More to add

1. People who type alot of crap into their names to make it extremely hard to type it out again. Not many people know that Ctrl + C works in GWs, thus they are hit hard by all this IlI Kawaiii Desu ^-^ lilil names.

2. Narutards. No, you cannot do shadow cloning, and you won't survive stupid amounts of damage. Shadow Forming isn't not in the show so don't bother with that.

3. Rangers that use Daggers/Scythes with Escape (I think they call it Sway), do you know how unbelievibly annoying it is to take down one of these things when they are next to impossible to hit in melee and you need either a mesmer or elementalist to get the job done. Nobody brings stance removal much except......SWAYERS! (Wild Strike).

4. Extention to 3, rangers doing every RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing job better than other classes, Warrior - RaO thumpers, Assassins - Escape Daggers!, Dervish - Escape Scythe, Paragon - Pack Hunter! (Who needs those chants?), Necro - Toucher! (Although this has been falling out since everyone is wising up in how to beat these bonehead morons). NERF EXPERTISE OR REDUCE IT'S EFFECT ON NON-RANGER STUFF.

5. People who whine about the big 3 mass recruiters, KISS, YaRR and NiTe, maybe their members are there for the GH Benefits? This comes in a case where I was on my ele and another ele in arenas was doing extremely piss poor getting targets with her air ele. I tell her off for it and she goes "U r in yarr u suck". That must make you MUCH worse... Don't hit about people just because of that tag, mass recruiting attracts it's fair share of morons, but not all of them are.

6. The damn skill "Resurrect" and people who use it. It's unlinked, it sucks, don't use it. If you use this in arenas, GET OUT.

7. "Offer", this one word is the bane of trade, I won't say more than that.

Boy, do I ever have a list for you.
1. idiots who kick people out cause they're using an elite like shield of regeneration, calling them a "noob"... how childish.
2. People who pretend they won an argument by ignoring the other player when they're losing.
3. People blaming one person's monk henchies when they suck and die. Don't like it, get out of my party.
4. People who advertise their guilds to have thousands of people and who are looking for more. That's just selfish, in my opinion.
5. Idiots who advertise items outside of trade chat, and say "I don't care about the rules." when you ask they stop.
6. For the most part, Local Chat all together.
7. People who can't spell words like "you", "you're", or any other simple words using things like "u" and "ur" in it's place. It doesn't save time, and doesn't look "cool". However, if someone has a limited understanding of english, it can slip.
8. Anyone who calls people "noob". It's a stupid word and it doesn't hold any weight to it anymore. It never really did. Give it a rest.
9. People who "nude dance" in outposts... just... no.
10. I despise interrupt.
11. Arrogant people who act like they know everything during a quest or mission, unaware that they're making themselves look like idiots.
12. People who try to sell masks or other automatically customized items to newer players. That's just pathetic.
13. When people ask out loud in an outpost: "Can I borrow 30k?" or anything like that. Just irritating.
14. When people use the word "da" instead of "the". Especially in names.
15. People who private message people telling them to "Get a life".
16.

That's about all I can think of, right now.

I agree with you 100% and I absolutely HATE HATE HATE the people that are like this.
Many examples

Me: Hey, I'm doing pits, or you want me on another area?
Random idiot: OMFG KISS KICK HIM KISS SUCK UWSC.

And yet KISS is a tag, not a name. I dont see KISS in my name, I see it on my tag, therefore im not bad, someone else must be bad. :\

Oh and another thing that bugs the hell out of me is people who copy guild names +/ capes.
WHY? WTB originality :\

Local chat in general gets on my nerves. I honestly can't stand further butchering of the English language.

Stuck up people can get annoying. These people think they're the shit and doesn't give a rat's booty about it.

Not having to play for awhile because of a terrible computer. That one drove me insane.

I'm too brain-dead to think of others at the moment.

Oh, come on. Sometimes people just so happen to make a design like another, and didn't know about the other. Same with tags. My guild tags are [XVII] and I happened across another [XVII] tagged player outside of my guild. Sometimes, it's just coincidence. It happens.

People who blame PvX for every holy thing that is wrong with Guild Wars. A PvX build is any build someone uploads onto the website. It's a good reference for starters. I bet I'd see way more menders without PvX around.

People who refuse to ping their builds before a mission. These are usually the ones that start vomiting fire if something isn't going well. I'm sure your build is something truly revolutionary you want to keep for yourself. However, I have had my share of tards in all my days of PuGing (still do). I don't care that particularly much about damage dealers or midliners, but if a monk refuses to ping, I'm taking a hero instead. I've seen too many healer who seem to have not yet discovered protective prayers. Twenty seconds into a battle, I see them ping:
My Energy is 0 of 68!
My Energy is 0 of 68!
My Energy is 0 of 68!
My Energy is 0 of 68!

