What ticks you off and sends you into a swirling inferno of anger and frustration?

For me it's when random people check you in town and then comment on your gear. Now don't get me wrong I don't care about /checks, infact I check a lot of people myself but when they go out of thier way to mock your ENM or BCNM or SOLO gear or subjob it pisses me off >_>

Take for example when I used to level drg/whm, I would get a lot of checks concerning my gear and how gimp it was. Now when I play DRG/WHM usually I'm just trying to solo a few more xp to level up, or just looking for a change of pace. For this reason I take off most of my Acc gear and replace it with MP gear.

So next time you see a strange subjob/equipment combo there is no need to try to enlighten the player to the conventional choices :wtf:

Sorry that's my server-down rant for the day :lipseal:

OMFG this is going to start a s**tstorm! So, by all means, let me contribute! :P

1) People telling me how to do my job even though I'm doing perfectly well but I'm just not using their techniques/order of doing it.

2) People who join HNM's knowing full well how demanding they are and after they get in you rarely see them online.

3) Whm's that don't use Regen.......at all.

4) Rdm's that don't refresh Drks, Blu's, etc.

5) People who are gently instructed by me, when I'm on brd, on where to stand so that songs can be put on the appropriate people yet they DO NOT LISTEN....no matter how many times you tell them.

6) Pt's that complain because you nuked too hard and drew hate but yet if you do not nuke hard enough they complain too......MAKE UP YOUR MIND!

7) Drks that don't know well enough when to cancel Souleater, Last Resort, or Berserk. OR one's that stack all three.....stop giving your healer a heart attack!!

8) Melee that just want to do big dmg even if it means pulling hate and wasting mp which makes it harder to do chains because mages have to rest and the chain is lost. HATE CONTROL PEOPLE!

9) Mages that don't understand the concept that Cure 4 pulls a LOT of hate!! When the leader says NO CURE 4's, he means NO CURE 4's!!!

10) Ok....this is a HUGE one for me....I could go on and on at great lengths about this one....WHY DO MAGES HAVE TO STAND IN AOE RANGE!!?? Dynamis, Hecatomb Wave, 99% of the ls has Slow....but me....cause I stand out of range....because slow is bad and whm's erasing every damn person every damn fight is a waste of mp......why!!? WHY!!?

11) Annoying calls in macros that people spam! <call11> gets your attention, its not annoying so WHY GOD WHY do you have to use <call>!!?

12) Why can't we turn down the volume on calls? We can for effects but not calls....why? Why can't we just disable the suckers!!? WHY!?

Ok...I have to get cleaning here soon so I'll stop. But trust me I could go on and on and on and on..... Its just human nature. We play with other real life people and we are not able to control their actions so we become frustrated when someone doesn't have the same opinion as we do. So most are said with jest and realizing that no one is perfect. Well I say.........TRY HARDER DANG IT!! :P (again...said in jest)

OMFG this is going to start a s**tstorm! So, by all means, let me contribute! :Phahaha XD

I have two.

1) People who tell me how to do my job while doing a crappy job at theirs. I'm tolerant of people who just do one or the other, at least until the party ends, but if you're gonna bitch at me about what I'm doing, you better be flawless at whatever you're doing.

2) People who don't understand that subjobs/equipment/strategies are all situational. This includes both the cookie-cutter people that think the "best" sub is the only sub, even nin before 24 and thf before 60, AND the people who go out of their way to have only gimp subs because cookie-cutter is wrong be default. Both groups are gimp. They hate eachother and I hate both of them.

Well mine is short

1) lol, orz, w, or anything of the like.

Hey i'm on thegrandmom's number 2! HNM's make me sleepy.

9) Mages that don't understand the concept that Cure 4 pulls a LOT of hate!! When the leader says NO CURE 4's, he means NO CURE 4's!!!


:rofl:
Or how about Redmages that convert mid battle then divine seal CureIV and complain when they pull hate?!?

:wasted:

hahaha XD

You pretty much covered my main two. 2.) especially, although 1.) also makes me crazy.

And I know it's a lost cause, but my only other pet peeve:

3.) People who don't even try to use the english language properly. I know I'm kind of fighting a losing battle on this one, because most people don't care enough to bother, but it takes more effort on my part to type and read in internet speak, and it makes me crazy when people in my LS or in my parties can't seem to find their shift keys. Or most vowels. I know it's not really fair of me, but I tend to think that these people are stupid when I read this stuff, and it makes me crazy (and a little bit sad) to be surrounded by it.

I don't need point perfect grammar every time, but an attempt would be nice. Those are the people I feel I can actually converse with. Unfortunately for me, I don't often encounter them.

7) Drks that don't know well enough when to cancel Souleater, Last Resort, or Berserk. OR one's that stack all three.....stop giving your healer a heart attack!!Physician, heal thyself.

Mine:
1) People who demand only X works for Y mission, they only end up getting you killed by expecting X to do all the work while they sit back doing very little

2) People with stupid macros. I don't want to hear about how you plan on having your way with something against their will.

3) People

1. Blms in manaburn that cannot time thier nukes properly, causing deaths of others.
2 Rdm that cannot do a resnable refresh cycle, cause just admit it, the only reason your invited is cause of refresh...
3 People who refuse to invite bst, or hate bst for some lame reason.
4 Undercutters, and not like ones who do it by like 900g but like large percentages of the price.
5 Tanks that cannot keep hate to a resnable degree.
6 People not listening to resnable sugestions
7 War's who use great swords in xp ><.

I agree with most of thegrandmom's list

Also I'd like to add one: People who refuse to grow up and use some new foods. To this day I still encounter people using mithkabobs in the 20's 30's and 40's when there are much better food choices for these levels.

This isn't to say that later on Mith/Chiefkabobs are great attack foods but they are by no means the one and only!

I Convert in mid-battle all the time. I don't Divine Seal it, though, and I never complain about it if I draw hate (usually have Stoneskin up, so even pulling a bit of hate is a non-issue). Generally speaking I use enough -enmity for it not to be a problem anyhow (or I do it at the start of a battle before I start casting anything, so I'm not on a hate list yet).

---

Peeves:

- Groups that ask me for multiple Raises when I'm XPing in another group and I'm on WHM. I'll raise one of their mages so they can get back on their feet, but I'll be damned if I'll spend *1500* MP plus 10 minutes to recover MP to Raise III their entire party because they didn't want to invite a white mage of their own (and don't give me this guff about there not being WHMs around at level 75 - there's tons). That 10 minutes will cost my party about 2K XP each.

- Anyone who asks for a D2 who isn't in my party when I'm on BLM. That's what scrolls of Instant Warp/Warp Clubs/etc. are for. You wanted D2? Invite a black mage or bring your own method of transportation, thanks.

- Melees who ask for Finale or Dispel because they can't hit the broad side of a barn against an enemy that hasn't used any buffs (and in some cases, doesn't even have an Evasion buff in its arsenal).

- Thieves that complain about getting Ballad after they spend 95% parked behind the Paladin.

- Anyone who asks for a Sneak in Ro'Maeve or Tu'Lia at any spot other than a zoneline. If you're high enough level to have a legitimate reason to be in those zones, you're high enough level to afford silent oils for emergencies.

- Melees (particularly monks, but also dark knights sometimes) that deliberately try to pull hate for (insert reason here). You may think it's fun and cool that you can pull more enmity than the tank, but it's not fun to try to heal the double damage or more you take because you've got Counterstance or Last Resort + Berserk up, and it's even less fun when the tank now has no extra tools to cover for me now that I've pulled aggro from healing you.


Icemage

3) Peoplehaha indeed4 Undercutters, and not like ones who do it by like 900g but like large percentages of the price.Dear lord yes. I was trying to sell a stack of items for 200k, but this other guy's items kept selling ahead of mine for weeks until I undercut by over 50k! But of course when I do it to get under him and get the stuff off my hands finally, then the price drops. Wtf.- Melees who ask for Finale or Dispel because they can't hit the broad side of a barn against an enemy that hasn't used any buffs (and in some cases, doesn't even have an Evasion buff in its arsenal).So true.

