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.

There are people who have seen the light!!!

Okay my language is not perfect English, like for example when I cant be bothered or I'm in a hurry I might talk like this ' r u rdy?' etc so i'm not like one of them 'stop destroying the English language people' but none the less i have several things that really annoy me:

'pro/expert runner running wherever, guaranteed to make it' The over use of the word pro and expert - like they do it for a living, they dont even know what the word means! it just bugs me (unless they work in a sweat shop, which they should'nt be doing!).

Then the guaranteed to make it part, no runner can guarantee a successefull run. Sometimes you get hexed with crippling anguish or other slows multiple times and you are getting hit too much, and the degen is just too much. Then theres lag, nightmare (as in horrible, hard - not the creatures) spawns, what if the runner drops has a power cut? You cant guarantee a run, stop lieing!

Another thing is 'WTS WHATEVER NO NOOB OFFERS' First, use the trade channel. Take off the caps lock, stop spamming and its n00b not noob...moron.

'WTS godly weapon shadow bow' for example, you get there and its good perhaps e.g. Req 10, 14 > 50, 10/10 sundering, +28 health. But NO! This is not godly. Godly would be 15 >50, req 7 or 8 with full perfect mods! If you were a god would you settle for anything less?

Then 'this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Is one '!' not enough? You muppet.

When you see someone saying "kick the Mesmer and/or Necro" in PvE, you're seeing their ignorance in all it's glory! I'm not familiar with the Necro skills, but I love the Mesmer's Domination magic skills: backfire, empathy, energy surge, etc. good times! and that's just the tip of the iceberg of how mesmer's can screw up your enemies.

First, I'd like "FTW" out.

I get tired of seeing:

"Rank 3 FTW"
"Rnak 3 FTL! YOU FIGIIT!"
"No rank FTW!"
"No rank FTW indeed!"
"/dance FTW"
"Anet FTW"

I mean come on? For the win... FOR WHAT WIN! What are these 12 billion contests and competitions going on in your head that are constantly having winners!? For sure you are not always thinking of an opponent! SO WHY? WHAT IS IT/HE/HER WINNING AGAINST!

Secondly, to type "FTW" has become the most common thing in some areas, its like a cliche<[Whatever key it is to put that thing over that E], everyone says it, and they go on hyperactive "FTW" sprees.

Its like a drug! Dont do drugs! They bring you high for a moment, but then you live low.

And the whole "FTW indeed" thing, does that make you sound mre intellegent? NO!

*Steam comming out of ears*

Oh yeah and all those names people call eachother that have to do with the action of sex or the parts that commit that action, those have to go to, and not just from Guild Wars.

I know everyone said something about the "noob" line, but i hate it SO MUCH i have to point it out AGAIN. It is so ANNOYING when someone says "OMG U NOOB!". Please, people make mistakes! Let them make them and learn from them and next time you play with them, they will be better! I hate it when they say "nub" or "n00b" and even more when the say "NOOB".

But surviving in the real world will be an enormous problem -- many of them aren't dumb, they just sound dumb. That will be enough, unfortunately, to keep them out of the best jobs and schools.

This comment is directed at native English speakers. For those who aren't ... heck, they have my admiration for communicating at all.

And at first I thought that those with bad grammar and communication skills were mostly from places where English isn't spoken. But most often, when I talk to some of the worst cases, I find that they are - in theory at least - native English speakers.

It doesn't bother me at all, more jobs for me! More opportunities for me to elevate myself over them! Woohoo!

American public education has gone a long way, sadly..

I agree completely. It seems that the level of education today has sunk to a new low. Too many kids have atrocious spelling and grammar, and when I mention this, they say thing like, "i dun caer u no wut i meen". People need to realize that even in games, how you communicate says a lot about you. I don't usually deal with people who can't communicate decently if I can help it, as I find it to be a fatiguing experience.

So they're all "sacrificers". The ones that intentionally kill themselves should be called "suiciders", or "sui" or something if you must abbreviate everything.

Yes, yes, yes! This is the number one word that pisses me off. I seriously yell at my computer when I read people saying "my toon", "this toon", etc. Argh.

It's probably from World of Warcraft where your character actually looks like a cartoon. But Guild Wars is blessed with characters that *don't* look like cartoons, so call the characters, please.