People who grind without learning a thing about the game. In my old guild I was in for about a month, the guild leader grinded Iway until he got to r9. One day when we were about to start HA, I tell the leader I'm getting my defensive sets together. He asks why...

A similar case to the one above. We had some ranger join the guild with r4 champion rank or something. He makes an arse out of himself strutting his r4 rank around. We start a match, and I just see so many things he's doing wrong... (Not switching to flatbow to kill archers, troll unguent at full hp without even getting attacked... His idea of interrupting is randomly tabbing through enemies and firing interrupts at recharge) We won a match, and he starts bltching about how it should've been much easier, how there's no hope for this guild, blah blah blah...

I don't like it when you just joined a group and you lose in the underworld and then you get kicked cause that just implies you brought the team down, but in most cases it is the team work cause c'mon, who can't win underworld! There is no complex objective so there is no one to blame... (like unholy temples, its right to blame snare if he did not snare or runner if he did not run).. but I guess if you lose underworld and they kick you off the bat, you wouldn't wanna stay anyway.

well, for example if you got an earth ele with unsteady ground, and he always looses it on e.g. monks while spiking isntead of using it on rangers against rangerspike, and you die because of that (no defense, spike on infuse, team dies). i would seriously kick the earth ele than.
or b4 weapon of warding was nerfed, i kicked every ele/rit/whatever who was not aware of the fact, that he is supposed to keep up a fcking weapon of warding on the ghostly hero @king of the hill.

just my 2 cents

@topic:
1. I hate pvebars in pvp. in general. no matter where.
2. i want to pug cuz i want to put a char through one of the games to get equipment, want to pug, they call me noob, because i dont play that [enter usual pve bar] and run some stuff they dont know.
3. failers who invite themselves in experienced groups.
4. euros who play in ad1 UWSC and than complain about 216.XXXX server or who tell me, that it matters, wether we enter from POLISH or SPANISH.
It fcking doesnt.

Someguy: Can I see?


Which leads me to the question: do players ever read the whole sentence?

I also hate:

- PvP'ers who put PvE'ers on this list lol. Seriously wtf do you have against us? There are just as many noobs in PvP and no, not all of them play PvE. (Not to mention there are thousands of PvE'ers who do well in PvP too).
- Random people asking me to have a 1v1 with them. It's cool really if they would just stop it at "no". They never do >.<
- People who refuses to do a dungeon, even an NM one, without adding a perma sin... there are other ways people!

Unevenness. Lack of retroactive changes. Lack of equitableness.

For example, not all professions have the same number of skills or available armor, and the unbalance between drops in different campaigns is annoying. dagers and scythes won't drop in Prophecies, and while nightfall and eye of the north have literally hundreds of skills dropping there, you'll find the same damn Long sword again and again in Prophecies.

You can find the same weapon skin with different names, and the same name used for different skins.
When you say "Fire staff" or "steel daggers" you are naming various skins instead one. That's misleading. It's WAAAY better with names like "*nothing*/Tyrian/Canthan/Elonian Fire Staff" or "Lesser/*nothing*/Greater Steel Daggers".

Factions has two prestige pets, the realms of the gods have one, and the other campaigns have none.

We can visit three realms of the gods, but not the other three.

We can use a focus core from Nightfal in a Eye of the North shield, but not in a Faction shield.

Things get added in the end, instead evenly through the entire game.
They could perfectly have added new areas in Prophecies with skills and drops for new professions, and close them for those that haven't been in Factions or something like that.

Trust me. Even is better. You'll thank me later.

Another big GW pet peeve is when I get random people whispering me, which normally doesn't bother me, but it's when they try and convince me that they know so-and-so person, or was part of this-and-that guild, and it's just complete BS.
There's two reasons this bothers me, actually
1) They think I'm going to dismiss them because they're from some no-name guild or bought their invites to whatever guild, so they're gonna lie about who they know or what they did.
2) They don't think I can just go and ASK their false references if they've ever heard of them, or think I can't specifically recall who played for what guild and when.

In reality, I don't care what guild you're from or what rank you are or how you got it; everything shows true in the end.

My most recent encounter is this guy who bought Easter The Monk's account (from mkay, dP), and has since tried to assume the identity.
Oh, and some other guy named "Il Andkun Dust Il" trying to convince people he's a hot japanese girl from HAnD, but has a "broken mic".

Seriously. -_-

2. Requests sent via whisper to take armor off. I mean, really.

3. PvE-er suck! PvP-ers suck! Chances are you both suck, shut up.

4. People who completely freaking fail at timezones. They stand around in LA/wherever for hours going WHEN EVENT START?! instead of, yanno, learning to effing tell time.

i have no problem with people in those guilds but i do find their recruiting ads rather annoying with all those extra characters like that weird S thing that any one can find in a little thing called character map

and im not even gonna comment on the pve'rs suck cause i would like to think i can hold my own in pvp or pve.

and i thought of another to add in, people in TA who get a random combination of 4 and start without even getting a balanced team going or getting a specific team build set up

1. NPCs in factions who refuse to do business with you because you have too much of the wrong kind of faction. (Far and away my biggest pet peeve)

2. Gate Monkeys who, after being paid, say "Can I come along?" - NO! If you want to get into a Charr hunting party, find someone who is not trying to sqeeze out a few XP for LDoA.