Also I'd like to add one: People who refuse to grow up and use some new foods. To this day I still encounter people using mithkabobs in the 20's 30's and 40's when there are much better food choices for these levels.

I'm not sure what you mean. In the 20s and 30s, Meat is one of the best things for a melee to eat, for the most part. What would you suggest?

I'm not sure what you mean. In the 20s and 30s, Meat is one of the best things for a melee to eat, for the most part. What would you suggest?It's not the eating meat that's the problem, it's the eating the wrong kind of meat for your level range. Here, read this (http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/food.php#Food_Effect_Limits).

1) Rampant, baseless generalization.

2) People who think their inability to afford something is a sign of an economy that needs fixed.

3) People who do no real research, yet manage to have very strong opinions.

4) People who ask tons and tons of questions, yet are angered by advice.

5) People shouting that they are LFG. In-game mechanisms, you dirty feckers!

6) Pullers who don't know about chain time limits.

7) Anyone with Bio who casts it without discussing it with the party.

1.) RDM, SMN, BLM who over-cure me as a WHM; sneaking in a Cure II as I cast Cure III, sneaking a Cure III as I cast Cure V.

2.) RDM, SMN, BLM who cast Cure II/III after I cast Regen III (thus wasting some MP and more importantly a LOT of casting time - Regen is a slow spell to cast.)

3.) RDM who fast-cast a Cure III/IV after I start a Cure III/V and end up making me waist MP.

4.) RDM, SMN, BLM, who do the above when its not even neccessary for them to be backup curing (like when I still have 600+ MP left).

5.) RDM, SMN, and BLM who then procede to bitch me out for not doing my job (usually because they have NO mp because they are doing my job, and I have 600+ MP because they are doing mine)

6.) And the number one pet peve, RDM, SMN, and BLM who do all of the above and non of our members have even dropped to yellow yet -.-

Edit: As a side note, if this thread can be kept from getting defensive - that is, if people don't get into the "Well, I'm job X and I do what you say not to because..." I think it has the potential to be a real eye-opener in terms of "the little things" that people do they may not even be aware of.

It's not the eating meat that's the problem, it's the eating the wrong kind of meat for your level range. Here, read this (http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/food.php#Food_Effect_Limits).

I've read that. ;) Meat Mithkabobs may not be the ideal food for that level, but they aren't the worst, and they are stackable and cheap, which probably has a lot to do with why people use it so much.

I'm much more bothered by a melee using Sushi as early as Valkurm and Qufim than one who tosses back a Mithkabob.

Personally, I used Jerky until about 20, then I switched to Dhalmel Pie.

Very simple for me;

1) People going AFK without saying so in the worst possible time. I know some WHMs very guilty of this that I just want to {Choke}.

2) People asking me for money... out of no where. Just... "Give me 20k." Response: "Show me your Thief sub."

3) People who are gulible to rely on third person information rather than first person. I'm not going to get too far into this but the people who just SHOOT down any "suggestion." "Hey it was a suggestion. Don't argue just /nod and /smile."

EDIT (Oh last one... I swear this makes me bonkers.)

4) In Qufim/dunes;

Member A: "My other job is 75 blah/pshaw and my other character on whogivesadamn server is shutyomouth."

Member B: "Well my other job is 75 noone/cares and I just killed soandso. Thus don't tell me how to do my job."

Me: "Damn people, I don't care who you are or what you are. Focus on the task at hand."

**Only for bad parties though, I've had some great parties with some nice mentoring from the Veterans to the new-comers."

Nothing pisses me off more than 1337 $|*3/-\|<, especially in people's names.

Excessive loling is annoying to.

There is a guy in my LS who starts and ends every sentence (and I use the word sentence very loosely in his case) with a lol.

I sometimes incorperate the use of lol to ease a tense situation or make a rude comment seem otherwise friendly.

But I agree lol at the end of each sentance is annoying. I mean how often are these people actually laughing out loud?!

＾－＾

*Edit: By the way Aelathir I love how you have all your jobs to atleast level 10, something most level 75's don't bother with.

I'm getting them higher! I just haven't updated my sig.

And as I mentioned in another thread, someone who laughs that often in real life would sound kind of crazy or at least slightly unhinged.

lmao Yeah the people who never stop laughing out loud must draw some crazy looks from the people around them. One would wonder how they managed to type with all the hysterical giggling if it wasn't for teh {fact} thet ther wurdz r all wtf brken.

PS Edit: Btw, Aelathir, it's impressive how fast you earned that Brain of Knowledge title without actually spamming.

the real-life equivalient would be a smile; its the simplest, most easily recognizable thing you say with body language, and is very often what "lol" actually means.

I don't do it in FFXI so much, dunno why, but I often use g (for "grin") or s (smile). LOL really should be reserved for situations where you really do LOL.

I usually use ^^ especially tacked on to a sentence that might be taken negatively to help make sure it's not. I wonder sometimes if I use too many emoticons. >_> I wouldn't want to annoy anyone. ._. But at least I mix it up a little. ^^ People who use lol all the time usually develop the impression of being lunatics, or at the least an insincere personality. ^.^; Especially if they're tacking it on the the end of a sentence where I would use ^^ as a softener. -_- Makes it sound like they're laughing at me. ><

I tend to lean towards using a smilie of some sort (:D or ^^ being most common for me), and using haha for the times when I really do laugh at something.

Taskmage: I was surprised too. It's just that I'm online so much of the day and I have a lot to say, I guess. :wasted:

People who /sh abuse at each other or just whinges generally in cities. I never see any JP players do it, it makes English speakers look like inconsiderate morons.

People who /sh abuse at each other or just whinges generally in cities. I never see any JP players do it, it makes English speakers look like inconsiderate morons.

I tend to ignore that sort of thing, but I totally agree that it is annoying. The other day some guy in South Sandy was shouting "SE SUCKS!" to which I felt obliged to reply "Well, the jokes on you, since they have your money." Which everyone got a kick out of.

But generally, yeah. I try and ignore that sort of thing.

1. "Craig" rather than "Crag"

2. "Diablos" rather than "Diabolos"

3. {Reward} instead of {Reward:} ({Reward} refers to a beastmaster ability, and does not have the same meaning at all)

4. {May}{bee} (translates to {fifth month} {bumblebee})

5. I see RDM/WARs or WAR/WHMs in parties, or even WHM/WARs and their excuse is "I was soloing"

6. Tanks who have gear that is half their level (happened last night, the NIN tank was level 18 but his gear was the level 8 kenpogi; healing wasn't fun when his shadows dropped)

7. WHMs who use benediction to recover HP after the battle is over, when they could have just as easily curaga'd

8. ppl who i cnt udrstnd cz dey cnt use vwls or pnctuashun (People who I can't understand because they can't use vowels or punctuation)

9. Anyone who uses "lolz" out of joking situations

10. People who don't know what the return key is or what paragraphs are (in forum posts).

11. People who are afk all...the...time

12. People who don't see a problem in saying they are going afk for 20 minutes in a party, and can't figure out why they were kicked and replaced

13. People who...uhh...separate...everything...with periods....but...don't use...any....other...form of...punctuation....to separate...their...um...words...and...uhhh........ .paragraphs

14. Complainers (intended irony)

That's it I guess...for now at least.

http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/social.lounge/57608-oppie.selfish.galka.html

A) People asking for teleports when...

1) I'm crafting and obviously I didn't homepoint here in the crafting city.
2) they are oblivious to the fact that I can't get back here when I'm crafting on SMN/WHM.

and before you go and ask, "Why didn't you go /anon?" that brings me to...

B) I hate it when people go anon.

