People who gripe about spamming. Okay, we all hate it! Now stop spamming how much you hate spamming. One needs only to look at the Sardelic Sanatarium or Riverside Inn thread list to understand that the community hates spamming. GG

-You post "WTS item X" Someone sends you a whisper saying "Can I see it?" You show them, they cancel the trade window and run off without responding with a "no thanks"

-You post "WTS item X for 15k" Someone whispers you and asks "How much?"

-You prove someone wrong and they respond with "your a noob, your mom!" or any other brainless comment.

-People who still say WTS or WTB in the Local chat with the announcement CLEARLY saying to use the trade channel for selling and buying! Maybe the announcement should flash in rainbow colors and have it font size 72!

-People who spam ping their energy bar, health bar and "I'm attacking X!"

-People who spam "WTS/WTB item X" 5 times in a row.

-/ragequitters in AB or FA. If you're going to get pissed about losing or dying then don't play any PvP-related things!

- People who use "u" and "ur". Is it really that hard to type two extra letters?*
- \/\/TS, I really don't think I have to elaborate, especially since I don't have to see it any longer.
- Male Ranger's girly legs.
- Those who don't give you long enough to change your skillbars, forcing you to take a skillbar that either doesn't match your attributes or is filled with completely useless skills. (Like MM minion-healing skills on a blood set up.)

*This actually bothers me anytime I see it, unfortunately I actually see it written down on notes left by my coworkers.

That's... BAD. I mean, it's like he was TRYING to suck. 6 in Blood, and no Blood skills there? Rebirth and Restore Life? (OK, so maybe he doesn't have access to Res Chant or Renew Life. But still...)

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.
lol I didnt say that HE said he was better did you not notice the space between the 3 lines they are 3 SEPERATE peeves. Also im not whining about nerfs this is a peeve topic and that is a peeve. if you dont like that people have that as a peeve oh well.

Runs ruin nothing. Its everyones own right to get a run if they want to. Most people get runs cause theyve already beaten the game and dont feel like doing certain missions again. I get a run from LA to the desert when I come from factions or NF cause ive beat proph on every char there is.
Me getting a run affects you or anyone else in any way.

Pet Peeve - Getting lots of cool stuff for one of your characters and their heroes, only to discover you just hate playing that character and deleting it. Just happened to me and my Dervish. *sigh* I really wanted to like playing with a derv, but I just couldn't. He had 4 really nice customized scythes, vabbian and 15k sunspear armor, tons of skills, all gone... ah well...

Not at all. That reminds me, I probably should put in my request for the ability to macro a text message to any skill, so it shows up as a little speech bubble above my characters' heads, much like a shout. Use a skill, and your character says things! Hilarity would surely ensue.

this is why I never customize anything. I may find that I dont like the char and delete it or maybe I find a better weapon so I want to sell my old one.

The way heroes have ironically ruined the multiplayer aspect of Guild Wars as an MMO.

The fact that customized weapons can still be sold to the merchant irks me. I always keep my weapons behind a stopper in my last bag for fear that I will some how lagg-merch them.

I also hate that fact that you have to complete a mission to get the bonus in Nightfall. It makes getting the protector title that much harder.

In the same vein, it seems there are quite a few missions where you can suffer a party wipe or suddenly fail towards the end. Gate of Madness and Jennur's Horde come to mind.

Master Difficulty quest rewards are not proportional to their difficulty level. I'd like to get more than 400g and 100 LB points for doing a Mastery Difficulty quest in RoT.

Koss, Devona, Talon and every other melee henchmen have jacked up AI. If a mob is attacking from more than one level (stairs, balconies, ledges, ect.) these melee heroes/hench will go all the way around and cover a great distance to attack a target you didn't even call. Ironically this leads to mega aggro and the hero/hench dying in most cases. Also, for some odd reason when they go off like this they seem to ignore called targets all together.

Black dye, it sucks and it's not even a good mixer for most armor sets. In fact the new dye system irks the hell out of me. How the hell does adding more dyes make a color less saturated?

Lastly; people with high-end equipment on characters they don't even know how to use. I teamed with a Warrior who had a Sundering Colossal Scimitar and a perfect Gloom shield, both dyed black. He was so proud of them he must have called "I'm wielding..." at least 5 times during the mission. Do you know what his bar looked like? 7 f*cking attack skills and a heal sig.

yeah...

Another one to add to the list:

How the ears are uneven on the 1.5k and 15k Ascalon armors. Even though it may be intentional (they're even on females, though), it still bugs me.

-When you type: WTB [item] 10k, and then you get replies saying: I have [item] for 20k. It's really annoying how greedy players are.

-Newbies that think they are all that and don't listen to anyone. Basically the wamo stereotype.

-Random whispers from players I don't know.

-Alaska stereotypes that I get everytime I tell players I live in Alaska.

-Racist, rude, trolling/flaming, spam, immature comments that players type.

-PvP players that insist on spamming PvE locations with fame emotes, and saying how PvEr's are all n00bs and have no skill.

-Players that think Gaile Gray is in charge of everything GW related.

-Suckups (kind of goes with the above).

-Player's that constantly complain on forums/in game and still continue to play guild wars.

-Players that try scamming me.

-AFK monks (idk they just annoy me sometimes).

-Bots, leechers, AFKers that go afk in the middle of something without telling anyone, leavers, Rit.'s in RA, anyone that calls anyone in RA or AB a n00b it's just really ironic and annoys the hell out of me.


I'm sure I have more, just can't think of them atm...

Ever taken an item from him