3. "Pro tip" - Actually, this doesn't bother me, since it is only used by D-bags. Thanks, D-bags, for warning me that whatever you've got to say is probably not worth reading. Saves me a lot of time.

4. People who make right turns from the left turn lane!

Seriously. -_-
I never had anything that extreme because I was never good enough, by my biggest pet peeve is something similar. Pretty much after every game I'd play that would show up on obs I would get PM'd by people telling me they are a good player and I should let them join my guild.

#1, I wasn't recruiting.

#2, Even if I was, why would I randomly let someone I don't know just join?

#3, Half the time I wasn't even the Guild Leader or in charge of recruitment. I guess people just assume that because I was a warrior in the #1 slot that I automatically am in charge of everything (although sometimes this was the case >.<)

Basically random people should never ask a person they just saw on obs if they can join their guild. The answer is always no and we are less likely to be nice to you because you aren't asking a question or looking for help, you're trying to lie about your abilities and looking for us to do you a favor and give us nothing in return.

He never said PvP is pure and all PvErs are scrubs. He said PvE players with no experience in PvP trying to give their retarded opinions of how to balance PvP is a pet peeve of his.

That isn't lumping every PvEr together. That is lumping every "PvE player with no reputable experience in PvP, yet still think they know how to balance PvP" together.

Maybe you should learn reading comprehension and stop getting butt hurt every time a PvPer mentions something PvE related. It is you who needs to get over yourself.

and another pet peeve of mine is people requesting skills to be buffed to overpowered levels to counter what is already overpowered and not nerfing the overpowered crap. They tried that in August and December of 2008. They were quite arguably the two worst skill updates in the history of the game. We spent the months following those updates nerfing the update we just had, and when that problem finally got fixed (it actually still isn't fixed completely) we were back to square 1 and trying to balance crap that should have been fixed a year ago.

Anyone suggesting adding more skills to the already large cesspool of overpowered skills needs to shut up and never express their opinion again. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about and every time you give your opinion you make everyone around you more stupid for having read it. Stop it. Shut up. Yea I'm an asshole, deal with it.

Totally off the topic of PvP vs PvE hate - my latest pet monking peeve has gone from people who bring resurrect to people who bring monks with charm animal. WTF?!

A more general annoyance is when you're doing a zquest or bounty in normal mode cos you already got it HM, and you advertise it as such quite clearly in chat and party search ("LFP ZB *normal* mode") because you're bored with h/hing everything and would rather talk to real people... and people invite themselves via party search then say "Is this HM?", and instaquit when you reply "no, NM". L2read, dipshits. (Ty to today's NM Raven's Point team if you're out there reading guru, it was a fun run once we gave up looking for the last four players who knew what "normal mode" meant. )

I think Zipster was also referring to earlier posts in this thread where people clearly just say "PvErs" and not "PVErs with no experience suggesting things they don't understand, etc.", in which I totally agree with him. The whole PvE v. PvP thing is just stupid, anyway. You like what you like and everyone was a n00b at some point. Clumping everyone together is just arrogant and counterintuitive on everyone's part.

Here are some more peeves from me.

1) People who beg for gold, especially when it's in really minuscule amounts such as 1-50G. Just go outside and kill some monsters; it doesn't take that long, and you can sell all the crappy drops. In the time they spend asking Ascalon to give them Xunlai Storage funds, they could've killed the monsters themselves.

2) People who troll runs, oftentimes by zoning while the runner is still going, or by purposefully luring mobs to the runees while they wait, etc.

3) Runners that just give up or disappear right in the middle of the run, leaving you stranded and having to look for another one.

4) People that just stand there while PuGging, not sending off spells or slashing at monsters or anything. I can give some leeway for monks or if this is a stragetic tactic, but when you just see an idle Warrior or something just standing at the back, watching every mob go while everyone else is haulin' ass, and they are clearly just leechin' off of you... Get out!

He may have been talking about other posts, but he didn't say he was and he specifically quoted that one, so I was just going off that.

And I agree with you completely about the PvE v PvP thing. And it works both ways. No one likes people who generalize everyone under one label. I hate it when everyone considers all PvPers to be elitist a-holes when the majority of people I've ever played with are some of the nicest and coolest people I've met. And I can understand where a lot of people would get upset when people call all PvErs bad. I just think people who take things personally when they aren't even part of the group that was being complained about are just as bad as the people who generalize everyone together. It just leads to a lot of unnecessary conflicts that divides the communities even further.