Toon (along with noob) is a pet hate of mine. I will accept char, character, avatar, but toon is asking just too much.

Oh yes, as for the spelling and grammar in game, that is shocking as well. I don't mind contractions. I don't mind: WTF, WTH, OMG, OMFG, BRB, WB, BB, NN. I don't mind seeing: cu, c u, u, cuz, tho, thru.
The ones that annoy me are those that can't manage to make a proper sentence, even using the above contractions.
As a linguist by profession it is immediately obvious to me the players who are not native speakers of the language, and those who are but simply have no idea how to use it.
Plurals and apostrophes are my pet hate, but perhaps most of all it is the attitude of the players who, when you point out their error, feel the need to "get you back" somehow.
Upon pointing out the error made in the plural form of a word the other day I was promptly told that my character's name was wrong. The idea that it was a nourn and a name, rather than an adjective, seemed to confuse them completely. Actually I think what confused them completely was the word adjective, I'm pretty sure they had no idea what an adjective is.
The character in question is "Rael" which is a form of Rahel, which is an Eastern European version of Rachel. Of course when I pointed this out they started spamming the channel with "Rael/Rahel/Rachel is a sux name", and "Rael/Rahel/Rachel is a sux player."
*sighs* Yes, English is their native tongue, and you can tell by the formation of their sentences. Their spamming only confirms the fact.

Any and all combinations of the words "Your mom" and "WTS" in public chat. Because when you run out of insults and turn to mom insults you lose and everyone knows your out of ideas. Don't get me started on "WTS" in public chat.

WTS on public chat in non-city places, except Augury, doesn't bother me. The trade channel in other places just doesn't exist and most players turn it off unless they are in the capitals and are looking for something specific. I've closed some of the best deals at non-capitals from those who advertised in the general chat window.

First time I hear "toon" was several years ago in EQ. Before that the characters were always "Charaters" ("Char" for short) or "avatars".
Then there's the "kk" for "OK" as if the O and K are that far apart.
As for the word "Noob" and all it's variants. I have found in my many years of online gaming that most "noobs" [cough] are better players than those calling them that. They are less into themselves and play better as a team, rather than NEEDING a team to conform to one person's build. There are always execptions, but this is a general rule of thumb for me.

And yes, I hear the name "noob" pointed at me daily when trying to get a group as my Ranger/Warrior.

Mostly cause I wont and refuse to re-spec my character to fit someone else's idea of how I should play. I bought the game, I will play it as I enjoy it... thank you. Send me $50 and I'll re-spec for you. /bow

Heh. The problem is necros (with the possible exception of minion masters) and mesmers are so subtle that people don't see their effect. You could be playing the decisive role, but many people won't realise that the reason the bad guys are easier than normal may have something to do with those little purple triangles that keep showing up. By contrast, it's easy to see the Warrior standing up to the enemy, the fireballs and lightning bolts from the Elementalists, and so on.

Me, I've always found things seem to go a little better with a Necro around, and when it comes to Mesmers... well, I play a primary Mesmer, and I never understood why people thought Thirsty River was hard until it was my Warrior's turn

. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the people in the group I was in the first time round thought they were just especially uber that time 'round... (Or I could be being uncharitable... from memory that was a good group, and I think they did accept a Me/E without asking the Me to pretend to be an E after all...)

Incidentally, on monk players and monk henchmen: Depends on the situation and the player. I've met some very good monk players, and the difference is more or less what you'd expect - people are less likely to do suicidal things (like think Healing Touch is a good skill except for healing yourself... no offense to anyone who does get good use out of it, but as a healer I don't think getting that close to the healee is often a good idea) and, with experience, human players are usually better at setting priorities. But the computer does have the reflexes thing going, as long as they stay alive themselves... and they can certainly do a good enough job if there are no human monks around and you're not trying to do something where the hench AI (or lack of Infused armour in certain missions, especially bonuses therof) is a liability. I finished Perdition Rock in a team with the two monk henchmen after the effort of trying to get even one human healer proved too much (the one that was around refused to go into a mission without another healer as backup...)

least favorite words: "rank" and "running to..."
least favorite phrase(only in CA): "who thinks they can take me one on one?"

as for "noob", i dont think it's used too much in GW. i watched my little brother play runescape for about 3 minutes once, and i was amazed at how much "noob" is said there. it nearly made me sick.
