It's stuff like this that tip me off to people not being a actual friend in real life. Sometimes you just have to let 'em go because they're more trouble than they're worth.
I don't know how games are working nowadays but City of Heroes let you assign "personal" player ratings to global names so you could always find "the turds" and avoid them. It's a great feature that all open world MMOs should have.
I've got a feevah, and the only prescription... is more cowbell.

I think the "constantly blames his incompetence on others is the worst type.
Someone that isn't good and know it is fine, I can help him/her improving, but the blaming other type who sucks and don't know or admit it, people like that wont improve and they wont stop with the accusing whining on other players that actually does what they are supposed to.
Kicked and on "ignore".
Same goes for anyone generally unpleasant (you know, racial slurs, calling the healer useless because the player is female, insulting to the others and similar stuff.
MMO beggars for instance is slightly annoying (not the RP types trying to score a silver for a drink but the ones who wants gold and good gear) but I don't bother putting them on ignore unless they spamm but I ignore all spammers.
Spammers are rather annoying but still nowhere near real jerks.
The people who just suddenly quit in the middle of a long dungeon without a message are truly annoying (but I can accept a whisper later about technical difficulties, that happens) and those I wont group with again. I would put them on ignore but for some reason do my list tend to get on the large side so I put worse offenders there.
Besides those groups there are a few minor offenders but they rarely bother me. I generally get along with most players but I expect people I group with to be civil to eachother or at least be silent an d emote a nod to show they understand the groups instructions for any harder stuff. People don't have to be polite or anything, just not rude or they can find someone else to group with.
Just the player who goes around trying to 'group' everyone because he has his own agenda of quests he can't complete solo and has to go when all of his are done.
What do you mean by trying to group everyone?
Notice (Insert player's name here), wants to group with you. Instead of asking in chat first.
^ that is called a 'ninja invite'. It happens quite often for parties and guilds. I personally consider it rude and will ignore them every time. At least PM/whisper me and ask before just spamming the invite button.
if you group with someone you dont know and they use the term hun/babe alot..with the conception that they are female..you get along..then you realize the way the person is talking in chat in a full group is really a guy just by the mannerisms in the way they talk in chat..like they are bouncing back and forth..is it a guy or girl?should i be not talk in a perverted manner? should i be nice and respectful? ..its confusing like they are a transgender..or just playing the "part" just to get good gearz or loot drops..with ADD i cash out of small grps alot early if i dont know the person ..trusting is not my strong suit , exceptionally in a pvp environment lol

How about always going for nice and respectable? It tends to work fine.
Flirting in a MMO is something you should stay clear of unless you gotten really good friends and learn to know the person first, if you want to flirt with random people I suggest going to a pub. Or at least go a pub in the game and RP being drunk and obnoxious.
Some people do flirt for gear and gold, and yeah, they are guys with a female avatar.
After a while it gets obvious which people you should play with and people you are better off avoiding. Nice and friendly people ends up on the friends list, loud and obnoxious players gets placed on the ignore list.
As for flirting, nothing wrong with going on skype or webcam with someone you know a bit...unless you are married or a politician.

Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

When the group pre-decides to greed everything and they need on the first valuable thing that drops.
If they have a shitty name. Like Sasugay.
If they say anything about Groot.
Be the Ultimate Ninja! Play Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN today!

Kyleran on yours sincerely
'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'
Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...
'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless.
It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

Especially when it's known the game/guild/community is harmful or troublesome, yet the player keeps going back and wondering why it's happening.