C) Curing a BLU while they are trying to learn a spell, and taking all the hate from them. I can't take the hate back without killing the mob, stop trying to be helpful /blockaid on (Then I get people saying, "Why can't I cure this guy?" "Beats me")

D) Gathering a large # of people together to do PM's and finally it breaks right before we actually do it because people have "other things to do".

I can't think of anything else right now. I guess I'm not that mad.

1: Cookie Cutters.

2: People who think jobs are gimped.

3: People who won't do anything without the right jobs.

4: Non adventurers.

/check
/invite

I don't accept invites from people who noticed I existed while randomly checking all the people around me. I don't like to be treated like food at an effing buffet. Using the search function is one of the most basic operations in this game and if somebody can't even use it properly they should seek until they're invited to a party where they can ask how.



4: Non adventurers.

Slap me with a sneak and invis and I will go anywhere and train a zone when we're done.

Go buy some Prism's and Silents like the rest of us. :P

That's actually another one of my pet peeves, party members who don't buy powers and oils when we're venturing through extremely dangerous, possibly Guivre inhabited, areas. What's harder than being a White Mage healing a Paladin tank? Being any job that can cast Sneak and Invisible while travelling through rough neighborhoods. I think it's too much to expect, and just too much pressure on the mages.

I'm always stocked!

Wow this thread is picking up...
and to add my most recent encounter;

People who invite you to a party then kick you afterwards without a words notice.

Usually thier delayed excuses range from 'sorry a better job popped up' to 'our dc member log back'<- Todays example.

Not only did I zone, which lost me my xp chain and adventure fellow but I also bought some party food by the time I was swiftly kicked.

1: Cookie Cutters.
Call me an elitist snob, but I simply will not eat the sloppy, misshapen, so-called cookies that are the result of not using a good cookie cutter. If I can't clearly see that it's supposed to be a bunny or a snowman or a Christmas tree, then (No thanks.)

Ellipses is on a roll today.

I'll take the opposite stance and refuse any anthropomorphic edibles. The less like people or animals my desserts look like the better.

:P

My pet peeve is the kind of party that I haven't been able to escape since I took THF into Yuhtunga. That one special kind of party that takes 2 hours to find an invite, 1 more hour for anyone to find a healer, a PL inexplicably shows up after we get a healer, they insist on going to Yhoator, the DRK keeps DCing, they can't SC properly, the monster is flopping around spazzing out because nobody bothers provoking it, so no SA+WS, and after 15 minutes, and 2 mobs finally killed, they disband.

There goes my whole effing attempt to play for an evening before I have to drag ass off to bed for work.

I agree about cookie cutters.

One other thing I don't like is when someone invites me to join a party and yet there's not enough of other players lfp to invite to make a party either and even makes me leader shortly after.

Sorry for the off-topic post but,

Aelathir you've inspired me to level some of my lowbie jobs and hope I'll have half the fun you seem to be having :P

Sorry for the off-topic post but,

Aelathir you've inspired me to level some of my lowbie jobs and hope I'll have half the fun you seem to be having :P

Well, I'll admit that it is pretty fun, but it's also an issue of economy. The more time I spend in these low levels (using the same gear over and over in many cases) the more gil I'm stockpiling via farming, crafting and fishing for those later levels when I will need gil to buy better gear.

Also, this way I'll have all of my subs leveled, and multiple options for Promyvions and BCNMs. :thumbsup:

My pet peeve:

A god damned small bladder. I drink a lot of beer, and find myself pissing more than most people. I have to damn near "WC" every 20-30 minutes. It sucks, although same thing can heppen when I drink a lot of water too. I feel bad for the parties I am in when I get going. Sorry guys ><

People that don't beleive things that can be easily proven...



"DUDE WTF IT'S NOT IN DB"
"That's because I took it out"
"Wtf you can't take sent items out of DB LIAR"
"Um, yes you can. Go try it."
"Dude stfu I don't need 2 test it i hav 40 lvs of crafting I kno how to use db"


(True story ><)

omgeez. 40 level of crafting. Bet that put you in your place right there. :rolleyes:

40 levels! OMG He is the master crafter!

Yeah.







Totally left my 39 cooking in the dust too =/

Peeve: People who automaticly say "Gil seller" just because they don't like someone/something.

Pet peve: people who think I'm a gil seller because I spend so much time crafting and playing the AH.

Just because I'm clever enough to watch the "AH market" and try and anticipate rising and falling costs and synth high-yield, moderate priced synths in bulk doesn't mean I'm selling that newb my gear. Nor does camping the Al Zhabi cloth guild for crawler coccoons make me a gilseller. Its called Synthing For Profit. 870x2 < 2k. 2k x12 = 24k. Silk stack = 50k. You do the math.

The most ironic thing i've noticed is people calling people gilsellers.. on whatever it is they're doing at the time.

not really a pet peeve but why the hell do people /yawn after besieged?

my schedule flops randomly, so there will be weeks at a time where I am night scedule and can't get consistant parties because of it. That usually when I will save up for big purchases like my Nobles Tunic. During that time, I would harvest for hours upon hours upon hours, filling up my inventory three or four times over.

At one point, a little level 40 something camping torrent for five nights straight decided to call me a gilseller and even accused me of "hax" because I would jump on the harvesting spawn points so fast.

not really a pet peeve but why the hell do people /yawn after besieged?Too many people in the same place and not enough oxygen between them.

Too many people in the same place and not enough oxygen between them.

lmfao XD

not really a pet peeve but why the hell do people /yawn after besieged?
I only did it because someone complained about it, and I did it before it even started.

It's because it was too easy the first time it happened, and people complain about everything SE does or implements.

oh and the wtflag during besieged

and the random dc's that occur then too

Serpheroth, Seperoth, Seferoth, Siferoph, Setheroth, Seferoph, Xsepherothx, Xxsephirofxx, etc.

You know we were complaining about this in ls and have an unwritten rule to deny any app that has any variation of that name! LOL I also said that day that I was slightly surprised that I had not seen a Sefirothsan or Sefiriothkun in game yet. Two weeks later, lo and behold, Sefirothkun.....my mouth hit the floor.

If you're feeling particularly masochistic some night, log on friday night at the end of NA peak, just before JP peak and /sea all Se to see how bad it is now...

People who tell me how to do my job despite having no experience playing my job or even job type (think a mage belittling a melee because they think they know it all)

People who respond to my /t's for party invitation 2 hours AFTER I sent it (has actually happened). Added points if they get pissed off at me.

People who /shout <Yawn> during Beseiged cutscenes. If it's so boring to you, then get out.

Melees who bitch'n moan about LFG for hours, yet refuse to make (or at least attempt to make) their own parties. If you don't wanna do some work, then shut up and play a mage or tank.

Shouts all in japanes characters (or any other language I don't know) that are 6 lines long, spammed every 5 seconds. If it's so dang important to you, try using the Auto Translator so more people can help you.

The fact that I haven't installed it yet? :P

The fact that I haven't installed it yet? :PI bet that is annoying.

but alot of the things you guys mention happen in every MMO. :)

Look at WoW, and all the Night-Elf Legolas, leeeggolaz, lagolaz etc :)

or priest telling warriors how to play. :)

People assuming because you are farming tradeskill mats that you are a "china farmer" (wow's version of gil sellers).. etc

As soon as this house buying venture is complete, I'll have it installed. :D

Because the auto-translator can say ANYTHINGZ... come on, that's silly, there's some things you just can't say through at, no matter what language you speak. Not to mention AT still leaves Spanish/French/German/Italian and others in the dark, if they don't understand their client's version..

“Shouts that are 6 lines long, spammed every 5 seconds.”

-Fixed.

I agree with pretty much everything said here so far my other peeves are:

1 People setting up pts then asking me to be leader when there are no other flags up in the area then bitching at me because its taking too long to get started.

