What IRRITATES you when playing MMORPG's?

Rikimaru_X

*Take 2* I want to know: What aggravate, annoy, bother, bug, chafe, exasperate, gall, get, grate, irk, nettle, peeve, persecute, pique, put out, rasp, rile, vex, make you want to lose your mind while playing an MMORPG? I know we all get aggravated so please share those moments with us.

Here are some of my examples:

~ Players who just don't talk in a party (usually more than 2). I mean if they can't speak in the party then sometimes it's no use to be with them.

~ Resurrecting someone and they don't thank you for it (that goes for healing too).

~ beggars. This is what I tell beggars: "All the monsters stole my money, If you kill them they will drop from them and you can have it"

~ LAG

~ People who think they are tough and talk s*it. Yeah, trying to be bad a*s online really makes you tough.

~ People who leave your group/party after a defeat when their sole purpose was to gain from the party (greed). One time my party died from a stupid mistake (Except Me) and almost everyone except 3 people (including me) left and I ress the people on my team. I taught the newbies a lesson that day.

~ People who think they are leaders but don't know what the hell they are doing and they always end up dying and/or leaving the party. (I know we all seen it before)

~ High levelers trying to be the boss of the lower levels, picking on them instead of something their level, or bragging about their level.

~ ignorant People

~ Scams

I got more, but please share your thoughts to the community.

fulmanfu

people that cannot read their own quest journals

lunamonster

People who don't have a clue what they want to do in the game and don't know how to do anything anyway. People that just want an I win button.

Oh yeah, good one. That is always a problem for for many players, especially ones with no patience. That is one to add.

~ People who have no patience. Ones who when dead say "RESS ME!!!! RESS ME!!!!" or "HURRY UP!"

1: People with names like this: M3d1vh, c00lguy, l0v3g1r1, DarkelfBR,ShadowhunterBR, ShadowroguePL
2: People who don't even try to speak english and speak their own language in chats like General chat and broadcast. mind you, i know what its like to speak english when its not your native language. 3 years ago, I couldn't speak a word english, but I learned more english from MMORPG's then my english teacher could ever dream of.
3: Arrogant people. a common situation I come across in Lineage 2: "Go away, i was in this room first, i'm doing a quest".

paulscott

beggers, whiners, and people who ask for help before they attempt to figure it out.

people who ask for quest answers.

I don't care if someone is a noob, I even help them out since everyone started small. Nor do I mind if there are some kids spamming the chat channel since there is always an ignore function (as long as there aren't too many of them of course).

The only thing I really hate are killstealers, especially when you are camping a mob or something like that.

Cleffy

Unbalanced classes, and "etiquette" that gives the overbalanced class even more power.

spookytooth

Logging in, thinking to myself "so what shall I do?"....look around....oh yeah....the only thing to do is tediously grinding through mobs for xp

There are other things, but thats number one - the tedium and boredom.

SpiritofGame

 More and more these days, I think I miss games which don't have full PvP (PK) and also the sweet ability to train hordes of mobs onto someone -- so you can smash the little buggers for their insolence.

If somebody irritates you these days, you gotta, what?  Put them on /ignore?

Bah.  Kill them all.

After all, nothing says "F.U." like beating someone into the ground.

I got my bad attitude the old-fashioned way ... I earned it by being abused by jerks.

Roin

These so called PvPers that have given True PvPers a bad name. They want to be able to have full on loot and other crap like that. Just so they can gank lowbies. A true pvp would tell you he doesn't kill for loot. He kills because that is what his character does. That's how he roleplays it. People don't need a reason to pvp. It's human nature to want to kill. Just need to provide area's to do it in.

Thats how its exactly like in Silkroad because everyone just wants bonus exp when partying.
Its such a silly reason made in a game for people to party

What ticks me off

-People who constantly ask for help, and when he doesn't get it.
He would probably post in a forum that "this" game has a crap community.
-KSer's
-LAG
-People flooding/spamming the CHAT
-Stupid things that are implemented in the game
-Loading Times
-People who think they are pro's because they use hacks & bots

Torak

People who beg for cash and items...hate em.

Being in a party where everyone is taking in different channels (some in party, some in guild, some in the general add a few private tells for good chaotic messure) Pick a channel damn it!

spineshank

Being labled as a gilbuyer.  (gil is the currency in ffxi)  I've been playing for two years and i have pretty much everything i could want.  I have crafts leveled on several accounts and max choco dig so making money isn't too difficult for me. 

RMT has become so normal in FFXI that everyone just assumes anyone with good equipment buys gil.

