Most hated Guild wars 'words.'
The Real Roy Keane
<3 means that you are less than rank three,and are therefore 'teh n00b rofl.'
Dracus Steelbow
i hate every word dpeople miss use, or over use. I can understand people how talk in wierd ways, like this "R u goin 2 teh prty?" becasue that is a form of speech called L33t.
also, people who say in english please, arent necisarily dumb, they might just not understand what u are saying, or take sentences the wrong way.

I'll say this again, and will keep saying this. Guild Wars is a great game, but about 30% of the community aren't very nice. I don't meen an offence to anyone, as usually people who are reading this, or people who go on forums go on to discuss there ideas, or just general chit chat, and don't meen any offence to the community. About 95% ( in my honest opinion) of forumers are polite players ingame, and are not at all, or very little neusence to other people/ players.
Please feel free the comment on my opinion, but please, No flaming.
Thanks.
Ash.

The "n00b" nonsense, whichever way it's spelled is childish.
For the "Please give me money..." sentiment, it doesn't bother me. I've found a way to have a bit of fun with these people (esp. in Droknar's) I just announce: "FREE MONEY!!! See Ipillu Wupwup in Whitman's Folly."
As for the "LFG, no nubs" - That's easy to deal with, too. Won't see them in any party I'm in.
Funniest one is "LFG Someone invite me to their --- ------- ---- group!" - Not happening, Sparky!

Other then the obvious words, there are a few others that just get annoying like when people find out what the abbreviation stands for then it’s spammed after each sentence. ftw being one of them

Anyway, this is a dumb thread. Most of those abbreviations exist because it takes too long to type them while multitasking the game. Why would you keep typing "Looking For Group" 20 times to find a group when all you have to do is type "LFG". Virtually almost everyone knows what it is in the game. |

Well, when used in moderation atleast, I have lots of uses for it, usually ending sarcastic/joking comments ingame with !!1one/!!11eleventy/!!111eleven etc
But yea, !!!111!!11one!!1eleven!!ONE!11 would prolly be taking it over, agreed there.

words?.... most hated for me is the ctrl-click on health bar when i'm monking... what do they think i'm doing...staring at them, not my fault that their health is low and they're miles away from the rest attacking some spellcaster which really doesn't do any dmg the monks can handle.... when i see two health bars dropping and i cast on someone and my monk moves, i abort and cast on the closer one, why? cause by the time i get to the one way in front, they're both dead.

I hate going to the grotto because for some reason it is the hang out for so many people using all the previously described words, and I hate the fact that my feet get stuck to the floor.

the worst phrase ever is...
"LFR to Dorknurs!! Will pay X"
not only do they completly butcher the name of Droknars Forge but they are getting run there at like lvl 2!!! pathetic...
other bad things include...
"touch me and i'll give u X amount of money" (ok i touched u fag wheres my money! "no u didnt u n00b, no way u touched me")
"WTS Guild w/ Hall and cape" (i certainly hope it doesnt have an members in it)
and the word.... n00b. at least have the decency to spell out Novice if you are going to say something like that to someone...

Oh I can Think of a few:
GOGOGOGOGOGOGO - time to bail out of this group before they waste your time.
Cranite Citadel has turned into a weird place with all the: "LFG IDS 5 Man no noobs" and other weird eclectic demands that are placed on anyone wanting to be included in a IDS group
Anyone who pings every single stupid thing they are doing. I have Aegis on me! I am using Healing Breeze! I am using Spiteful Spirit! My Energy is 48 out of 49! I am wielding a Overlordly Bashing Hammer of Meatsmashing! Constantly.
Also anyone who has the name "Lord", "Godly", or other extreme reference in their game name, especially sexual ones. I simply will not join the group if the onscreen names are offensive or stink of idiot warriors.
I do not use the term noob - In game, I simply refer to warriors as idiots when they clearly have no clue as to what the rest of the team needs to do to support them.
The Grotto is truly the epitome of a bad GW neighborhood. I go there get my skills and never go back.

