Just Gaze/Consume one of them, and look meaningfully at the rest. They'll get the idea quickly.


My GW Pet Peeves:
Just about everything in Eye of the North, except Livia. (Mrowr...)
Dungeon runners who take 3x longer to run HM than an H/H group and require runee participation *still* charging 30k.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Requirement Begins With R [notQ]

Me/

1) When people confuse 'then' and than'. It's not, "I'm better then you." It's "I'm better than you."

2) Abbreviating 'requirement' to q. I know it's mainstream, I know most people use it and I know it brings flames whenever its use is contended but I cannot, for the life of me, grasp it. I won't conform either.

3) "Inscriptable", "inscripable", "inscable" and all the rest. Please use 'inscribable'.

4) "Oldschool", "oldskool", "olsql" and all of those...

5) Dungeon runners that ask the customers to bring heals, running skills and LoD. That's not being run, that's participating.

6) "NO REPLY = NO THX". Get over yourself, ffs.

7) Random Arena synchers.

8) When Olias uses Death Nova on dying/vulnerable allies instead of Protective Spirit.

9) People who say they'll buy my stuff then fill the trade window with trash, then say, "pls i rly need."

10) People who request to see my items for sale, join my party, open the trade window and view my stuff... then shut the trade window, leave the party and disappear without saying anything.

11) Me: "WTS: [Something] 20k"
Kamatard: "How much?"

12) People who only ever PM me for price checks.

13) Bone Dragon Staves on little female monks. I feel it's unfitting for a pretty little monk, with blonde buns, who represents goodness and divinity to be wielding a gigantic dead cow staff.

14) Black dyed male Warrior Obsidian Armor with Chaos Gloves. The armour is so chunky and the chaos gloves are so revealing causing a hideous contrast.

15) Serial guild-hoppers.

People who demand offers. Already said, but It just pisses me off so much.

I don't keep up with Trading prices, I have no idea what a Q10 Prot Frog Wand is worth, except its probably going to be 100k + __e. As soon as you offer, if you are anything under they either don't talk to you or say nty and never reply again.

I hate the way trading works in this game.

Oh yes I have tried this so many times...one of the main reasons I hate trading and merch tons of stuff.

I could say my pet peeves is the trading system of GW.

Sway pisses me off to no end. I understand people want easy wins, but for RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOs sake, these mosquito scrubs are EVERYWHERE. I was especially annoyed to see rawr running this crap in the mAT.

Having to drag something from storage to my inventory and then drag it again to the trade window is also severely annoying.

The weird little lag you get when casting Spirit Bond or Protective Spirit when you're low on health. I dunno, the spell appears to take longer to cast, and the skill icon animation loops for far longer than it should. Then you die. :P

My biggest pet peeve?

Anet's dev team claiming it will be more open and then not telling us anything (i.e. the January Dev Update).

If this new note by Linsey about openness turns out to be a lie as well, then goodbye GW.

Actually, bad PR/CR is my biggest pet peeve......

A newly-discovered pet peeve: people who have no interest in improving their gameplay. They use bad skills and run bad builds and don't want to listen to why X is crap and Y would be better, or why heroes can't manage Z, they just want to run what they've always run because "it works for me" and they're comfortable with it.

I realised last night that my thinking like this (a) makes me one of those elitist bastards I've always hated and (b) means I've played this game far too much and take it far too seriously. /sigh

My biggest pet peeves are:

- Duncan the Black (Annoying skills and spirit helpers not to mention tons of HP).
- Black Moas (After hearing Zho's meeting with them and the general fear around the Kurzicks lol).
- People who thinks meta equals good while everything else equals bad (Yeah, I get it! Sabway is good, but geez try something new once in a while!)
- Asuras (Omg those eyes can stab you!).
- PvP (I'm the type to get into silly arguments, and what better place to do that than PvP?).
- Oozes (Jellyfish are creepy to touch, so what would an Ooze be like??).