Sheista

People who think that because they pay a monthly fee they can say -whatever- they want in chat. Barrens General chat in WoW anyone?

Rammur

I hate everyyone now days who play online game even most the people on this site this site has turned into pure negativity since i joined this community back in 2002.Most the people now playin mmorpgs have lost all concept in the mmoRPG's its all about talkin smack or bein leet in pvp or havin mass loot. Looking all uber.What makes a true mmorpg are mainly 2 diffrent things it is a good community and good gameplay thats the only 2 things needed for a great mmorpg.But no too many bones heads just window shop and hop on and dont even try and get too know the community.They quit cause the graphics or some lame thing thats is not important in a mmorpg environment.Most the people who nag and bash online game ar normally kids around the ages of 14-16ish mainly becaiue they have gotten spoiled by the new age online game.Most the mature people in the age of 18 and up maybe a tad bit older started their online gameplay back in the days of MUD's MOO mercs mux's etc etc all text based games and many them text based game blow todays game outa the water gameplay wise.Ah im just rambling im done now.

Sorrowho

I hate Getting players in a group that dosent speak english, or some other languede i can understand...
I hate Getting owned in pvp
spending hours searching for a party, without finding any is probly the worst
also botters sucks, they so annoing and some times i just snap on em
dying in Pve even tho your healer has almost full Mana
also dying caused bye maager lag

Well said

trigger190

People that hate the game they're playing but refuse to leave the game or its forums.

LadyTyger

Things that really "tiff" me off

-#1 People who discover you're a gurl gamer and don't believe you...and then they proceed to grill you on the spot, still with every answer they are not convinced and continue to make themselves look even more dense than before.

My response; Gurls play too, get over it. It's not our fault guys play gurls. If they want to, that's fine - but don't flat out call us liars because of it.

-#2 People have already said begging...I have a new form of begging for you. I've played Tantra (a game based in the Philippines) for a little bit. In this game the begging is a whole new torture device. Someone will ask for something (ie; group, items, etc.) and even if you can't give them what they want this is the response for 15 to 30 minutes (*seriously*):
"plzzzzzzzzz" "No." "plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
They won't shutup, even if you're polite and then at the very very end you get one of those 4-letter words they should be smacked for. *blinks* That's beyond irritating.

-#3 The term "noob". Can't stand it. Have never been able to stand it, can't completely say why. I think mainly it's because this is what I see in response to anything anyone new is asking in games these days. It's said as an insult and that is what irritates me about it.
There are new people in every game. Everyone at one point was new, including the rude people that insult others for wanting to actually take the time to learn the game.
So, my typical response would be: "BOON."

-#4 Duel Spam. Someone constantly challenging you to a duel. I don't know about everyone else, well, actually I do. I know most people enjoy dueling. I've been gaming since I was 16 and that was quite a while ago. I used to be quite good at dueling in EQ, I even had a trainer for it. I got sick of it. I just don't enjoy it - I'd rather play along with the game. So I as a person and a player prefer not to duel. But people don't ask. They'll spam it and they'll continue to challenge you. *twitches* Just wait until we're on the battlegrounds, fool - that or go find a bar to brawl in.

-#5 Blind Party Invitations. By far one of the most annoying things I can think to add to this list.
People say "oh, it's not that big of a deal, blah blah" that's great for you, but this is my list. It gets overly frustrating to a RolePlayer or Soloer...or anyone with common courtesy to constantly recieve blind invitations. I'll tell you how to fix this:

"Would you like to group?"
"No, thank you."
"Alright, take care then."

But that never ever happens. You have no idea what the people are doing that you're constantly spamming with your annoying invitations. People lead lives too and they may already be doing something in game, they may already have plans, or their hair may be on FIRE for all you know. Use the chat, it's there for a reason!
I will decline any and all blind invites until the day I die as a player. I don't care if I actually need a group. If there's no communication there's no purpose for a group anyway.

[vent = "off"]

Ok, now I'm done with that for now
It's early, I've yet to have a habit and wake up totally.
Have a great day everyone and safe gaming!

Dedthom

I agree with LadyTyger, unwanted invites to group are very annoying because if I wanted a group i would be in a group. Unwanted duel challenges are usually given by people looking to rack up another victory and when they cahllenge someone who doesn't care about dueling it is an empty victory but the beat thier chest anyway. I just let those duel challenges sit there if I can without answer. Also, I hate the word noob. But the word newbie Ilike. I dont mind being a newbie if I am new to a game. Also, I hate people in WoW that have 20 different UIs going at once and insult you if you dont.

Rikimaru_X

People who complain and hate players who have jobs in game they don't like. You know what I mean by jobs right?