"Here, monkey, monkey, monkey!" -- Like...hello! They're not monkeys! They're monks!
"Can anyone lend me gold?" -- That one is really annoying. Just go out there and kill some stuff.
"...no n00bs, plz!" or anything close to it. That one is the most annoying, especially to those wanting to try out the ToA or SF missions for the first time, and more or less, what drives them away. C'mon, people...is there nothing wrong with "educating" them on the missions? We were all new to those places too.

here we go- the most irritating word of all time:
"nerf"
yeah. i hate it.

"Running to X, have Y slots left."
Where Y is the amount of maximum party size minus one.
"selling X, no noobs"
Like.. duh? I've always shrugged those off by thinking the seller is a 'noob' themselves.
"you buy?"
...
"ive completed the game 8 times"
Yea, that makes you special, doesn't it.
"X looking for team, have FoW armor"
That makes you even more special. I get more suspicious when there's people in FoW armor around, looks like people who... bought it outnumber the people who worked for it...

Abbreviations are fine with me aslong as people know what on earth you're talking about. Offensive words such as "n00b" or anything which may cause offense are the worst kind of words. Why would someone play a game with real people and then verbally abuse them. It shows no sign of manners and such a person will not go far in life with abusing others. I do hate the words "armor" and "favor".... where is the 'u'? Why can't people spell correctly.. (and i do know that it's because of the USA... well they took my language and over simplified it. If you speak English you might as well spell things correctly)
There is nothing wrong with having "Lord" in the name for myself it is because of the fact that a lord is a nobleman..

But seriously, what I hate the most is not runners and runnees, I can deal with the "Running to X for Xg" and "LFR to X". I am against the concept of running, but prefer to keep quiet about it as I prefer to not let it affect my game time if it doesn't need to. It irritates me when I look for a party to fight somewhere and someone messages or speaks in local to me along the lines of "LOL you can just run there, why would you fight?" or "I can run you there if you want". It's even worse when I join this fighting party and the leader invites this person then turns around and says "Hey guys, I got a runner instead". Yeah, gg you freaken asshole.

Agree with you 100%. Pwn and Noob.....cant stand it...here are quite a few words I can't stand:
Pwn (any variation i.e. own, pwnage, etc.)
N0ob (same as above i.e. nub)

100% agree! I hate the word godly when used to sell weapons. If a weapon was godly it would make you have infinite health and energy, and you can never die and you fly around and you teleport anywhere anytime and you kill anything in one hit, you get the picture. LOL
I hate the word Paladin.

One Word.
"Nerf"
As in "Anet, please nerf mending, it's overp0w3rdz!!!11!one!1!"
"tey need to nerf IWAY it sux." ( Yes they do, just STFU about it =.= )
"nerf icy dragon swords plz."
"backfire suckxs. nerf it"
Others:
"Mending sucks" (Don't need to hear it 100k times)
"GLF 2 Monks" (Get the healer henchmen dammit! They're better than any monks you'll find)
"WTS <insert item> for <price over 10k>, best <insert weapon type> ever!" (People seriously need to do this in the trade window. It's so unused >.>)

...after reading a few monk quotes...I gotta say, I was most put off by being called "Bernie Mac" 'cause I was his "niggah"...all racially charged crap and general bigotry. Someone gets fussy about Korea having favor...then the racial ephithets start flying...I also hate "fag" and ghey/ghay/gay and all its many variations...just gets very old and I find myself switching districts to avoid the inane ramblings of American Hitler Youth and their supporters. Don't get me wrong, I'm no prude and appreciate a jolly reference to some randy buggary now and again....but the rude racist/prejudicial crap is VERY annoying.

For me the phases.
"you buy" <-Even when it's not aimed at me it annouys me
"rank 6 LFG for mission" <- in PvE i don't care what peoples ranks are, i admit you may be great at pvp but your rank doesn't make the slightest difference to if you get in a group with me or not. (this is not a bash at pvp'ers)