Pressing ALT to bring up NPC names in town, but can't click on them because names of players get in the way. ("Hover text" for player names should be disabled when you press ALT).

Dumb pathing errors. Zaishen quest flags, I'm looking at you - but you are not alone :-P

Running past a mob, only to see a cloud of damage numbers around me a few seconds later. Meaning I am in fact body-blocked, and about to be rubber-banded 50 yards back to my death.

Hard Mode being reset to Normal Mode if I go back to the Guild Hall or logout.

Luxon/Kurz NPC's refusing to talk to me. Ungrateful wretches, why I oughta...

Any mission/bonus that depends on the survival of an enemy or NPC.

Missions that require a particular hero to be present.

Razah. With a healing build, "it" insists on rushing into the fray and getting itself killed, no matter how away you flag it.

Gwen. Load her up with interrupts and she's away with the fairies. Doesn't interrupt anything worth sh*t.

If you advertise an Item in trade chat, with an accurate description of what your selling, e.g WTS r8 15^50 20/20 +30hp Gothic Sword. and people say:

'Can I see it?'

well what to add

1-after playing 4 years of PvE and deciding i want to try PvP, not being able to get into HA groups because i have no rank
2-HM...........instead of trying to balance skills how about balancing the mobs? sometimes i wonder if skills are tested in HM before going live in an update
3-HM again.......why cant the game be updated to take a full team of 8 in areas that only take 4 or 6? back to #2, the mobs at times are so un-balanced it just gets frustrating
4-the april update. alot of things were added to the game that for years we were told there was no way that could happen.........name changes,physical changes and more storage. now that we got those things, how about the biggest request..........7 heros, at the very least how about 1 more?
5-the z-missions. yes im enjoying doing them, its giving me a bonus reason to take my 11 characters through HM, but how about increasing the limit you can hold to 5 or 7 missiona at any one time on each character. i enjoy playing all the professions and having the ability to hold 5 or 7 would make a world of difference.

I actually like the 4/6 areas, they're more fun.

Pet Peeves: eh, someone stole the menagerie joke already =(

Well, OK, this is more of a nobody's fault thing, but the really unfortunate lags always annoy me. I've rubberbanded smack into a full elite ele shrine before. On my screen, I was something like halfway to the next shrine at that point. Not fun. Hate those rubberbands.

Here is another thing that annoys me ALOT, and I'm sure alot of people agree.

- When trying to sell a weapon and someone wants to see the skin, they take you outside and talk to you about the most random things.

- "YOU SUCK" in RA

- People in general. Especially in RA, some real douche bags in there.

- "Offer" then when you do, they hit you with a "lol" because they think its worth more

- When you give an offer but they dont like it and never reply to you again. There's this action called "Negotiation" ...it can be done to sell your item.

- Guild hoppers.

- I hate being hit on for having a chick character...and Im a guy. Its a game people, not a dating service.

- The fact that the majority of female armor looks 82639590263 times better than male armor.

- The ridicolous amounts of monsters in some areas of EOTN

- The cost of an Eye of Janthir and how they decided to make it a fourth year mini pet. Its a freaking eye trapped in a pyramid! You would think I deserve more for having a character for four years.

People who sit there and try to invite you to their party repeatedly. It's annoying, and if I wanted to be in a PUG, I'd say as such in party search/all chat.

1) Bad sportsmanship... but this bothers me in life, just not in this game.

2) People taking this game too seriously.

3) People acting like winning and losing are truly real life and death situations and not putting the game in perspective as in, it really is just a game. (this might go with #2).

4) Kids thinking they're cool by being racist and/or offensive in outposts/towns because their mommies and daddies aren't around and they can get a way with it.

Random party adds when I'm not asking for people.

Tombs.

Wurms. Riding them, killing them, getting KD'd by them.

How almost all the male paragon armors are better suited for the nightclubs in Provincetown than for fighting. Christ, enough with the midriff-baring. One good-looking armor that covers the torso, please.