2 I have no objection to beinf /checked but when someone does it 15 times in a row? I mean what do you think I have boudht in the last 10 seconds in the middle of nowhere that I have now got eqpt

3 And to that one individual who should be erased fromthe gene pool who called me a gilbuyer for having Boreas Cestus as my wpn. Its rare/ex you idiot

People that take the game too seriously, and seem to be extremely secluded individuals, pissed off at anyone making the slightest mistake, attempting to take on a "whatever!" attitude, yet craving attention in the little hole they've dug for themselves.

Party leaders who send me a tnl? / tell while I'm seeking and then never contact me again.

......must.....control..........fist of.......death.... O.<

Speaking of auto-translating, people who only auto-translate two words out of an entire shout.

/sh Something something something (Warrior) something something something (Mission)
/sh (Excuse me...) yadda yadda yadda

WTF good is that doing anybody?

That and people who type out AT phrases without using the AT.

/sh tele-dem do you have it can i have it please invite me

People who shout for raises in newbie zones (Gustaberg, Ronfaure, Sarutabaruta) for their level 5 BLM. Just respawn, bitches!

Level 1 characters with a powerlevel. Hell, you step outside and kill three bees or rabbits or whatever and ding level 2. You don't need someone hovering over you with a PL unless you are functionally retarded.

People who hold conversations in any zone via the /shout channel. Like, some guy shouts for something, and then someone (or multiple someones) is like "Hey, [guy], what's up? Lolz." and then they proceed to have this whole private conversation that the entire zone can hear. Tells exist for a reason! Or "Hey [Guy] where are you?" as they are trying to get their party together.

People who join the group and then ask where camp is, instead of looking at the map to see where everyone is at. And then continue to ask where camp is over and over again, because the idea that maps exist for this game is somehow foreign to them (and yeah, I know that sometimes folks don't have the map, but they can still tell what freakin' direction we're in).

I'm sure I'll think of more. This is just the result of a few days of low level partying.

Just respawn, bitches!

This is my new motto. When somebody at work asks me anything at all, I'll reply with this.

"Hey Danny, did you set up that test with TXDoT for those 30"s ?"

"Just respawn, bitch."

"?"

Mine are these....

1) People who keep telling me my level is too lowe to go there 0r do that.
2) People who keep bugging you with invites when you have already declined.
3) leaders who agree thats its ok that I malee and then after I join the party tell me I'm the main healer(don't get me wrong I don't mind healing just don't tell me I'll be doing one job then try to pull a switcharoo on me):vent:

People who shout for raises in newbie zones (Gustaberg, Ronfaure, Sarutabaruta) for their level 5 BLM. Just respawn, bitches!Now ... in most circumstances I would agree with you, but there are certain occasions ... like the poor sucker who just remembered the last place he set his home point was the outpost in Altepa. :biggrin:

I'm more specifically referring to people with no sub who are level 5, and couldn't possibly have their HP set in Altepa.

Ok Im feeling some annoyance from last night's party and they just happend to hit most my pet peeves

1.Whms who don't heal me till im down to 200-300 hp then spam cure IV then take hate.

2.Whms who use holy just to kill the enemy when it has 10 hp left

3.Whms who cant heal you when your out of hp, and the smn has to toss in a couple cure IIIs

4.Monks who spam raging fists before the second voke (comon when you do more that 200 damage on your gonna pull hate and theres really nothing i can do)

5.Melee who toss up ever buff they possibly can as fast as they can when they dont even need them (ie monks tossing up conterstance, and dodge first thing in the battle on top of berserk+focus+boost)

6.The fact the drk is coming from jueno to the galiage citadel, and theres a war/nin thats standing right next to your party, and the party is so impatient, "Hey lets get the war/nin", after theyve already tlaked to the drk.

7.Melee who cant hit the broad side of a barn. (ie I was out tping them, when they were both 50, and i was 49.)

8.About 2 minutes after i dinged 50 i got my first raise request.

9.when you most the time outdamage the war's raging axes (ie most the time seraph was doing 100-120, the raging axes went from 50-110, though one time for 150)

10.Blms who cant stand still when your trying to cover them, right after AM

11..Blms who say, "No axes much better than Gaxe".

12. for the final battle of the night you toss up your 2-hour, and berserk just for the heck of it, and with you new sword your doing just as much base damage a the other melee (30-40 a reqular hit)


Here are my only other ones outside that party.

13.Rdms who say, you dont get refresh because you have auto-refresh.

14.Rdms who seem like they would much drather refresh the melee than you (cmon when you have 3 people to refresh me, the whm, and you. STOP BEING SO LAZY AND LEAVING ME OUT OF THE CYCLE!)

And the worst part is those have been almost every rdm since level 41 ><

Anywho thats my little addition

1) People who expect my RDM to main heal and keep 4-6 people refreshed at the same time.
2) People who don't tell me my RDM will be main heal until I get to camp and they ask why I have BLM sub.
3) -NOTE: I KNOW THIS CAN'T BE HELPED BUT IT STILL DRIVES ME NUTS- Trying to heal a melee who is constantly changing out equip. I know you have to change out equip (sometimes a lot), but it's still annoying as hell to have my targeting cancelled.
4) People that can't/won't/don't listen to directions. "Don't melee that, you'll give it TP." >>Jelly readies Fluid Toss<< "..."
5) Party invite tells while I'm a) in a pt, b) the leader of a pt, c) /anon. Just because you checked me as I ran by in WHM AF and saw me with 75 gear does not give you the right to ignore my /anon.
6) Raise/Tele requests while I'm in a pt in an exp area.
7) Raise/Tele requests while I'm /anon (see #5)
8) Raise/Tele/EXP pt requests when I have something like {Experience Points} {No Thanks} in my search comment. You clicked on my name. You saw the comment. Don't be an idiot.
9) (Already mentioned but worth repeating) Melee that stacks abilities that send HP shooting from full to 1/4 in 2 seconds flat. It's easier and more MP efficient to let you die and Raise you than try to heal you. I don't care how much "leet" damage you can do, next time you're eating sand/grass/mud/snow/dirt/rabbit droppings.

All I can think of at the moment :)

Ah, right. That reminds me.

- People who want me to sub whm when main heal against mobs with no status effects or AoEs to speak of because "it makes your cures better." No it doesn't. It does however make them cost 10% more on average than if I was subbing blm. Don't ask me to gimp myself and then call me gimp when I refuse.

People who undercut for no reason other than impatience. Even on items that are selling very swiftly at their current price, some idiots feel that getting rid of a few items RIGHT NOW is worth undercutting by 50% or more.

/fume

In no particular order...

Pets at the Al Zhabi AH... if pets are there, I can't always hit F8 to target the AH person unless I get close...
Going into my Moghouse in my hometown, waiting a few seconds, then realizing I need to talk to the person to move my moogle.
Casinos; that goes double for casinos that shout.
LS members who keep asking for stuff


Oh and also, when I can't find the droids I'm looking for.

Request to move this to the main forum Since I noticed it is mostly non-seraph people replying.

It may get more attention there, thanks!

pet peeve: Music files in ToAU zones. Because of the way these files are compiled they seriously LAG the game to a noticable degree even if you are alone!

Edit* How did I get negative gil and negative reputation? :rofl:

I'm sorry if I offended anyone by donating my gil? o.O

Sorry, when I need space, or I don't have much time, i'll put my items up for however much I feel like. Right now, I think I have Kampf pants on AH for 100k off their normal price. I have COR dice up at half price. I want my crap to sell, so I can keep moving mah wares.

If you don't like that, you're perfectly welcome to buy my stuff off me for full price.

The most ironic thing i've noticed is people calling people gilsellers.. on whatever it is they're doing at the time.

Recently, my girlfriend and I needed to level our cooking. The next craft was Roast Mushrooms. For whatever reason, Sleepshrooms had double to 20k a stack. So in order to skillup we would need to spend a total of 320k for the stacks of sleepshrooms needed.

So rather than throw my money away. I took out my old Main 60Thf/30Nin and went to Gelshba (sp) to slaughter, I mean farm off of the Shrooms there. One Cyclone later and I had a stack+ of shrooms. 5 minutes later. Rinse and repeat.

