If I had to pick one that got the majority of what I've grown to hate lately, I guess it would have to be the "rude" since that could include the afk'ers, ninja looters, spammers and the like.
The type that bother me most are the people who flood chat with anything from the latest meme from 4chan to Alienware trolls to flaming out the person who asks a simple question when he's first starting out. Would also include the people, as I witnessed in TERA, to changing loot policy to FFA right as the boss was dying, looting everything and getting out as quick as they could, holding the group hostage for group leader before then since they were either a tank or healer and the rest of the group had been in LFD for hours before waiting for those two classes.
Also as I saw in Rift, getting cussed out in a dungeon because I wasn't keeping up...since I had pick my quests up and was still learning my class / the dungeon. That may have been a bit on me, but when a game never forces you to group until max level...well, that's not entirely on the player. Plus can you blame someone for not wanting to ask questions / look for a group in chat when there's a good chance of getting flamed out of chat with no serious response?

"It should go f2p nau!", "It takes a week to get to achieve max level it is too long!", "I don't know how / I don't know where, game HAVE TO show me way itself", etc
The finger pointer. You can even be having a good run some times and there is always that guy looking for fault in what someone else in that party is doing. Ninja looters are a close second for me. It's hard to be worse than a theif. However, a well practiced finger pointer can ruin a game faster than anything.
The super solo guy who plays MMOs to be around other poeple but goes out of way not to interact with anyone.
A close second would be the idiot that doesn't try to learn their class/role and blames everyone else for what they do wrong. This very different then the noob. The noob doesn't know better but is willing to learn. This guy thinks he knows what he doing and is unwilling to learn how to get better.
I will not play a game with a cash shop ever again. A dev job should be to make the game better not make me pay so it sucks less.
None of these really effect me being able to complete the game except maybe if a tank tries to rush a dungeon or if someone calls me a ninja and get /votekicked so maybe rusher most annoying. You don't really have to be polite, smart or spam free to play the game but of course it's prefable not to be those things
I voted Other because The Chat Flooder wasn't discriptive enough. It should have been:
Forum Warrior and In-Game Chat Flooder.
In most pvp situations, he becomes the Ultimate Expert and Armchair General.

No matter what mmo you play you'll also find freaks who find some vocal emote and constantly repeats it over and over, both mostly because what fuels them is that their out to annoy people.
Trolls... I cant stand them, and the this is a WoW clone crowd

The person who asks 1000 questions in general chat that could be found on google in 5 seconds. I have no problem with someone needing help with something, but when they want every single step of their quest/event spelled out for them it drives me nuts
Happened during the last event in GW2. Go to a zone to find an item and mapchat is the same thing over and over. "Where is the NPC?" "Where do I take the quest item?" "Did the event start?" "Where do we go next?"
There are hundreds of sites with that info. Alt-Tab and look it up yourself!
Probably not the most annoying, but it was for the past couple days
not an easy poll..a lot of the types are often found in combinations together in a single person so it hard to pick just one aspect you hate most. bad people are just bad.

Only when im tank, but ranged who insist on pulling before i get to the mobs...i can pick up threat instantly but annoying a hell to chase things around so i often let the ranged who pull tank themselves and usually let them die, unless the healer insists on healing them (even more annoying) then i have to help them anyway >.> ...but for anytime im not tank it would have to be a large percentage of the mmo population...the troll, as they can achieve more than one option from your poll at a time...lol

so funny I feel your pain, kinda reminds me of Lord of the Rings movie (forget which) the old guy on the wall with his bow drawn and pops off early starting the whole battle.
Other - A term someone used earlier seems to fit my most annoying type of player, 'Armchair General' These people in PvP contribute nothing at all to the BG or whatever but give themselves the title of commander, give forceful and usually useless commands and just blame, shout at, abuse and criticise other players for losing while they are just stood in the graveyard playing with themselves.

I wouldnt say i abuse other player's but i definately criticise alot of em....especially the ones that you see in every mmo nowadays that have like a 1 kill to 4 death ratio with no objectives accomplished....im not even that good but i can usually find myself either on top or in the top 3....sumthin wrong there and thinking about how useless alot of the wannabe pvp'ers are somehow makes me mad just thinking about the scoreboards ive been seein in WoW lately, GW2 somewhat too but most of the stats are hidden from other players so only when i see em slacking...in a sense i guess im a wannabe eltist in a genre where alot of the elitist's have disappeared sadly...alot of players got annoyed by em but i loved fighting em to test myself and get better overall
Edit: On second thought its not so much they disappeared as much as they've been flooded out by all the bad pvp'ers...i still see a few every now and then

You get the point.
I wonder why would anyone let another to spoil their fun in using an entertainment product.
- ninja & otherwise annoying people in a group .. use the quit button.
- annoying people in chat .. ignore
- kill stealer, just move away to another place, plus if you play in an instance, no one can affect you.
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
