My guild's slow death.

There is a lot of things I don't remember at the moment so that's all
I ran into my first scammer I ever got into a trade with a day or two ago. He said he was selling 25 black dyes at 4k each. I put 4k in trade chat, and he puts his "black dye" in and accepts right away. Good thing I saw what he put in, he happened to be selling grey dyes as pass off for black.

Man that got me irritated.

I just ran into that one. I helped someone on my friends list and this person who was with him has bugged me ever since, I finally put him on friends list and then ignore.

Here is one I just thought of, people who don't want to play with you if they consider you a player not worthy of their time.

my biggest pet peeve is having other classes, such as warriors with mending, rangers with no expertise, eles with 16 in energy storage, trying to tell everyone else in the party how to do their job.

People who use the word "Pro"

99% of the people using the term do not live off what they make in Guild Wars (which would be the definition of "pro")....so using the term is clear marketing..making what you have to offer seem more important than others who clearly are exactly the same. I avoid those people like a plague...

people who i block after they say holy veil will drain me of all my energy regen, switch accounts to preach to me how nub i am, even AFTER i explain you double click to dismiss it after the hex train is done or to remove imba skills quickly before coverups.

THEN saying you dont have THAT GOOD REACTION SKILLS. >_<. yea its really hard to double click, i mean no one ever does that everytime they use a comp?

basically elitism, but this wasnt even elitism it was... just awful. he even pinged me smite hex and remove hex on a skill bar. i mean if you hate holy veil AT LEAST use deny hexes.


people who dont put in the attributes before they ping his/her skills only to yell that they had not finished their build yet. just dont ping until youre ready. that simple.

love/hate relationship: How magrid 'pulls' for you in PvE if you flag the heroes then ctrl + target a foe.

also people that rant about random things on forums

when you buy 1.5k armor and people laugh at how you 'didnt have enough money for 15k' even though the 15k counterpart is UGLY (aka monk 1.5k kurz vs. 15k kurz)

when people get angry at people for hating their opinion on different armors (i think primeval looks ugly, but i dont go around yelling at people when they dont like my armor... like the wammos with primeval do...)

also how these pet peeves lead into one another and eventually contradict eachother... its kinda funny

Don't care for people who blame others because they didn't complete a mission or that person on your pvp team makes a mistake and everyone gets on his case. May I remind people that Guild Wars consists of a team effort to achieve success in the game no matter what your goals are.

I got a new one!

Kiting foes in PvE! Annoying as hell when you run up to a foe charge up Flail and then they teleport out or kite away! AKA monks and shadow beasts in FoW. (Yes I know how to cancel flail with another stance)

And did I already mention Rit's in RA? I know it's the lowest of PvP but come on! I can handle spirit spammers in AB but in RA they are annoying as hell.

Oh and another one! People that join guilds and then leave all the time and then keep coming back and continue to leave/return.

Oh and this: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...&postcount=256 WTF did I do? QQ

People with names like 'Nuking Ele' or 'Monk Farmer'.

Realising after a decent number of hours play that your character would actually look better with a different face/hair/skin colour but not wanting to waste the time you've already spent building them up by deleteing them and stating again. Only happened to me once, but it is annoying.

In no particular order...
-Random party invites.
-People asking for help for EVERY mission or quest. If you have ever been in a PVE alliance you know what I mean.
-people buying tombs, insriptables
-people selling greens like saki's sword
-people who use cookie cutter builds. While it is understandable in elite areas, the rest of PvE can be played in a more creative manner.
-guild hoppers
-"leet" PvPers who flash their rank all the time

It's interesting to see how some people get annoyed by things that don't annoy me at all, like the mentioned above random invites, cookie cutter builds and (certain) greens selling.

These are all fine to me. But sure, I get annoyed by other things again, like guildies who beg for faction donates, in game scam and chatting/trading n the wrong channels.

Just interesting to see how feelings of annoyance differ from person to person.

2 things:

Lag, and getting rolled like nobody's business.

Lag is just frustrating, because you can't play like normal.

Getting rolled just sucks, because it just tells you you did something either majorly wrong, or you need to rework your build, which may not always be the case.

Forum trolls.

Also, people who think "interrupt ranger" means "Ranger using Mesmer skills".

And when someone adds you randomly in a town without any explanation, you reject, then they start spamming "OMG NYKTO BESTSLER IS A N000000B HE REJECTED ME".

"lvl 7 paragon lfg"...in Augury Rock.

People who complain about people preferring to H/H things.

"Healing" Mo/Es who bring Heal Party, Orison, and 6 Fire skills with 3 points in Healing.

People who don't know what "prot" means.

People who think they're "pvpp pr0z" because they can flawless in RA against 4-Assassin teams.

PvPers who stand around in Fort Ranik (or another low-level mission outpost) spamming "PvE is lame".