Some level 56 Dark Knight comes along, guessing he wanted to farm them as well, see me and and my girl killing off the shrooms and proceeds to call us RMT.

So since when did supporting my craft make me RMT?

He's a newb. I could call you a fucking retard, yet that statement has no bearing at all. You need more evidence than someone killing shrooms to have the right to call someone an RMT, such as a 3rd party claim system, travel hack, a real money transaction in /say, etc.

If you're selling a piece of equipment then whatever. But yesterday Nebimonite were selling for a steady 33-35k and had been for days. Then somebody put armfuls of squid up for less than 20k. The price eventually recovered, but sometimes it doesn't. Awhile back Dorado sushi was selling for 65k a stack, steadily for days, when somebody decided it should be 50k instead and the price stayed there. Now it's 40k. So this level 92 synth that requires a 30k GP item to make is now a mere 100k and hour instead of close to 300k. Why? Somebody just doesn't like making money, I guess. :vent:

Ugh, that drives me batty too. I see it with silent oils all the time. Yeah, I know everyone hates paying for them, but the margin is thin enough to begin with. Those ingredients cost a lot, dangit! (time or money).

Uhhg, i Hate when people do that, when i bought my Kampf set it cost me 700k, when i sold it, welll i got 400k

Well, I'm in the TFB camp when it comes to undercutting. The way of the world is to make money and if someone farms all the ingredients and puts it up for 1/2 of what I do, then more power to him. If I'm no longer going to make money buy selling that item for the price I can make a decent profit at, TFB for me. There will always be competition and people trying to take my business away, its just like real life. I can either sit around and whine about it or I can get off my butt and figure something out. Ya change sucks, but it happens and you either learn to go with the flow or you can sit on the sidelines.

I always tell people who want to craft for a living, that you need to diversify. The market jumps around a lot. I haven't touched my main craft (alchemy) for profit in weeks, because it's just not there, but Clothcraft has been good to me lately. :)

When I enter a product market, I think of it like being in a party. You're all there to earn as much as you can, and each person has as much opportunity to screw the the others as the next. If you do something crazy and tank the market, you just screwed a whole bunch of people out of time and effort that should have been fruitful. There's no rule against doing it, but it's professional courtesy not to do so just the same as it's professional courtesy not to wipe a party that isn't performing as well as you want. Everyone reaches their goals faster if we all play the game properly, in this case the price game.

And yes, it's good business to diversify and track multiple markets and whatnot to minimize your losses, but just because sh*t happens doesn't mean it should when it's entirely avoidable.

1) People who turn farming normal, every day, 5 minute respawning mobs into a claiming competition. You see me charge SA, stand behind the mob and draw my weapon, do you really need to spam voke on it just before I hit?

Usually when I encounter that, I return the favor one or two times then find somewhere else to go. It's very counter productive to fight over the claim on some crap ass leech.

2) Sushi eaters in the dunes/qufim/jungles/pre 40 lvls. Just because you missed the mob once doesn't not mean you have crap Acc. And seeing as you're doing single digit dmg, it's better to up your att then waste food on something that's a placebo at best.

And the corollary to this:

Over hunting. I don't care if that one mob gave us 200 exp, it took 5 minutes to kill it. I should NOT be able to use Warcry twice in one fight. Low IT - VT mobs only plz.

3) Pts that don't listen to what's best for them. There's three IT mobs chewin your tanks face apart, when you're told to zone, you zone. Don't stand there looking like a tool with a thumb up your ass, run you dolt run.

4) /nin onry people. Seriously, /nin is NOT the end all be all of subs. Every time I see a /nin in the dunes, it makes me want to stab someone in the spleen >=(


As for the undercutting thing. I do that, a lot. When I put my items up for sale, I want them to sell. 1-2k can be the difference between making a fast easy profit, or sitting on a stack of crappy items for 2 weeks. Sure I'd like to sell it for as much as possible, but I'd rather get rid of it asap so I can sell a brand new item in it's place.

When one item starts selling for a lot of cash, people will notice and attempt to flood the market with that item. Doing that causes that market to dive and others to rise. That's the way things work, just gotta keep an eye on the fluxes and hope everything works out fine.

3) Pts that don't listen to what's best for them. There's three IT mobs chewin your tanks face apart, when you're told to zone, you zone. Don't stand there looking like a tool with a thumb up your ass, run you dolt run.
Equally annoying is the one wuss who screams zone and dashes off at the first sign of trouble, no matter how well the party has handled every other link it's been presented with. We slept the last five until we were ready to deal with them, we're going to sleep this one, too.

lets see mine are

1. Job bashers
2. the {Yawn}ing in besiged - don't like it don't come
3. AFKers in Al Zahbi
4. People who constantly show up in Al Zahbi and ask for warp/tele/when is this besiged over, during besiged - either die and HP, don't show up, ot take the long way around through the woodlands/thickets.

Oh I thought of one! This happened to me yesterday and it reminded me of how much I dislike it!

13) Do not run away when you have hate! And when the pt tells you not to run don't say "I was kiting the sucker!" because kiting does not involve running in a straight line to the zone!!!

People who complain about every little thing they come across.

:p

I don't see that as much as the other, hence why it's not a pet peeve.

In my last PT I was in KRT right by the exit to the low lvl area killing bats. Pt was War/nin(Me), Rng/nin, Pld, Smn, Rdm, Brd. Kills were SLOOOOOOOOOOW and the mobs were way too high for the DDs, but the support team was more then enough to keep everyone alive. But because the Rng had to go deep into the tunnel to pull we'd often get links that popped after she attacked her target. So while the Pld would voke and tank one, I'd voke the other and go back to meleeing the first bat while the Brd+Rdm tried sleeping it.

With all that refresh goin 'round we did pretty well, where the only death happened from when the Pld went AFK mid fight. A fully gear DD war fighting things way too high to be fighting won't last long as a tank down there O.<

:p

Note the title of the thread Mhurron, it is a thread to complain. No one makes you read it so if it is offensive to you, don't. Some of us find it humorous or theraputic to get these little annoyances off our chests.

http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=21965&stc=1
No need for sniping!

OH! Speaking of my last pt

5) Exp pts where the mages are two+ lvls higher then the highest melees. In an Exp pt the tank and DDs should be higher in lvls as they're the ones going directly against the mobs. When the mages are the highest lvls, it makes it harder to get good exp because the mages struggle more to kill higher stuff so everyone gets a decent exp/kill rate.

They were all good players mind you, just the set up was a bit wonky =/

People who claim NMS and dont even know what thier drops are when I've been camping them for days for a little Rare/exc pointy sword >_>

And people who claim posts/threads.. what's up with that?

Post 100 claimed!

Edit* Too slow ;_; page claim? :thumbsup:

You might need to double check your humour detector. I also already summed up the whole thread on page 1.

I'm not a fan of the page claiming. That's a holdover from Alla (started by WarMav), that I really think we should leave at Alla.

Haha was just trying to be ironic XD

New one: Parties that invite you to tank as a level 9 taru ninja in the dunes!

You might need to double check your humour detector. I also already summed up the whole thread on page 1.

No my "humor dectector" is just fine thank you. Just because its different from yours doesn't mean that there is something wrong with it.


Which reminds me:

14) People who get annoyed if you are having fun in the pt. I'm not talking about fun at the expense of doing your job well either, I'm just talking about friendly banter and such when you have time for it. You'll get somone that goes {Focus}! on occasion just for having a chat with someone. If the pt is running smoothly, the exp is flowing, and all is well in Vana'diel, there is nothing wrong with talking to your fellow pt members.

6: Kinda a peeve (but a chuckle too).

Mage types that run into melee distance when I'm trying to SATA onto the tank. Especially at the start of a fight.

A high damage SATA will cause enough hate at the start of the fight to kill you. No really... Mages are squishy. Really really squishy.

