One other thing I do which probably irritates people is PM people with low-ball offers when I see them asking for offers in party search:

WTS: Mini Flame Djinn PM offer

I'll PM them with 25k. 99.9% of the time they know what they are looking to get for it but they are looking for that 1 person to offer them way too much for it.

taunting leeroy melee in JQ after I've crippled, burned and poisoned them....while they are limping toward me blinded as I run circles around them continually applying conditions until they fall to their death....is that baed?

i like to create a new pvp toon every few days, I keep one slot open just for that...it reminds me of the days of old-school D&D rolling the three six-sided dice to create new characters...also thinking of funny names to go with whatever look they have...latest creation: Klingon Dingleberry, everyone's favorite little monk

i have a nasty tendency to click on the walls when i'm moving near them, thus causing me to stop moving. also, i tend to suffer from "tunnel vision" and run around with my brain disengaged. i've actually become quite good at doing so, but obviously i can't get away with doing so while playing gvg.

My hotkeys for my 8 skills are 1-2-3-4-q-e-r-f...this leads to a lot of my build pings being backwards in terms of ease of use.

I also press spacebar way too much since the thing I'm attacking is usually dead in a few seconds (not just from my damage, but from the party. And then I'm forced to gain a new target)

When I farm stuff like raptors I get into the habit of up arrowing and hitting enter quickly to repeat my last /resign command at the end of the farm.

Problem is sometimes someone will talk to me in AC or GC and so I'll have a chat with them while I take a break. Then when I go back to farming I complete the next run and hit up arrow and enter quickly at the end to repeat my /resign command but forgot that I had been talking to someone and I repeat the last thing I said again in AC to my friends which makes me look a bit silly.....

My bad habits:

-Wanting all survivor titles, and even contemlating deleting my three-and-a-half year old main to acieve this.

-Killing said survivor wannabes by forgetting the rule that you NEVER go afk, even in pre-searing...

-spending forever working on explorer titles and never actually finishing the campaigns because I skip straight to EOTN and just farm.

I also am in a guild with my brother which he created. He hardly ever plays, and because of that I'm the only other member, but I don;t have the heart to find a better guild. That, however, has more to do with him being my baby brother whom I get slightly protective of at times (he's six years younger than me) and is more of a personality dysfunction I have...

I have a few.
N G H Club
I tend to rage at the end of VQs when I can't find the last group, if it takes longer than the VQ itself I'll leave.
I tend to spam Ctrl + Space when a foe is near death but isn't dying.
I'll not properly talk in Alliance Chat, only to point a flaw in something.
I'll slag someone in the alliance off, but accidently do it into Alliance Chat instead of guild chat.
I wrong chat... a lot.
I have a short attention span, and will usually leave half-way through things.
I'll join a group or start something when I know I don't have time.
I'll always make my team wait for me to make a cup of tea.
I merchant ectoes/shards by accident when I'm not paying attention.
Those, amongst many many other things :P

Running GW in Windowed mode.

Enter Battle -> open random web page im reading -> forget i'm in line for RA or whatever -> maximise GW and ive got dishonour .. hehe.

Opening hero panel each time I get a glad point even though I know it only went up by one since last time.

PMing people selling weapons for price then saying no just because I can .. hehe makes me feel kinda bad sometimes.

I have a few. I never take an id or salvage kit with me, even on a fow or uw clear. I just can't stand leaving stuff on the ground, even if it's cheap and getting it might cause a party wipe. I love doing skill caps without checking my 2nd profession (other day nearly completed Ring of Fire when i discovered my error). And believing other people's ridiculously high opinion of their ability, putting up with running some build some bozo just insists is 1000% better than the one I know works.
And my unending desire to correct people's grammar and spelling in local chat.

When i get bored, i usually troll RA asking "WHERE IS TEH PALADING TRAINER!/ PELASE HELP ME I AM NEW" and continue the act for the next 2 hours. defenitely a bad habit... it got me suspended for 3 days and then "accidentally" perma banned. good times.

I'm also guilty of pressing R and then start typing something or alt tabbing and ending up aggroing everything on the map. I'm also guilty of this in PvP too lol.

final bad habit: i occasionally press enter before typing something on MSN messenger... pointless!

-NG club, hero only when i'm farming faction or in dungeon leeching.
-playing classes with a different role then intended (ranger on spirit spam, rits with spirit strength spear). Usually making myself 20% as effective.
-pugging low/mid level missions in tyria (up till sanctum cay, above is meh) with monk to feel what's it like to heal real people (high end mostly takes too much effort i don't want to do)
-go ab with shit (team-) builds like iway, rspike or sf spam, and laugh at people that take it too serious
-screenshot/save builds from weird people with weird builds. not to laugh at, to try it out for fun.
-going into any kind of teambased pvp (except gvg) with EoE just because i like it.
-going into FA with a dedicated EoE bomb-ish build, because i like EoE.
-changing chars/builds after every quest/mission because i'm bored of it already when helping guildies/alliancies.

Selling stuff too cheap when I want to get rid of it.
Keep opening my Gifts of the Traveler even though I know it''s better to sell them (who doesnt?)
Being to lazy to equip my hero's with runes/insigneas/proper weapons.
Deleting characters all the time, and remake them afterwards.

I have found myself purchasing whatever I can get my hands on when I have more than 20k in storage. If I come across a large sum of cash, I get a character I've been playing a set of 15k armor, and then abandon it for a few months.

Oh and this is what happens when I can't find anything better to do.
NGH club. Yep. That's right, I made a club for it, or maybe it's a rehabilitation group. Whichever you prefer.

N-G-H club (although mine are mapped to different keys, sentiment is the same)

Standing in Lions Arch Am 1 just watching what people are selling, even if I don't have anything to buy or sell myself in game and I'm done using alcohol up. I think its a bargain hunting thing left from when my internet connection was so bad I could do nothing else but trade.

Finding a build I like that works for me and using it to death. Everywhere.

Insisting on using balanced team builds for nearly every aspect of the game (Sorry to those I've shouted at as a result)

I always get into arguments. Weirdly enough mostly over political issues rather than the game. And weirdly enough 90% of those times it's about global warming o.0

Just started about a month ago and instead of learning to play one character well skillwise and finish the game, when I hit the wall, I make up a new character with new and different skills until I hit the wall again and so on and so on. Very bad idea.

Holding down the ctrl key during a PVP battle so all my skill uses are spammed in the team chat. I got this habit from using Discordway in PVE all the time.

I am probably not the only one who does this, but when i look at the chat all i see is my name.
