But, I actually have one to add since today. People who tell you that you need to "l2p" when you say you're having some trouble in a specific area... I can't help it since Asura areas in EotN really give me a rough time D:

Oh and let's not forget the people that ask for help, and don't mention what they need help on. Then when you ask what they need help with they don't respond.

How will it make anyone happy? If I don't roll a good team, I charge in and die (same as leaving). So in essence, 1-3 vs 4 applies regardless... and I'm definitely not the only one doing it (tons of ppl doing it too). Anet simply makes it take that much longer to gain glad points. I still grieve, and no one can make me change, not even Anet. LONG LIVE DH! Cuz I sure as hell won't live if I don't roll a balanced team...

Personally?
Spammers, either runners, ferry-ers(spelling?), traders in local chat or just generically.
Traders that are offline, it took me forever to buy that staff for my mesmer because of that.
Quitters and leachers.
That one guy that blamed me for why the mission failed. It wasn't my fault the Lich wasn't dead centre, I didn't know he had to be (I do now though) and it certainly wasn't my fault the tank didn't have a (workable) Res. Signet.
People that stand in me while I'm dancing on my Ritualist; I know there are pretty lights around me, but you can't be part of it. Seriously, CE Factions dances aren't that rare.
People that spam whisper me, or are just creepy. No I will not be your girlfriend because you have a 'good account', and how did you know I was a girl anyway? My character's gender isn't tied to me. That was far too creepy.
Also, trading in Kamadan. Just annoying.

Pet Peeve? I killed Alem the Unclean over 60 times and not once saw his green drop, but they still insist they removed the farming code. My Pet Peeve is people lying.

*shrug* Whatever floats your boat, I guess. But if makes a difference, I've been in several groups with no healer and very few self heals and we've pounded teams with monks because of fast chain resurrections and coordinated attacks. Although to find a team in RA that is filled with intelligent and knowing people is rare indeed, so I can understand your point in wanting a well balanced team.

- Spammers
- Scammers
- Scammers spamming their scams
- "Selling lvl 85+ Runescape account!! 200k"
- \/\/TS <item>
- Guild recruitment spam, 2 times in a row.
- Being the monk that always gets yelled at, especially when it is THEIR fault.
- Assassins that shadowstep far away and wonder why they die. Answer: they were too far away for me to heal, and were too far away for the warrior and other people to help kill the enemy fast.
- Being yelled at as a monk.
- The idiot 11 year olds that yell curse words because it makes them "cool".
- Body Parts being drawn on the map.
- *Curser hovered on the map... ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping*

- "I'm a kick ass wammo. I make wammos look good..." 10 minutes later.. "I'm so good tha... *dead*"
- Cockzicks/Kurdicks. Suxons. Suxmycocksons. <----UUUGGGHH
- "U ned healing breeze. I t will safe my lif later"
- pinging my build and being told it's crap... when i got it consulted with from Guru AND looking around on PvX and it had a 4.5-5 rating.
- Noob/nub
- "gay" "retard" being used in a mean manner.
- "butt seckz! lol"
- MM's in the last few missions of factions. I saw someone "MM LFG to kill shiro!"
- People that lie about their guild statistics. *1 million faction my ass*

Thats all I can think of... and have time to think about.

Whenever somebody says "tank lfg" or "glf tank" in pvp. Since when are warriors supposed to be tanking in pvp. Either say the build you are using (Cripslash lft) or just say war.

1. Leavers
2. Leechers
3. People who cry about leechers/leavers and leave

Really annoying when you tell your team mates that the FoW mission is gonna take 3 hours and ask them if they have that much time and they just quit for rl things in under a hour. Just don't join if you have no time or are unsure.

- People with the same low level of intelligence, who band together and spam-insult another person thinking they're witty hot shots. In reality, they sound like ten year old runts who just discovered colourful 'adult' language.

- People who you don't consider friends who were once in a guild with you, randomly asking for your help. I had this one guy do so, despite him having not spoken to me for four, or five months since he was kicked from the guild - we didn't even really speak when he was in the guild. Hell, I had to strain my memory to remember who the hell he was, despite him knowing my name.

- Being in a party with two other monks who run ahead of the group in a mission, yammering on about how everyone is wasting time and leaving you, the only other monk to heal and resurrect the other five left behind. How the hell are two other healing/protection monks going to finish off the final boss and preceding mobs in Nahpui Quarter on their own, anyway?

- Coupled with the above peeve, two people in a PUG who have differing opinions on which way is the shortest route. For the love of God, if you're going to complain about the time bonus, don't spend five minutes drawing arrows on the map going on about how you're right, and everyone else is wrong. Co-operation, PLEASE.

- Mesmer hate. God forbid they wear suits! I don't run around the closest CBD calling every guy in a suit a fag or see others doing it, so lay off the inane insults.

- People who whisper you asking if you're a girl, after they hear you are one. I mean, holy crap! A girl on a game with a large player base! What a world! I wonder if Gaile Gray gets an excessive amount of PMs asking if she's a girl?

I'm fair sure that someone back a few pages has mentioned this one already but my pet peeve is the idiomatic use of "rape" and other similar expressions (ie gang bang).

Seeing something along the lines of "we were on our way to cap X skill when (some other) boss raped us in the ass" really, really bothers me.

Rape is not a word that should be treated lightly.

I love Halo online. I find myself being on the receiving end of abuse because I'm an excellent sniper. Aimbot my ass... But yeah. Teabagging is especially dominant in a CTF game.

And as for that primitive staff... I have a million comments and at least 90% of them would get around the censor.... Each one far more vulgar than the last. It's a Scotsman thing.

I've played enough FPS (mainly CS) online to know the mentality of the general FPS audience. It's the reason I now play FPS only at organised LAN parties.

I've been around long enough to know where a good deal of the "online language" has come from and how certain words have evolved over time. But to be completely honest, this one set of comparisons completely eludes me (and any sense of logic). There are so many other words and comparisons that could have been drawn to describe the situations that these expressions are used in, why choose one that should not be joke? Does the (generally young) male population really think the concept of rape is fun/funny - remembering here that games are suppose to be fun?

Sometimes when I HA where Vent is required, there is usually a, "OMGz is that a real girl?!"

It sometimes goes from A. Want to have cyber sex? or B. Yeah right, it's just a 12 year old boy.

Some of the people I meet in this game expect me to be some horny cyber slut who is ready to give them pixel pleasure at their command. I guess they don't realize that umm, maybe girls like the game, too? That can't be true..

I don't even play FPSs but I've seen my friends play on Xbox Live so much it almost totally turns me off to them period.

And I love that whole comic so much (see avatar).

I hate whenever people use rape to talk about how bad a boss or somebody else killed them. It makes me really uncomfortable. Oh, and people who use too much leetspeak. It's ok once in a while but don't always talk like it, you make yourself look like you're 3 years old.

In my group of friends, there is no limit to the desensitization. The fact that a topic is 'taboo' makes it even funnier. An example is how often prison jokes are heard.

Odd... my Halo parties are by far more immature than any online match I've been in.

I've used the word "rape" once or twice. (I'm big enough to own up to it) It's just a way of referring to getting down over by someone or thing. OK, perhaps it isn't the best word to use, but in a group of like minded people it isn't really doing any damage.

I suppose the key words are "like minded people". Some of the stuff my friends and I say whilst playing games are enough to make some people cringe in disgust.

My in game pet peeve is bad players. I hate people who suck. Especially the ones who either don't know it, or don't care. The ones who think they're AMAZING, but are the complete opposite. I HATE those people.