It is however vastly hilarious when it happens and they run away... and the mob chases them off.

Barfira, Earthen Ward, Aerial Armour is all nice and shiny - but not in front of the Thief. At least if you don't want the ire of a really ticked off monster.

I'm so with you on this one. Sometimes the only thing keeping me sane in an exp grind party is some fun and friendly banter. Most of the time no one gets my sense of humor though, so we all end up sitting quietly except for SC announcements.

Orz.

Things that piss me off.
#1 Leaders who don't listen to stratedy ideas then blame me when the team fails at the mission. (This happened to me just the other day in Holla prom, I then got my own team that listened and we won back to back proms. But seriously, leaders who only listen to themselves and don't really know what they are doing just piss me off when the get all pissy when the imminent failure happerns due to crappers strategy.

#2 Players who decide to pick on you in a experience party just because your the only non-ls member in the team, so a team up ensues, and im forced to ruin the party by D2ing people. (This happened once, but trust me, they deserved it)

#3 Black Mages the D2 people in the team, thus ruining the parts over something extremely small and overlookable. (It was the leader that did the warping too, big dissapoint, guy wasnt being picked on, teamed up on, name called, or any thing that piled up can should lead to D2age, and even if a blm gets picked on, unless it the entire team being very mean for no reason, D2 should not be used in this way) I felt bad when I did it once but I declare that ls was a bunch of shmoes I don't see around anymore.

#4 Crass and rude language in the game. It's really uneccesary to trash someone cuz they are newer then you and know less about the game mechanics, help a guy out, but kindly please.

#5 low lvl elitists that treat anybody like garbage just cuz they invited you and/or have a missconception of leading a party of any kind.

Things that annoy me

#1 peeps that think you checking them is some kind of crime, the way they act when you check them out. Especially in the field when camping or whatever.

#2 peeps that are rude to you when you come to camp what they are camping, really, I pay the fees too, we can all play the same game. Im happy to move on actually. There are many other things to do in the game, if someone is already there I don't see any problem moving along to somehting else, the rudeness is uneccesary. Especially over petty shit like elementals, I mean , really.

#3 dynamis leaders that horde the currency, c'mon, share some with the rest of us, I know that stuff is expensive, atleast show or tell me what your making. I'd be happy to share in on the cost of a run to get some currency without it coming down to paying Bazaar price, which is out of the question.

#4 Lame lotting rules for HNMLS that make it so you got to wait months of "point" gathering till you can finally lot anything while most of the group has some kind of monopoly on points. Or ones where only certain mages can lot certain Z gear.

#5 Purposefully assholish leaders and everybody taking it. Helloooo, <revolt>

#6 peeps that don't have the balls just to say, "I gotta go, I have stuff to do", and opt to DC themselves. Now i cant prove that anyone ever DCs just to avoid saying "I gotta go", but it just seems that way sometimes. I could easily be wrong about this, I just bet thats what many of those stragely timed DCs have been about over the years of playing.

#7 Finagaling mercenaries

#8 Low maturity lvls, nuff said.

I could go on with this for a little bit longer, but I think I have said enouph about my negative experiences in playing. Throughout all of my playing hours, the negative ones make up about .01% off all the experiences I have ever had in game.

I could go on forever about the awesome experiences, great people met, Kick ass leaders and LS's that Ive been alligned with and what not. Let along the great feeling of getting an AF2 of any Uber gear. Lets not forget how good it is to take down a huge mob solo, or finding a great xp party that rakes it in with everyone getting along like cake. Lets not forget those nice peeps that actually take time just to help people that are lower in the game to give them a much needed boost, or anyone at all that takes time to do stuff that is not in anyway about self gain. Also the LS's that are "friend" based, this actually exists cause people are cool and you can make friends out of people you never really see, I've found.

Well, enouph outta me!

The things that piss me off are many and i have only really started palying three weeks ago x.x

1.) The change in prices at the auction house. Up and down >< just gets me angry!

2.) people who don't even know what the job their job is supposed to do! Like a Paladin that thinks he is a DD/Support class.... That was a bad party >>

3.) People who are as big as noobs as me or bigger but put up mentor right when they hit 30.

To lazy to list more but you can see where im going.

1) People who have seek flag up while afk. For hours.

2) Missing armor/spells/food etc. No one is gonna boot you out of the party for not having +1 gear... but at least wear SOMETHING and keep your spells updated..

3) People who take literally HOURS to finally start doing something that was planned.

There's more but those are my basic ones.

People who complain about every little thing they come across.

Ooh ooh I got one!

People who complain about people who complain! :thumbsup:

But seriously:

1) Nobody plays tanks anymore. We can have an entire party built, and a good one to boot, but we have to sit for ninety minutes while we wait for a tank to seek, or find one willing to party without seek up, or willing to leave a crappy party.

2) <call>

-sam

1) People who have seek flag up while afk. For hours.

You've never played a Thf then.

My personal record has been five days with flag up without a single tell. Of course - sometimes I get invites while I'll be camping NM's or farming.. but that's just the way things work. Raised flag for Thf = {Invite to join party} {secret} -1. ><

And I just remembered another one:

Slapping/stupid emotes. For no reason. If you're going to emote slapping someone for no reason at all, don't /cry when someone /slaps back. That just makes you look stupid.

Also.. don't emote sexual things... had a party in the dunes where the mithra was emoting /snuggles up to you.
/gives you a kiss.
/smiles sexily at you.
Every. Battle. Seriously. Do you WANT sexual harrassment from the teenage boys who play?

And I just remembered another one:

Unless you know for a fact this person is emotionally fragile, I'd hold off on slinging the word 'stupid' around.

I think maybe you missed something.

Yes, I have played THF. I'm talking about when someone puts up their seek flag, and wanders away from the computer/PS2/XBOX for hours doing everything else while you're trying to invite them for a party. If you're not gonna be around to play, turn off your flag. I understand falling asleep accidentally, but if you're gonna be falling asleep, turn off FFXI and go to bed.

/Rant

1) people complaining about a r1 when i'm a rdm and i'm the only mage in the pty or thew only other one in the pty is a blm.

2) peple that think Ninja is the l33t tank. GERT IT THERW YOUR HEADS. Se stated that Ninja was never ever ment to be a tank. why do you htink they keep nerfing it and make it hard to hold hate.

3) when i'm on smn the rdm bitches that i'm subbing blm and should sub whm so he can melee and i main heal. I sub what i want its not your job to tell me what i sub which brings me too #4

4) Never ask me for a certain spell when i'm casting it on someone else or another one. you ask for anything i'll warn you not to ask me. You do it again i don't care if your the tank I'll not heal you Don't tell me how to do my job.

5) War/whms i belive that speaks for its self.

6) Maat. Again this speaks for it self

7) People that camp nms just because they need gil and you trying to help someone that needs the item and have teh nerve to tell you to go farm the gill. You are camping it for gill and you have to nerve to tell me to go farm. We need it you just want gil You go farm.

8) while on whm people ask me to leave my pty to join their pty.

9) poeple ask me to r3 them when i'm only lvl 66. Its a lvl 70 spell smart ones.

/End rant

Well, as much as I'm a PLD fan, I have to say that NIN has proven to be a very viable and useful tanking class, regardless of original intent. I think it's time to let go of the "we didn't mean it to be a tank" thing.

And people camping an NM for gil have just as much right to be there as someone who just wants the item. That's how things work. Either you beat them to the claim, or you save up enough gil to buy the item. Maybe not an ideal system, but that's the game we're playing.

Well we did beat that ass to teh claim and got teh drop for her.. Oh and one mroe thing that makes me mad to no end.
noob: please teleport me i'll give you gilz....
me: I'm in a pty. i'm not subbing blm. i have my dynamis invite only or i'm in the middle of a besgied. I think i'm too busy to come 1/2 across the world to teleport you for 5k.

