I second this and I'll add this....

When people act like they know everything and they're completely better then you...........and they can prove it.

Happens a lot to even the best of players. Most either don't realize it, fail to admit it or dismiss the fact altogether. Ignorance is bliss.

It's a double edged sword really. You think you're better then someone and that same person thinks he/she is better then you. My conclusion? You either both suck or you're both good in your own way but please don't play together.

People who beg for shit, alliances that dont allow you to swear else your guild will be kicked because we dont want to corrupt the 4 years olds playing this game. Oh wait. People who randomly try and buy your items when in a mission, people who take the pve side of this game seriously and to an extent RA/TA. And morons who when you ping your bar tell you to change everything.

Good job i dont ever pug tbh.

Begging.

People running useless bars, eg.
[heal area][orison of healing][healing breeze][power shot][volley][read the wind][apply poison][resurrection signet]
^Yes, that person was in my AB team.

Interrupt Spamming rangers who think they're "T3h u|3eR l33t h4xorz" when they finally d-shot an important skill.

People who talk like that ^

When someone thinks they're better than you. Sure, they might be, but for the most part, generally they're not.

People telling other people how to play.

People telling me what order to put my skills on my bar in. [lol]

People who do not listen to advice or try to improve at all, despite given multiple tips and helpful tidbits of information that will help them improve.

People telling me my bar is rubbish, I dont give a flip if you think I need to replace a skill for another, what I run I'm more comfortable with

When I offer to help people and friends in titles for pve, they get pissed after 5 minutes because either he or she died, or takes too long, and then RAGE!!! Seriously....get pissy at me for helping and you rage? Pro. Thank goodness for henchmen!

Guildies scamming other guildies. [bit off the road here compared to the others lol, but I don't care for it from guildies]

That....and people spamming even in guild/ally chat. "Does anyone have 2k PLZ PLZ PLZ I need for armor" and to make it worst... I see them wearing elite armor or have some title that states otherwise lol.

What are my pet peeves in GW?

I have two huge ones and it’s odd because you can’t find one without the other most of the time they are:

1. People that think they happen to own what ever town or outpost they decide to lurk in and for some reason can’t seem to let anything pass no matter how small the offence. They complain about people recruiting, they complain about people doing emotes, they complain about people not using the trade chat, they complain about n00bs, they complain about how it’s not the good ol’ days of GW and how it was so much better in the way back. They seem to think local chat is their view own pvt chat room and damn anyone who doesn’t know them by first name or doesn’t have their MSN addy. Places like Piken, Ascalon and Jea are notorious for this sort of behavior. Prefect targets if you just want to troll because they’re always ready to “defend” their town.
2. People that beg and haven’t a clue. They beg for gold, they beg for runs, they beg for items, they don’t have enough common sense to use the trade chat. No matter how much advice you give them or what you tell them they continue to make the same mistake over and over again, it’s almost like they refuse to learn how to play and would rather have someone else do all the work for them while they get all the benefits. Any place that’s a starting off point for the campaigns are notorious for this sort of behavior, Ascalon, KC, Kam, places that n00bs begin the real storyline after the tutorial is over.

And announces to the other team, WE GOT NOOB EARTH ELE GG.

Seriously, when they don't see something on wiki they start crying. Surprisingly they DIDN'T rage. And more surprisingly we got to halls with my fail caps spam build. I asked my guild on vent, (Yes, the guys spamming fail wasn't on vent.) Rage spike them at halls? Everyone agreed. So those two people were alone at halls.

If I could steal the fame we got them, I would.

I can kinda relate to that, I only play with h/h, guildies and newbies when bored of the grind (faction farm, what a pain in the ars*), vanquish the same area in Factions over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over (you reading this A-Net?) and over and over and over and over and over (is it annoying?) and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over (woot, lvl 3 Luxon) and over and over and over and over etc. etc. etc.......SCREAM!!! My peeves get reduced a lot when moronically grinding like that. I lower my standards

Some GW's staff are my pet peeve I guess, and what they think is fun and clever means we do the same thing, yup, you guessed it......over and over and over and over and over ad infinitum

My pet peeve is people who complain when others don't live up to their personal standards of the game. People play on all different levels of gaming skill. If they are having fun, that should be enough, regardless what build/Hero/Gear they use. So what if they "suck" in your eyes. They are playing the game having fun, not bitching all day about this or that...

1. Cookie-cutter mentalites -in whatever form they take.
2. "GO GO GO GO GO..."
3. "go go go go go..." even when it's NOT in all-caps!
4. Leechers -anywhere they appear!
5. The "Me see red dots! Must kill" metality (outside of vanquishing, of course)
6. People who whine & cry about recruiting messages when the recruiter is NOT spamming.
7. Recruiters who spam
8. Willa the Unpleasant.
9. "Your view of the target is obstructed" when standing on a bridge right next to the guy you're trying to kill!
10. People in ABs who assume that a Me/E is a FC echo nuker.
11. People who TELL me how to run my skill bar. (I am, however, open to suggestions)
12. NPCs who won't do business with you because you don't have the right kind of faction.
13. The voice acting in factions
14. People who say "Skip the cut scene." When that happens, I make sure that I'm the last one to hit skip -there may be a newbie in the PUG that's never seen it before.
15. The blurring of the definitions of the words "newbie" (Originally meant a new player to the game) and "noob" (Originally meant a player who's been around a while, but sucks at the game and should know at least the general stuff - Ironically it's the noobs who caused this problem )

I hate it so much when people /rank. It's even worse when it's just their meaningless Z rank. The others are meaningless too, but Z ranking is just painful to even think about.

