* Neglect of the English language: tombs instead of tomes etc, sms chat.
* Too many abbrev's. Some are not even mentioned on Wiki.
* Players who ask questions in guild/ally chat without having searched for an answer first. (Try wiki/guru/pvxbuilds first)
* Newbie bashing / no noobs etc. (We all have been new, you better teach them a thing or two)
* Skill nazi's (Kicking players who don't run common builds)
* Players who don't take advice. (Stay away from the Griffins! Stay away from the Griffins! (FoW) ...someone runs into griffins, aggroes them and let party die a minute later)

"XD" is vastly more annoying than "lol".. I'd go as far to say "XD" is a pet peeve.
My other would be bad players who think their opinion matters and aren't actually aware of how horrible they are at Guild Wars, them.

Mangled language (on purpose) Don't mind some shortcuts like lol or ty, but the i c u crap along with a plethora of other words leetspeak and netspeak words like pwn (unfortunately far too pervasive to end 
) need to seriously go.
Asshattery... I don't care who you are or how good you are (or think you are), if you act like a jackass, I'd prefer you be on some other planet with no internet. I'd rather play with a polite retard and lose for five hours straight than spend five seconds with an asshat in my group
That whole XXway thing. IWAY was an acronym for the skill.. There is NO SUCH THING as Henchway, Heroway, gobuggeryourselfway, etc.. It's stupid... find something... anything... that is at least marginally more imaginative.
Elitist douchebags... See Asshattery above.
Spamming anything in local chat, but especially gold/account sellers and people that refuse to use the trade channel despite knowing better.
Oh and two words..
Noob and any of its variants. Don't consider newbie to be part of that myself.
Toon.. I have characters, not "toons". You want toons, go play something that looks more cartoony.

People who think the internet is serious business.
People who cry about swearing in game...there is a swear filter for a reason people.
People who report me for an "offensive name" - get a life and stop worrying about my game.

Technically speaking a perfect gold is Req.7-9 15^50 +30 20/20
But while in Kamadan (or LA/KC) I have seen this a couple times:
Selling PERFECT Fellblade:
"Req.13 14^Hexed 20/17 +7 Physical Dmg!!!!!!1 1337 1337"
(Note the !!!!!!1 when people release the shift button to early, this pisses me off also)

Technically speaking the most perfect gold in the game is the 15% no neg req8 Dwarvern axe. I'd own it if it wasn't customized

D: What's wrong with it? *never heard discrimination towards it* *huggles Sunreach's Shield*
Edit reply: Those are conditional... how is unconditional worse?
Second edit reply: Against any group... unless you are wintering, all the damage will be different. +5 20% works against all. *confused*

I prefer a specific mod myself, or in the case of my monk a different shield +30 +10 armor vs. XX Dmg(Fire lightning ect...)
EDIT:Because if you do not understand the environment you are in, (creatures general elemental damage in the area) how do you expect to adapt to better understand the mechanics in this game?
2nd EDIT: (Right before the 3rd edit which includes the pinching and hair pulling) Then put a +10 VS. Cold damage mod on your shield. Either way -5/20% or +10 VS. XX We're talking about a few damage here and there.

One pet peeve for me, is people who don't understand why Sundering is good on certain weapons, like Axe, Hammer and Scythe.

There is an req8 out there

ThyNecromancer
Those who type different variations of WTS/WTB to get past the (Party Search) thing.
People who try to rip you off and then call you a noob cause you won't sell your item for half the price to them.
Spells hurting you even though Spell breaker is on. Spell Breaker suddenly stops working at times even though it's on and the icon is there.
Attack 1 group of enemies and 2-3 other groups from off map come rushing to you.
WTB Runescape gold for GW gold.

WHen you're right next to a foe but it keeps saying your view of the target is obstructed, when it's clearly not because, hello, you're right there.
People who spam stupid things during AB is annoying and when you put them on ignore it still doesn't help because that only works for whispering.
Lag sucks too. hehe
Oh and of course when people keep messaging me when I'm trying to do a mission or something difficult when I tell them not to.

People who don't stop spamming mid-mission for everyone to hurry. The rest of us are trying to think of plans to do it safely with what we have while some Obsidian Flesh warrior is charging right in with "HURRY HURRY!"
Yes, I thought it'd be a good idea to help a friend in a PUG.

It bothers me how people say, "NEED 100K + XXX ECTO."
XXX = strong beer or adult movies. It also makes the seller look extremely greedy.

Oh, and directly on topic, my pet peeve:
People saying that a req. 9 gold inscribable <sword/staff/shield/etc.> with no mods isn't perfect. Hell, I'd advertise a req.11 15^50|furious 10%|AL+7 vs. elemental as a "q11 perfect furious<skin type>of warding" so as to try and fit all the info into the pathetically small text box in the search window.

So many of these peeves seem to involve people shortening/abbreviating things. I find it odd, given the total lack of space available to advertise in-game. /shrug