As someone getting ready to be new to the game, i sure hope you aren't so rude in game. Not all new people are rude and/or impatient or impractical.

Heck, i'm getting ready to go into the game knowing next to nothing, about locations or anything, so someone like me might ask, not knowing how far away things are.. I would hope you are somewhat patient.

i'm a nice kitty in game and i love to help out lowbies. in fact i just spent my entier day instead of lvling my 66 whm like plans my friend started playing today so i changed to my lvl 1 cor and spent all day lvling with her. got up to lvl 10. heck i even give some people 1k to help start em off if they don't beg me for gil.

Most people are more than happy to answer questions. Certain others will just ignore you, and then there are those who will insult you and call you a noob. Just ignore those folks.

I'm used to being called names. I just read her post out of context I guess. :) It happens, and she has offered to help if i find my way to unicorn(I still have no idea where we are going to play). :P I just sit here and re-read my little book that came in the box, waiting for the day that this house thing is finished so i can install and play. :D :D :D

You so have my vote for coolest new player of June. :thumbsup:

A lot of people vent on forums because they don't do it in-game. I know that's the case with me. :) Don't sweat it.

Being forced to interact and communicate with people, whom you would otherwise have nothing to do with.
Said people having considerably more power in the community than you, despite having marginal skill and significant personality defects.

Ya we tend to vent our frustartiosn here on teh forums rahter in the game. the years of stress cased by people that don't want help can really add up. then again taht is what [Gm] Dave's blog is for

1) >_> or <_<

I honestly believe this is one of the most annoying kaomoji (Face symbols) there is ---===***When used for EVERYTHING***===--- (I don't mind it once or twice when it's deserved)

Example!

PlayerA- Why aren't you wearing X?
Me - I don't own X
PlayerA- >_> ...

PlayerA- I like pie
Me - I prefer Ice cream
PlayerA- >_> ...

PlayerA- 2+2 = 5
Me - Only for very large quantities of 2
PlayerA- >_> ...

I mean honestly.... I can understand >_< , but how do you get the one eye to go the other way...? It looks painful. Anyway, if I make a terrible pun, yeah okay, fine. It's just like using lol at the end of a sentence though (also a pet peeve). I'm annoying you that much?

2) Every time I have a status effect that doesn't let me rest (PLD), the status effect waits until the exact moment I request the status cure to wear off. Then the mage casts the cure, it says it has no effect, and I look like a big jerk who can't read his status bar :(

3) People who use the excuse, often with lols at one or both ends of the sentence, "It's only a game lols," as a defense for absolute stupid behaviour.

I'm not speaking of "Chill out man, it's only a game" if I lose claim on an NM or fail a mission or something, and I'm furious. That's all good, it's a game, we can try whatever we're doing again later, good try everybody! If you're a new player, didn't know any better, that's fine also, it happens, it's really no biggie.

But when people just do stupid stuff like run straight into an enemy ON PURPOSE, use benediction at full HP between fights because 'they're bored...' , You know, that kind of thing, and then defend themselves with 'lol y so mad, its only a game.' Yes it is only a game, but you're costing your party valuable resources like time and overall effectiveness, things people desire to use wisely.

4) Silence. I'm sure almost everybody's experienced it.

'Hey guys, where do ya wanna go camp?'
-Silence-

'Hey, anyone in the LS wanna EXP?'
'Sure! Need a PLD?'
-Silence-
*A short time later*
'So, were we gonna go Exp then?"
'Oh yeah totally!'
'Where?'
-........-

'There's none of X job seeking, but there's a Y job looking for group. What do you all think?'
-Nothing-

Oftentimes, then the person asking the questions says something like 'Okay, we'll camp at X place' , or 'Okay, I invited that person' , and THEN the deluge of 'I hate that place' 'I don't want that job' starts... Oi.

5) People who think Paladins can't do anything right.

I know there're Paladin lovers out there, and for that, I thank you. It gets tiring though, being passed up for missions (ninjas tank it better/PLD can't tank it!), getting few invites for ToAU areas, because you don't need tanks there...

Just the other day, I was asked (74 PLD) to help tank the Sandoria Mission on Horlais Peak with the orcs and the warmachines. Almost immediately after I agree, he says "Well, I want to invite you because you're a PLD, but my party unanimously wants a Ninja, so I'm outnumbered, sorry."

A week or so ago, I was skilling up Greatsword on Lesser Colibri just outside in Wajoam Woodlands, packing my Joyeuse, Tatami Shield, and Herc Ring for when I need to finally take it down, when a mage runs up to me, starts curing me, and /tells me "Why did you attack it?!?!? It's much too strong for you!" ... I actually felt like using >_> for a second there (Oi!) , but I explained to him instead that I soloed Colibri for the last 6000 exp to level to 74. I don't think he believed me.

Also just the other day, I learned my RL friend was doing an Assault. I said 'got any room for me?' , to which he replied "Are you a Monk or a BLM?" ... He KNOWs I'm neither (We KNOW each other!)... come on, It's not like I'm trying to poison your whole attempt here :(

6) Inviting me into the party, then making me leader and going AFK (The non-emergency kind of AFK).

I'm sorry, I don't want to be the leader, that's why I had my seek flag up.

7) People who create a party, then say something to the effect of "Okay, I'll be right back, I just have to drive over to Party-Member-B's house, to which Party-Member-B goes "Yeah, shouldn't take more than 10-20 minutes, tops." , then sure enough, he logs out, and we're waiting for 20 minutes for him to log on again.

Um? ... Why do you... when you were logged on right... huh?! This is NOT an isolated one-time only thing either! It's happened a few times to my memory.


This is getting too big, I'll cut it off here. Sorry for the big wall of post here ^^

I always took it mean either rolling your eyes, or I've used it in sequence of:
>.>
<.<
Like I'm looking both ways because I just said or did something really stupid and want to see if anyone else noticed.

I tend to speak in complete thoughts, and I rarely use acronyms. Now, this is not leading where you think, what really bothers me in any MMO is people who say things along the lines of, "L0Lz U r sch a n00b!!1!1 y dun u spk n shrt wrds?11?"

It isn't that they are using l337, or d00d speak that bothers me. It bothers me that they expect me to degenerate my language to the point that I am speaking a modified version of Ape.
Vowels, consonants and punctuation were all created for a reason. I choose to use them, you do not. That is fine and dandy, but I don't nit-pick your poor grammar or syntax. Leave my proper grammar and syntax alone.

Oh my god, yes.

"Why do u talk lik that? R u a teacher lol"

It makes me crazy. I mean, maybe I silently seethe as those around me butcher the English language, but I don't say anything to them about it. Stop poking fun at me because I type in proper sentences and actually bother to use capitalization!

Definately my biggest is underleveled subjobs (That are very important to the job) one prime example that I saw today was Blm72/Whm28.

Hmmm... general stupidity, stubburness and hard-headed-ness bugs me alot.

Level whores. real story.
As*hat Guy: "Look, Kitty! It took you a year to level your nin now I'm 15 levels higher than you in 3 months!"

Me: "Did your daddy teach you that? Or was it your boyfriend?"

People who can't stop for a moment and go explore Vana'diel. Thats what all those artists and deseigners worked on! Let's go out and enjoy it. Yes I'd rather go relax and craft in Sanctuary of Zi'Tah than level with idiots for 5 hours on end.
Craft? In the Sanctuary? Yeeeeees. Its pretty with nice music!
They made this huge, full and lively world for us to breathe life into, quit your whining about peeves and idiots (cause they just aren't going away, y'know!) and go enjoy the view, go snag some ladies and go to the hot springs, h*ll, tell your whole ls!

Or if you are feeling REALLY lively go outside... real LIFE outside! Sunlight might do you some good!
And no, I'm not saying all you are overwieght pale teens in their parents basement, but you can NEVER have too much excercise and sunlight!

