Too much character-based unlockables in PVE. I'd love to have a bunch of primary characters, but the idea of having to unlock EVERY SKILL and upgrade EVERY HERO on each character just makes me cry. And that's not even touching faction.
"Well you could just not unlock all that stuff" to which I say... how can you even live like that? Of COURSE I have to unlock everything on every character. Must.. unlock.. must.. unlock..
There're skill tomes, but those are drop-based and thus you still have to shell out money to others for 'em.
I can deal with having to gear and rune heroes on each character, unlock them even, but skills and faction.. blah. Would rather see a thing where, once a character finished its home chapter - or even all three chapters - then they'd unlock every skill that's available on your account. It's goofy that heroes work that way, but not player characters. Of course, this would remove a huge gold sink, so it'll never happen. =( Maybe some special quests to unlock account-based faction on a character, also.
Biggest Guild Wars Pet Peeves

1) People selling things for ectos that aren't worth ectos.
2) People refusing payment in anything other than ectos.
3) Leechers/AFKers.
4) Minion AI.
5) Defy Pain Spearchuckers.
6) Skill effects that trigger on cast - Why some do and others don't. This should be consistent, but isn't. Examples: Glyph of Immolation and Searing Flames. The burning from Glyph is applied when the spells are cast. The burning from Searing Flames isn't applied until after the spell hits.
7) Lornar's Pass + Sujiang District. Mobs of 30 aren't acceptable, especially when they contain triple healers/resto-rits.
8) Mesmer armor. The males look like stereotypical gay fops from 1600's Europe.
9) Being told they are trying to not have any grind at all in the game, yet introduce things and change things that cause nothing but grind.
Farm nerfing, chest keys/lockpicks, consumables and Title Tracks, I'm looking at you.
10) The crazy-assed mission known as Vizunah Square. It's divided into two quarters: Foreign and Local. It's freaking creepy to go into the mission when you are Local and seeing an invisible Foreign Quarter team running the same mission - up to and including see drops for them appear in your instance. If you hit Alt when this happens, you can even see their floating nametags. If it is supposed to work this way, then they need to fix it so that it's a proper 16-man mission and those people actually are more than ghosts stealing your drops and vice-versa.
11) People blaming a wiki for builds being used. I mean come on, almost every 'great'' rated build on there was taken from Obs mode. Don't blame those guys for posting what they see winning teams using. It's a website, ffs.
12) Pet peeves that make me go past 10 per list.

1. The whole PvP vs. PvE argument. Everyone has a different idea of what is fun and the only people you're convincing by screaming about it, are the ones that already agree with you.
2. People who bash permasins while ecto farming with their 55monk or 330ele. You're making yourself invincible and dealing AoE damage. It's the same stupid idea with a different profession and it takes just as much thought and effort to do all of them. (aka, not much) Just because something is older, doesn't make it better. :/

I've just got a few main ones that bother me
*People with black dyed obsidian armor with chaos gloves and w/e EotN headpiece will clash the most with the rest of their outfit. Don't get me wrong I don't mind Obsidian armor or even Chaos Gloves but it's very easy to tell who's wearing it because they like the look and who's wearing it because they desperately want to enlarge their e-peen.
*A**holes, the kind who think it's cool to insult everyone, more than people who cause party wipes these people are the reason I don't do PuGs anymore. I don't care if you say you're "just joking" if the first thing I see you say is pointless string of insults you are black-listed for me. (why is the "ignore" list so damn small?!?).

It's always been a 16-man mission for me (assuming someone is actually on the other side when I enter.)
Has this "phantom team" thing happened to you often?

If there isn't a team on the other side, it will be an all henchie team. Same with Unwaking Waters. Just... wow.

How is it not obvious to anyone that the guy's having graphical glitches that doesn't allow him to see the foreign quarters' participants?
Let's hear you say something that makes more sense if Vizunnah Square always worked that way for you.
As can probably be guessed, one of my pet peeves in the game/forum is people who run around and look so dam hard for someone to flame that they end up posting a completely idiotic/asshole comment.

1. Sellers who do not respond/are afk (though not set to afk).
2. Warriors who overaggro.
3. Warriors who overextend out of healing range, then bitch when they die.
4. People who 'assign' you a build when you join their party.
5. People who ragequit.
6. People who drop or spam what they are wielding for no reason.
7. People who demand to see the stats on the weapon you are wielding.
8. People who complain about the cost of runs.
9. PvPers who think they are better than PvEers.
10. PvEers who think they are better than PvPers.
And whats wrong with asking someone to offer? From personal experience, when I am asked how much and I say my price, its usually a straight no. No one even tries to haggle these days. So I'm more inclined to sell my item to you if you offer, that way we can atleast haggle to a price that meets both mine and the buyer's wants. I see nothing wrong with wanting someone to offer, but maybe its just me.

