In Game Pet Peeves

Spammers.
Scammers.
People who PM you and have their status on offline or do not disturb so you cannot answer.
My guild's slow death.

There is a lot of things I don't remember at the moment so that's all

-People who refer to you by your class instead of their name(Hey monk heal me ect.)
-Assassin hate
-Quitters in RA(I play RA for fun and these people ruin it)
-Platemail
-People who insist on using Shiros blades for the fact they look cool and they counter the -1 hp regen with mending.
-"gogogogogogogogo"
-This may be odd but in harder areas of the game I find it irritating if people 'don't' ask me my build when forming a group.

OMG YES. I hate this so damn much. They are NOT funny and they are so OLD.

People who has very confusing name to type out and you lose your chance to be in their group because you missed an i. like so

-piliiiillllllii e

How could I have forgotten that one!? I hate scammers with a passion! That goes for everywhere, not just in GW. I have often seen someone get scammed in-game (say someone stiffing a runner), and I will not only screenshot and report when I can, but I will (if I have the funds) replace what was scammed (or the value of) for the victim. Just irks me that bad.

Aha, here's a pet peeve. Dealing with those damned Roaring Ethers in the Mirror of Lyss who res each other... AND the Afflicted Rits throughout Factions constantly using Flesh of my Flesh... AND the jerkoff corsairs who constantly try to res each other when you take on Mhedi and his flunkies in Barbarous Shore... enemies that res each other, basically.

What he said.

1. racist crap
2. people in your ab pug spending more time chatting in local than capping (especially when combined with #1 which more likely than not it is)
3. the map changing in ab so you can't symbolically kick the player from #2
4. rangers with "legolas" in their name
5. assassins with "ninja" in their name
6. the, "oh...you're 55 on purpose," monks in pugs
7. people with names mispelled (either becaues the real spelling was taken or because they simply don't know how to spell)

oh i forgot, "scribbles, dicks and swaztikas" on the map and people that think there's, "only 1 way," to do any given mission (as well as the people that find the 1 wrong way to enter a mission...mm's in imperial sanctum for instance)

When a PuG agrees to carry out a mission in a certain way prior to entering (Example: Gyala Hatchery using the "run to the end" approach) and someone mucks it up right at the beginning (Example: talks to Petras)...following which half the group thinks "We're DOOOMED!!!!!11!!1!1ONE!!11!" and leaves...following which I leave and stand around in town: "1/8 Looking For Hench and Heroes" - doesn't happen with many missions but every group seems to have a token idiot.

Kodonur Crossroads annoys me. It's an easy mission, yet I hate doing it. It's just boring...and needlessly time consuming imo. Then if you choose to go with a PuG you KNOW you're doomed...for some reason humand can't do that mission.

"Double Quests"...there are 2 I can think of right now, one is after you finish Boreas Seabed...and you have to walk to Sunjiang District...then go see Kisu in Raisu Pavillion...then walk there all over again. Another is in Kourna...the "To Vabbi!" quest requires you to go scout the Jahai Bluffs with someone...then you have to do it again with friggin' Zhed.

"We need a Tank". One incident in particular happened when we were trying Hard Mode Boreas Seabed...tried twice and got wiped so someone said "ZOMG WE NEEEEEED A TANKZORZ!!!11!1!!ELEVENTYONE!!!1!!!!" so we find a token wammo....who sprinted into the middle, far out of range of the monks, and dropped. Yea...REAL good "tank". Tanks are a pet hate of mine, because they have no real use other than Earth Tanks which cause a distraction in AB...why don't people leave them along? They're harmless...they just stand there absorbing damage....GO CAP INSTEAD!

Being being "offline" when they "WTB/WTS" something.

People wanting a 55HP Monk to solo the Drought at the end of Rilhon Refuge.




That's all for now

That is SUCH a cool idea, hehehe, thanks, think I'll try that next time my guildies are having a hard time of the mission...

People who moan about leetspeak in an ONLINE COMPUTER GAME!!! I personally don't use it as I enjoy proper english, but seriously, we are in the VIRTUAL world here guys and leetspeak is a BG part of that world.

People who moan about grammar and spelling in English in an international game played by people from all over the world (Including non-English countries).

People spamming LFG 6 times in a row when there are 5 people in the outpost.

Ele's that cry for energy (I play BIP) in Urgoz when they are way too close the the enemy and I cannot get to them safely.

Monks who cry for energy when I pinged "I'm dead!" like 30 seconds ago and am still lying on the floor.

Helping someone out once and they bug you forever afterwards asking for free weapons and money and such.