A bunch of minor annoyances listed in no order:

1: When Heroes/Henchmen decide to just stop and watch you run into a crowd to your swift death.
2: Forgetting to deflag henchies/heroes
3: Players that go crazy when someone doesn't type correctly. Yes it's annoying, but it's nothing to kick and scream about.
4: Players who expect you to play a certain way when it isn't necessary.
5: When you have a bunch of 20/20 items/buffs on you and none of them kick in.
6: Having Xunlai boxes 3 miles away from vendors.
7: Beggars and the people who berate them.
8: Persistent and sometimes obnoxious guild recruiters who ignore the first "No thank you, I don't want to join a guild at the moment."
9: Clearing a big portion of an area for rep grind only to realize you had no bounty.
10: Unwarranted self-importance in many players.
11: Players who restrict themselves to playing a certain role and class.
12: Having a messy inventory/storage
13: Players sharing their opinions when it's really, really, really unnecessary/inconvenient and acting according to them. "I won't res you because I think your armor sux noob."
14: Players who ask for "the best" anything.
15: Players with no sense of humor.
16: Buying heaps of materials only to realize those weren't the materials you needed.
17: Players that overreact to unwanted/unexpected situations.
18: Getting lost trying to find the merchants and xunlai boxes in Gate of Torment and other large, empty towns.
19: Players that come up to you, open a trade box and don't tell you what they want.
20: In-game drama that doesn't provide epic lulz (though normal lulz can be acceptable)

N/

1) when nerds make up their own meanings for slang terms. (ex; 'gank.' I'm sorry but none of you have or ever will gank anyone or anything in your lives.)

2) People who think typing illiterately is acceptable. 'pls' 'plz' 'plis' 'plox'.
Die in a fire.

3) Elitism. 'Nuff said.

4) The word 'newb' and any variation thereof.

5) Black dye and almost everyone who uses it. (I'm sorry but its really not THAT awesome, everyone just please stop using it. On most armors it doesn't look right. There are how many other dye combos?)

6) 'Guild wars is not what it used to be, everyone should quit because I am and Guild wars 2 is coming out anyways.' (And any other such talk. If you're quitting, leave and leave quietly. If a guild wars player dies, and no one is around to hear it, does he//she make a sound?)

7) PUGs.

8) Any and all 'female' players who dance in town and remove clothing.

9) Any and all retarded names like 'Mike Oxbig' and 'Lady Jizzm.' (Again, Die in a Fire. Fun for your whole family!)

10) 'wiki' builds.

11) ALL of the new glasses headgears.

12) Most titles.

13) Male paragon, Dervish and Assassin. (Hello 5 hairstyles//faces//hair colours each, how's it going? 'Oh you know, same sh*t, different day.')

True Sins

D/

Just a few off the top of my head,

-Any form of the so called leet speak. It might have been the in thing back in 1996, but now you're a decade late on the fad.

-The word noob. Again, it might have been an insult years ago, but not anymore...

-People who call victims of scams "stupid". Sorry, but not all scams fall into the catagory of the silly number trick in trade channel. See black dye pre-searing scams, pre-sear to post-sear party scams, customized selling scams, etc. It's hard to believe, I know, but not everyone has been playing Guild Wars from its original birthdate and there are players out there who prey on true new players so they can take advantage of them.

-People who seem to take the game so seriously, they've lost the ability to actually have fun. Who can't sit back and laugh things off if they fail at something, but instead flame everyone within 10 feet. Where even during a festival, a party celebration, have the nerve to flame someone who isn't level20 enjoying a festival pvp game.

-Players who call everything "gay".

-Laziness. ie-Those who won't go out and kill a few things to earn 50g for storage. Those who want to be run through the entire game, then turn around and complain there's nothing to do, or it's all grind. Those who rush for max armor, have the wiki up for every step of the game,then complain everything got too easy.

Seems like a lot of people need to take a chill pill. This thread only makes you more mad than before and you feel better for sharing it, but you still have a hang up about it. Let it go. Watch tv, enjoy real life, whatever, this should not affect your day. Don't let it.

1.) ANET! (i.e.: Updates, Nerfs, or bad changes in general!) >=(

2.) People in RA that do not quit when a win is 0%.

3.) Emo's who cry to anet and force a drastically unpleasant changes (i.e.: Dishonorable, glad pt system, nerfed skills, etc.)

4.) People that don't resign when a group agrees to cut off match/event.

5.) Emo's that /report all too often because they don't like someone.

6.) Contradictory Philosophy (i.e.: Anet said Skill > Time... and yet look at titles, farming, or better yet... GW2 when it arrives!)

7.) Newbs that spoil a good RA run.

...and that's probably just the cherry on top, but I won't venture any further...

People that think they're the single reason for the success of the group.

Elitist people that think a specific group make up and build is required for every mission in the flipping game.

People that deem a profession/build overpowered when they lose to it.

And finally... People that expect a "perfect" weapon to be 15^50 +30 20/20 and refuse to use one that is anything different.

EDIT: One last one... People that act as if they need help on EVERY mission/quest/dungeon/event YOU NAME IT in the game and cry when help is unavailable.

1.) Gwars = Team Effort (Absolutely Agree... no such thing as a one-man team)

2.) 1337ists: some are cocky & some confident. The true 1337ist helps others and knows a great deal about guild wars as a whole, as well as possessing many other good virtues.

3.) It depends on where the person is getting the info and the mechanics of the build, which should already be predetermined. We all know that paragons are very limited in PvP (i.e.: RA, TA, AB...), but kick major @$$ in PvE (i.e.: Nothing to Fear, Save Yourselves, etc.). That's been proven and predetermined... Not that winning is @ 0%, it's just not as successful as the rest and becomes a liability vs an asset depending on the scenario.

4.) It's called "perfectionism." The idea of being flawless to many signifies possessing flawless gear, builds, armor, titles, etc. But it doesn't really prove anything.

Overall, I agree with you on most of those points with minor differences.

4. Worse than 3 is people joining and asking for 10k right away.
5. Worse than 4 is people who do that, you are feeling nice so you give it to them. Open up guild window 3 minutes later and they are gone.
6. People who talk trash then put you on ignore, but continue to pm you.
7. Lazy typing shorthand.

4. People who randomly pm me in an outpost asking me if I speak their language multiple times. Then continue to do so even when I politely say no I don't. lol y r u so dumb?
