List the little things that just outright irritate you to no end in GWs

1. People who don't bring reses in Arenas
2. People who go NAKED in Arenas (yes, this does happen)
3. People who abuse you in whispers after blocking you
4. Defy Painers
5. People who run all over the map after their team has clearly lose, rangers being the biggest and worst example of this.
6. When the item of the week for Nick has a ridiculously low or obscure drop rate.
7. People who leave after 1 round in Arenas, especially 3 seconds before the next map, so the game doesn't give you another player and you are screwed from the start.

people who PM you saying they will buy your stuff, then request that you leave your district and meet them in theirs.

that irritates me a lot, any more I tell them to come to my district or no sale.

Basic rule for me is that if you are the seller, you have right-of-way.

Look out!

E/

1. People who blame the monk in RA for losing. If you suck, the best monk in the world will not keep you alive. Especially if you charge off 3 bubbles away and the monk is body blocked/knocked down and can't reach you.

2. Defy Pain warriors, and the idiots who continue to attack them no matter how many times you ping someone else and tell them to stop attacking the useless waste of air

3. Runners in RA. Your team lost. Just die.

4. People who agree to buy/sell something, then pm back and try to get a better price. Hello, you already agreed. I refuse to answer or trade with them out of spite.

5. /agree on people who leave too late in the countdown for RA to give you a replacement player. Thanks, asshat.

Someone plays a little too much Random Arenas....

Biggest pet peeve is when trying to help people when they ping there amazing beserker stance sword/pet warrior build and I suggest something better and they refuse to believe that they may not be the most amazing player Guild Wars has ever seen.

People who go naked into arenas...and win.



Naw, I mainly have two pet peeves:
Speed runs actually being so viciously useful to the point that most people don't ever want to even try it the normal way anymore.

People booting you from teams because they want you to use rigid builds that must follow their every whim and desire...for Normal Mode

Luckily Ive only seen one of them, and boy was he annoying <_<

The power hungry, or those who think they know all there is to know about Guild Wars. Tried to do Frost Gate for ZQuest once, and some bloke comes along, with 2 guildies. The friends were fine, but the first person... napoleonic syndrome? Arrogant little git he was... We completed the mission, but he just delayed us by taking all sorts of other routes :S And waiting for all sorts of nothing...

Eh, for your #1, sometimes the correct spelling is taken or doesn't fit.\

Players without a grasp of the game (ie noobs).

Stubborn stupid people(ie noobs),for example I spent a good 2minutes telling a person/noob that WTB meant 'wanting to buy',not 'whisper to buy'.They raged at me and put me on the ignore list.

People with lame names,eg Sir (insert name) The Bold/Brave/Strong/Fierce/etc.

People who go WTS blah blah without listing a price or going 'pm offers'.

People who try and exploit things as much as they can,for example with eotn people were trying to sell onyx gems for 20-40k each.

People who farm/grind 24/7 and think it makes them better for you.No your glowy hands aren't pro,and your bandanna doesn't match yours obsidian armour,it just makes you look like a cancer patient.

People who whine about skills that aren't even that imba non stop (cough roj).

People who say the weirdest things,like in shing jea some person yelling in perma cap 'look at me i'm sexy,I make you sexy too', and somehow getting past the spam filter.

This happened more when roj was first changed but, getting a team together for ab and finding a monk only to realize they're smiting and your team dies from minimal damage because no one can heal.
there was a couple times i even had 2 smiting monks..

i guess that's what i get for just grabbing people and not pinging builds but honestly if you're smiting at least tell everyone.


oh i forgot to add scammers. and I don't mean the ones who scam by accident who actually do put in the wrong amount of cash or whatever, i mean the lowlives who actually sit and prey on the people who don't know better. it annoys me so much that if i was close enough to where they lived i would punch their face in. making guild wars safer one punch at a time.

People who use variants of the word "noob". The original incarnation is annoying enough, but being called a nap or whatever is just ridiculously dumb.

Other than that, people that res slowly. Seriously how long does it take you to realise your teammate is dead and use your sig.

1. People that over Aggro in Hm, resuilting in a wipe.
2. Runners in RA, Everyone can relate
3. Losing an Alliance Batter, No one likes waiting for like 15 mins to get into one, and then another 15 just to lose.
4. When heros dont use the micro'd skill right away..
5. When people in Shing Jea Monastery ask for 50g for their storage.
6. When people call you a noob cause you dont have FoW armor.
7. When people dont attack the called target
8. AFK'rs
I got alot of pet peeves lol.

• "Tomb" instead of "Tome"
• "offer" and they NEVER accept your offer.
• [KISS],[NiTe],[SiCk] and all "over 1800 members" guilds. (Guild tags are allowed?)
• DnD
• Cape leechers using /zrank and /rank in RA,repeat,RA. lolcapeleecher.
• Aion lovers in GW. Seriously,get a life or go play "Aion" if GW sucks. I bet after 4 years you will be QQing in Aion saying "LOL AION SUCKS, [Insert a new game here] FOR THE WIN!"

Too many to list but a few would be:

1. People running around spamming for cybersex partners....good lord people.
2. Players who run up to you, stare at your char for a few minutes, say "hi", then freak out and run away when you answer them.
3. Players who can't figure out when they've lost an argument and just won't STFU.
4. etc, so on and so forth......

I've just encountered that once, and that was with the Jin essence. So you
can't expect to get everything for free.

What irritates me...........

Pet control. You should have the possibility to keep it on atack.

Summoning Sickness. Just give the possibility to use one after it died.

Stupid drunk title.

The fact that there are not more con./party collectors in the world instead
of those no more use weapon collectors at many places.

It irritates me that you cant dye your Pet

I lol'd.

1. People who have Resurrect on their skillbar
2. People who use Rebirth during battle
3. Monks with 4+ redbar ups. Who needs to spam that much?
4. People who don't know how to kite, sit on their bum, let 5 or so melees beat on them, and wonder why they died shortly afterward
5. Eles without Attunement
6. Most PvE Warriors :/ Defy Pain, Endure Pain, Pain Inverter, and other 10e spells are not good for you, sorry.
7. People who ping one build and run another
8. People who rage when they're the ones who suck/aren't doing their job
9. Casters who don't know how to let melee manage aggro
10. People who stay quiet when you make a suggestion or ask a question. Am I talking to myself or something?

Me/A

I have a few...

1. All the male monks who look exactly the same (black obby, chaos gloves, either mask of the mo zing or bandana). Are there even any other monk armors?
2. Guildies on vent making fun of someone in the team, when that person can't hear them.
3. AFK Sellers
4. Use of "________________________" and other pointless punctuation in trade chat used to take more room in the channel. It's not cute...
5. All the people in doomlore paying for their EotN titles. Props for effort.
6. Guilds advertising in LA/Kamadan claiming to do everything. No one does everything on a consistent basis. Just put what you specialize in/would like to specialize in so people have a decent idea of what they're getting into.
7. People in mission outposts making fun of the person trying to form a group in NM. "Just H/H it, noob" is really uncalled for.
8. Acroynms for phrases that are already really short.
9. "Repairing Data Archive"
10. Can't think of anything else, just wanted an even ten items.