If people are dumb enough to fall for the lame scam tricks then they deserve it. I mean how in the hell can you not spot someone has put in 10g instead of 10k?! Common sense would suggest you throughly check offers etc before accepting...!

Common sense or the lack of shall I say.

Seriously, I've played quite a few MMO's now and GW has by far the dumbest and utterly senseless bunch of players I've ever met. I've done WoW (no as bad as the haters make it out to be) EVE/CoV/CoH/LOTR/Cable Online..etc none are on par or even close to GW.

"Helping someone out once and they bug you forever afterwards asking for free weapons and money and such."

Indeed, I had a few people like this, they was always pestering me to buy their crap or lend them 100k so they could buy the latest pet or whatever they wasted it on.

Arborstone - my god this mission annoys me, ok its not hard its so just annoying getting knocked down every 5 seconds, u can barly get a skill off then u run away from the collapsing areas thinking no more annoyance and then u find another one.

People with obvious names, i dunno why but it just buggs me, names like : Bob the Paragon or Mr Spear, i mean did they actually put any thought in the name etc. etc.

Cookie Cutterness - People who want u to play 8 specific skills and refuse to play with u if u dont. Eg. joining a Pug as a Well of Power Necro and being told repeatly u MUST be a MM, sure i dont mind changing one or two skills or occasionally my build totally to fit in better (as long as its one i make myself like wanting a LoD monk wher ethe rest of the skills i can do with as i please) but being told you Have to have build X or face being kicked annoys me.

People who leave PVP matches if it doesnt look like there gonna win. Ive seen numerious comebacks in my time but people liek this dont even give it a try they just want there faction as quick and as fast as they can without thinking of the others in the party.

I'm tired of people who blame the monk(s) for everything... even when the stupid wammo or whatever the case may be, runs straight into a mob and aggros. Blame the monk anyone?

I hate this so much and it's not just from helping people out. I was in Kamadan trying to sell something and this other necro comes up to me and starts talking to me in local chat (when local was filled with trade spam). Well apparently this guy I don't even know adds me to his friends list and kept whispering me every 5 minutes until he finally found a spot in my ignore list. He kept asking for me to help him level up, buy good armor, farm, get weapons, etc. Some people are just really annoying.

People who call their characters "toons". Honestly, whats that all about?

Minipets, just because they're annoying. I just wish I could have the ability to toggle seeing them or not.

Gwen and her fanclub, or just people who dislike it when I talk about her in a "bad" way.

People you don't know asking you to join their guild when you have no need for one. Especially when they have a crap name such as "Warrioz of Juztice and Peaceee", basically names with deliberate spelling mistakes.

People asking you to delete your character so they can have that name.

Parties which say the strategy of the next battle in their native language, doesn't help that I can't understand anything and i'm left there thinking "what?". Oh and being insulted in a language I don't understand either, but I just laugh those guys off.

Knockdowns.

Exhaustion.

The spelling of armour, etc. written in the American way of armor, etc.

Weakness.

All conditins and hexes, to be honest.

Everything.

Wow, whats with all of us who do it? I had a necromancer and a ritualist, bth with vabbian. Maybe its a curse

My pet peeve would be people who suck at the game in general, and bring everyone down.

Lack of team co-ordination and for the better part, common sense. An example, we have two monks healing Gunther in aspenwood, and someone says 'everyone rampage Gunther'. Mind you im busting my ass 'diversionating' and backfiring the monks. Needless to say i let them loose in their own.

Any elementalist who runs fire in PvP, and then approaches a mesmer, expecting to 'lol pwnz0r nuke!!11ONE!' them.

Rangers who use throw dirt on casters. (it happens....alot)

Lag. People. AI. Jamei. That is all.

qft.

The only thing that sometimes bothers me, is when players are geneally rude, but only bothers me when I'm having a bad day myself, otherwise I don't get that bothered as most of the time I play with heroes and hench...

1) People that form a PUG for a mission/ quest, dont know the area or mission and quits half way through, rather than carrying on, by following someone elses advice. Shortcut to Ignore List
2) As above, but forgot to get the quest, required item etc before starting.
3) Elitesm in any form
4) Spam in any shape or form.
5) Anet/ GW bashers that still play the game, albeit moan continousley about everything to do with it. Go away and leave us in peace.
6) People who have to pick up every spelling mistake, missed comma or other punctuation error. Its a game, not school were not being marked on the content etc.

With regards to point six we could ask Anet to give us a title for this?

Definately.

People who call you noob, say you suck, or rank spike you when they are losing or lose a match in GvG/HA/AB/RA/TA.