People who ping a build with 170 or 185 attribute points, but they are in 'elite' areas of the game (UW, FoW, Deep, Urgoz, DoA, Slavers). The attribute point quests are not hard, and except for Prophecies, they aren't even hard to find.
Lexar
What I hate is when you start to type something but as you're busy you find out to your horror that you didn't open the chat thingy and your screen gets spammed with inventory screen, guild roster, skills, map, observer, you name it.
And because you want to cancel skills like a pro you made sure esc doesn't close windows, so you have to close them all manually.

Example: I once came over to a guy who sold a gold r10 tyrian cleaver 14^50. Excited since I love old fashioned skins, I decided to ask price. He said offer of course. I then offered a very reasonable amount of 5k, and that is even high for such a regular item. He then actually said, in these words: "No deal, try again". Pretty curious I asked him how much he expects to get for it and he answered "I don't know, offer". Now is he a reasonable trader? I think he's just trying to take advantage of me.

1) People that think Ele's are only good at searing flames. We are at gate of pain, doing HM, with a ranger that wants me to run his "good ele build" without a single PvE skill and Meteor shower. I refused and he adds Vekk and kicks me. Why am I not surprised?
2) Rangers without expertise, learn to read, learn to win.
3) Great dwarf weapon > PvE, get a infuser or ER support and you turned hard mode into easy mode. Yet a lot of teams lack it.
4) Not enough dervishes, I want to run scytheway but there is not enough dervs.
5) People that think they know an area inside and out. I run DD/HoS/Stygian I believe I know a little more of "Insert area I run here" than you do.
6) People that STILL carry charm animal.
7) People that insist bringing a necro heal when they already have 2 healers on the team. Here is a hint, kill fast, live longer.
8) Frostmaws... The bitch of bitch dungeons.
9) People not giving discounts on fail runs.
10) My OCD curse to end lists on a 10 or 3.

I hate when I cast protection prayers on someone but they keep kiting and shake agro off on someone who is completely unprotected. So then I just wasted energy and now I have to wait for the spell or spells to recharge. I just don't know why someone would run away when they have protective spirit and shield of absorption on them. It's also really annoying when people run away from a fight that the team is winning. Like one warrior will attack someone so they run 3 argo bubbles away and half the time it will be one of the monks.
Nessar
1. PvP/PvEers who think they are better then everyone because they have bambi/r1 koabd.
2.People who run away when I'm trying to heal them. Seriously wtf?
3.Sins that like to go after me anyway after I blinded them/cast guardian on myself.
4.Rangers with ANY fire ele skill. Nuff said.
5.People who beg nonstop for armor even after people have given them money for it.
6.People who talk shit in local then after I call them out they don't say anything else.. :c
I'm sure there's more but that is what bugs me the most.

Arachnephobia
1. Pointless arguments, that never has an end to it (AKA: religious, politics, etc).
2. Frostmaw.. So tedious, annoying, and just puts me in a bad mood.
3. Lead guild in an alliance who expects to be treated like a prince/princess.
4. PUGs ditching you, when you've clearly lost connection, and or died and haven't been rezzed.
5. People who think that they're badass for doing this or that, and shoving it into others faces, which is really annoying.
6. PUGs who have a job to do something, then run off and play tank, and if the person is a warrior they run off and get themselves killed so many times, then blame the rest of the group for the 'lack of healing'.
more to come..

i can tell you how it sucks when you're in a run and one person decides to leech which pisses off the runner and they leave thus ruining the run for everyone. i only been scammed a few gold here or their on some items i sold but it still sucks. someone in my allaince thought it would be funny to call me noob when i said i couldnt do this one mission alone.
Beggars! i just loath them so! i think to myself if the time you spent begging for something you could have gone out and done it or got it. i to hate people that ask for help with every mission. i been playing for 24 months and when i can remember a mission i print up a map so why cant you?
and last but not least title epeeners. i FINALLY reached my 20th title but do i run up to peeps and flaunt it? no! i do a happy jig then go back to my event farmer. titles dont mean squat except like me you had no life to get them.
