"toon"...it's a character, not a "toon"...this one infuriates me to no end

"nub"...'nuff said

"saccer"...lots of necros sacrifice...call them "suiciders" if their job is to kill themselves

"PvE"...since when did your characters struggle against, trees, mountains, buildings, etc...you fight monsters, not the environment

That really annoys me in pve because 9/10 when you are in a group with someone that says "GO GO GO" it is destined to fail.

Yes...I make a mental note of anyone that seriously uses noob to describe anyone...especailly after just one run...and then don't play with them again/laugh at them over guild chat with friends.

saccer = sacrifice...er

pve agreed....PvM people did we learn nothing from Diablo 2

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.
Don't you love American youth culture and all it's small town, never left mommy and daddy, antics...oh wait I'm being a biggot...lmao

It never fails...any game with non-US players will have half the chat filled up with complints..."I HATE KOREANS/KOREANS ARE GAY"...it never fails

This isn't a specific word, but when I load a map with a PUG, I hate when my screen fills up with what items PUG members are holding.

"I am wielding a Green Weapon That I Bought In War Camp."

I could care less what you are wielding, let alone every set.

What your problem with PUG's? Most good ones I've been in were PUG's. Maybe you're most comfortable with just being in grps with guild members only.

And yeah, "GoGoGoGoGo" and its associated lines are really annoying. That's the real problem with some people...lack of patience, not letting everyone set their skills to where they want them to be or take care of r/l quickies like the bathroom.

Erm...I would like to think better of my own monking ability.

Although there are times when Alesia amazes me. If I monk with her, right before I push the button to heal someone she will do it before me. The computer has the advantage on reflexes.

But I dont stand in fire.

I can do without the "HEAL", "DAMN MONKEY HEAL ME" yet I have 3 warriors pulling mobs from all directions, and a caster(s) who thinks he/she is a tank. I normally leave a group after someone joins and begans shouting "GOGOGOGOGOGO" but I sometimes stayed with the group to watch the idiot die and leave . It just satisfaction I guess. I also hate the words "plz give Xg for storage/armor/weapon" even more so in droknar's forge while they are below level 8. Any of the "you buy?" crap but today I got " u eat shield? hammer/axe/sword". . I did not know we were eating shields, hammers, axes, and swords. The word newb(and all variations) is just overused and shows you are a complete genius
Actually when I type "lol" I am Laughing Out Loud

OK. I have to ask:

A. What is all this 11one!! stuff?
B. What is ftw? I'm guessing it's f___ the w___ for some w___ or other, but that's just a guess, and an incomplete one at best.

And "noob" has got to be the most overused, as in anybody who won't pay 5K for any gold item whatsoever is an alleged "noob."

But I don't do PvP right now, so I've been spared a lot of the gloatspeak

any 1337 word
any words which are used in conversation when Caps Lock is ON
"rez" or any word where "s" has been converted to "z"
"godly", "godlike"
"cheater", "cheats"
"you suck", "u suk", "you all suck", etc.
"what?????????", "what!!!!!!!!!!", "wts ectoooooooooooooooooo" or something similar
"I can solo griffons/hydras/minotaurs/uw/fow" or something similar

Character names like "im the best", "immortal king", "super tank", "godly monk" or anything like that. It wouldn't be that bad if those players would be good but 95% of them have no clue how to play.

My list would be endless. There is so many annoying character combinations.

For the most annoying, I vote 'godly'. What the hell is up with that? No, your weapon is not blessed with Divine Power. It isn't rare that it is one of a kind.

The second one would be to people on vent that forgot how to laugh, and instead say 'lol'. That is so strange.

Sometimes they did have a wierd skillbar and said thanks for the help afterwards, but almost 90% of the time, this person had been playing that character for quite a long time and actually knew what the hell they were doing, whereas the "change for me" person, typically has never played that skillset he just told and he only said it because he got it from the build section of this forum...
I'll add my most hated to this as well. Nothing I hate more.

This one has been popping up lately in LA "WTF item X", I don't know about you but I'm not sure I want to buy it when they are done with it.

Which country's keyboard has the "F" key and the "S" key close together?

If I see it again I'll have to take a screenshot!

"Kick the necro" or "WTF a necro?" Until recently it was extremly hard for a necro to get in a group for anything.

Maybe it's easier for necros these days. As a mesmer I still get to hear:
"What's that mesmer doing here?"
"Kick the mesmer!"
"WTF noob mesmer."
"I'm leaving if you don't kick the mesmer NOW."

My personal favorite: "LOL who's making them cuss?" whenever I use Cry of Frustration.

And various sundry variations thereof. Needless to say, mesmer-dissing is what I hate most in GW.

EDIT: I'd also like to add I hate that both Marhan's Grotto and Granite Citadel have been totally ruined as nice places to kick back and relax. Citadel used to be a nice quiet place to be. Now both outposts are hives of scum and villany.