People that see someone with a nice skin and immediately ask "is it perfect". That's not actually what bothers me, it's when they mock the person if it's not perfect. Acting as if it matters in the first place, I've even seen people get mocked because it wasn't gold but was still maxed in every way.

When people have the nerve to dis others, just because they aren't running some fotm build that came from wiki.

When you politely ask for someone's build, they say no, and find out later it's a wiki build. It's actually kind of funny, some people try to claim the rights to the build like it's their own child.

People who think that if they run a non cookie-cutter build they are amazing and skillfull and unique. It's not hard to slap on Sever Artery and Gash to that firestorm ele build you have going. You might be having fun, but others don't enjoy playing with handicaps.

People who don't have any confidence in themselves in a game. Constantly asking if this build will work, always needing help to do the mission etc.

RA monks. They always think they are above everyone.

People who constantly just fail at the game. If you push C Spacebar in 5 or more PvP Matchs and don't do anything else after it should be an auto-ban for a month.

People who think they can dictate how other people have fun.

Spammers/scammers. Whenever I'm in Kamadan I see people trying to buy accounts. They always district-hop before I can report them though.

People who are rude. If you have something listed in the party search for sale, then generally it's polite to respond if someone asks you a question about it. Likewise, if you're looking to buy something and express interest but change your mind, say so. It's not difficult.

This is gonna be a loong list isn't it? =P

1. Leech/botters in AB,competitive missions or festival arenas, and anet's apparent inability to stop them.

2. Being called "noob" simply for disagreeing with what someone said.

3. Elitism, rudeness and arrogance.

5. The general level of (im)maturity. I find most trash talk quite amusing and usually ignore it but I get annoyed when people start spamming things like "Heil H****r kill the j***". Yes, I can easily turn off allchat, but this is a thread about pet peeves, not what to do about said peeves.

6. Being the monk in a team that doesn't have a clue, or worse, being blamed when they lose.

Some others:

- Rangers auto-attacking an ele casting MS (Hit that d-shot already!!)
- Touchers (/facepalm)
- People taking Flare in HM and explaining how it rocks at 19 att
- People that /zrank others
- People agreeing to your price only to trade you and offer minipets and other junk
- Lowballers; especially those wearing armor combinations Makosi mentioned
- Monks leeroying around with their Stormbow in hand
- People that define "fun" as "doing 10 different things while the team vanquishes"

People that bring healing breeze. Seriously, worst heal ever. Yet some people carry it with them wherever they go. I have to admit, I was guilty of that.

People that don't rez in PvE and use the excuse, "My heroes bring them." Ok, thats fine, but where are the heroes? Dead, in the huge mob.

/zrank. Cool that you can rank people, but it means nothing if you can trade ecto's or wait a month for z-keys.

Blaming the monk for failing. Seriously, the monk is hard to play against a good team. Just accept that the other team beat you and move on.

Saying, "I can kick your butt on [insert game here]" Ok, that's fine you can beat me on a different game. However, it is "A different game."

Being a noob for running a build not on wiki. (Whats wrong with [[glyph of energy], [[earthquake], [[dragon stomp]? According to caps spammer, everything.).

People that has pride when running a lame build and refuse to do it. It works, go complain about it on your live journal.

People that QQ on vent. Have fun, it's a game, what do you win? Fame! What do you do with it? /rank! and? Anything else? Come on, what else is there than rank? Nothing else? Really, so why do you want to win so badly?

People that abbreviate skills that no one uses. BD? What? Ohhh, Blood Drinker how could I not know?

I can totally understand people not pinging there builds, that it's "their builds". Whats the first thing you think about this build? Infusion Explosion Surprisingly it works, but would you kick me when I ping that? Yes, you know you would. I had a person that added me to ignore list and kicked me when I pinged it.

Peeves... well, this goes with the "people complaining about the good ol' days" mentioned above somewhere.

New players not playing. I got back after a long break, and it feels like people aren't playing anymore. Guild/Alliance chat is filled with "can somebody do Mission for me? Can somebody run me to ___ Can somebody help me with ___" and when you ask how many times they tried it they say they didn't. Play the game if you paid for it, ffs!

It's okay if somebody asks for a run. I run guildies gladly, and will get runs myself. But not if it's the first time doing that particular area. Take your time and enjoy the game, and only get runs when you're bored of the area and want to get to the juicy stuff.

Another peeve of mine is netspeak. Not the common abbreviations like brb, brt, omw, the trade talk, etc. But when somebody says "i c u dere" Wtf is wrong with using more letters? You're playing a time-eating MMO, you should be able to type fast enough that a few extra letters won't bring down the apocalypse on you.

Most of the other pet peeves I have are mentioned in this thread. Another thing I don't like is the air of superiority people have. "No, I won't help you, even though I know you're a new player. Sure, you've been polite and didn't ask stupid questions, but I'm too good to answer your questions. Go away." - stuff like that.