But Kitty, you have to understand that for some people grinding away IS fun. Even I have my days where I just want to go out there for 5 hours and exp, exp, exp! Other days, not so much! But it never gives anyone the right to think they are better than you just because they like the grind and get a higher lvl than you. Everyone is unique and that is why there are different things to do in game, something for everyone! Enjoy Vana'diel!

That's another pet peeve of mine! I wish the game manual for the X-Box 360 explained a few things better. They go into little detail of some of the more important points that you would need to start out intelligently in this game.

This is coming from a true "nooblet".

As a "nooblet" I haven't installed yet, and have read the manual no less than 5 times (It's my ffxi addiction without playing ;) )... This being said, i'm still very FFXI stupid. :)

Also, "exploration" is one of the things I'm most looking forward too when playing. I want to explore and do the quests that give me that "epic" story that SE delievers. :)

EDIT:

This will sound silly, but i hate over use of emoticons, but don't notice that I, myself, abuse emoticons. :o

Oh my god, yes.

Current pet peeve?

Replacement style parties, especially those that broke up 1-2 fights after the replacement has arrived (or 0 fights, like the one I had yesterday).

The tank went AFK without saying anything while waiting replacement, and did not show any sign of returning for over 15 minutes after the replacement had arrived.

Current peeve...

15) LS's that just can't get along with one another constantly smack talking to the point of taking silly crap to public forums. Start acting like adults, since most of us are or are close to it, and working together instead of against one another. I'm tired of the /t's from people calling me names because I'm in such and such LS and they did blah blah blah. There are 2 sides to every story people!

I doubt the 360 manual is any more vague about game play then the PC manual is. The PC manual tells you how to move around, bring up item and equipment screens, what button does what and simple stuff like that. It tells you nothing about how to play the game. However it doesn't tell you anything for a reason. You weren't supposed to be able to read the manual and know how to play, you were supposed to ask, interact with your fellow players. You were supposed to go into things not having a clue and learning as you go. You were supposed to take the role of a new adventurer going out into the world, and just like when you first go out into the world irl, you don't and can't do it intelligently.

The RTFM complaint is more to the 'OMGZ hows do i move' people the moment the zone in, or ask what to do with the coupon they get when they start. People that seem to be incapable of reading.

People keep saying this, have any of you actually been around 'adults' recently? This IS how a fair number act. Someone raised as a spoilt brat is going to be one until life comes along and hits them upside their head, it's not going to magically change after you hit 18 or finish college.

Ah yes thatrs why i do with my whm. I've been playing since the NA releash and my highest job is only a 66 whm and i still need ot kill maat :biggrin: i enjoy spening time talking and hanging out with my friends and exploring new areas and helping people do missions. Sometimes people try to guilt you into being a whm for them they are like phlzzzzzz we need a mage. and i'm like i told you know i'm in the middle ofd besgied right now. Its been a long time since i went on a seroius lvl gride but i do need to lvl up whm again.

Things that annoy me:

1. People that get testy over talking with others in /say. If I want to have a chat with my friend over his new Rabbit Charm he gallantly fought for and his plans for the future, I don't, in any way, have to switch to tells if I don't feel like it. It should be entirely possible to have a conversation anywhere in the game without upsetting the general populace, whether it be in English, Dutch, Japanese, Swahili, whatever.

2. People who get upset over checking. If you get so upset about it, turn the filter on. That's what it's there for. Beats me why SE felt the need to add check notices in the first place...

3. Stuck-up braggarts anger me beyond all comprehension. Just because others don't have all of the +1 gear in the world like *you* do doesn't mean they or their playing style suck.

4. If I'm not looking for a party and then you send me a tell asking to and I politely refuse, don't be surprised and don't act like a dick about it. It ain't my problem I'm the only so-and-so job on at the time, and I have things to do. Things that don't involve you.

You know what, I guess it's pretty much that people who take the game too seriously extremely annoy me. And I don't think I'll ever participate in an HNMLS because of the related drama.

People who expect the Dunes to be anything other than the Dunes and then get all bent out of shape when it doesn't magically change into a meccah of insight and professionalism.

I'm not going to quote anything specific, since it's been brought up a few times now, but on the subject of people who type things like "giv me ur gilz u got lotz..." I often wonder if it's the result of just not knowing how to type. The only person I know who used to type like this stopped when he learned touch-typing instead of hunt-and-peck. Conversely, I know someone who still hunts-and-pecks (oddly, without looking at the keyboard at all) after more than a decade online, but his spelling and grammar are impeccable. I can't see how dumbass abbreviations save any significant time or effort touch-typing, but I could see it with hunt-and-peck.

Ug.

I've checked a couple of times, and I may be totally blind, but I don't think it explains that /shout is a zonewide thing. "A wide area" could mean many things, to include half of Vana'diel. First time I got frustrated trying to understand the Auction House, and no one was standing near it in Bastok Markets, I used /shout to ask if anyone could help me understand and was immediately told by several players to "STFU n00b, don't shout your n00bness". Wasn't exactly a warm reception, and it certainly turned me off of asking people in game for help.

Hee hee, "Ug."

People who expect the Dunes to be anything other than the Dunes and then get all bent out of shape when it doesn't magically change into a meccah of insight and professionalism.


:rofl:
Sorry, that is all.

People who expect the Dunes to be anything other than the Dunes and then get all bent out of shape when it doesn't magically change into a meccah of insight and professionalism.

I'm right there with you on this. The dunes is the dunes. We all know what it is. I go into it expecting the worst, and often walk out pleasantly surprised. That said, I do hate it when people use "It's just the dunes" as an excuse to have piss-poor gear and behavior. Way to perpetuate the cycle, idiots! :worry:

- New players that ask for advice then expect you to hold their hand through the rest of the game. I love new players but when they ask how to do something and they're told, they should attempt it themselves instead of expecting everyone to drop what they're doing to do it for them.

- "I'm bored." This really ticks me off. There are hundreds of things to do in this game yet there's always people complaining about being bored. My Ramuh LS ended up like this a lot so I took it upon myself to create some fun events for everyone to just hang out and do together. Out of 30 people, only 6 showed up. During the event I worked hard to plan, those same people that complained about being bored were complaining about being bored without even attempting to join the six of us that went out to do the event.

- Gimps. Yes, underleveled subs bother me but there's a type of gimp that bothers me even more then that. The worst gimps, in my opinion, are those that will go 20-30 levels without updating some of their key pieces of gear to make them better. For example, I landed in a party a while back which had me as BLM and another BLM. I checked the other BLM to see if he had anything I might've missed in terms of equipment and I was shocked. Onyx Earrings, Windurst Ring and Shell Ring, Heki Obi+1, Brass Hairpin, Justice Badge and a Hermit's Wand. He did at least have the NQ of Seer's Gear on. I did a /sea for him a week or two later and he was closing in on level 70 while I was still stuck at level 42 because I deleveled because of his over-nuking.

- "Bio and Dia now stack as of 2 updates ago." This is something I have been hearing for over 2 years now and yet I still can't find the updates for. When I play a job, I do all the research I can on how to do it well. That includes rereading previous updates so I don't get surprised by some change SE cooked up. And every argument has it as "it happened 2 updates ago" but I shut them up by asking them to point me in the direction of the update since I can't seem to find it anywhere on the POL site.

- My husband. I swear, this man is going to drive me to drink if he keeps this up. First, he constantly asks me for advice on gear and weapons on Jobs I've never even touched before. When he hit level 50 MNK, he had the nerve to ask me which weapons would be best for him. This is just one small beef I have with him. There's also his farming luck. Every morning, I wake up and see him playing. Not a bad thing, gives me a chance to catch up on emails and such. But to wake up and hear "Hey hun. I killed 3 NMs this morning and got all their drops." every morning is enough to make me want to aggro my frying pan to his face. I'm lucky if I even get to see the name of an NM, let alone take one on.

Also.. don't emote sexual things... had a party in the dunes where the mithra was emoting /snuggles up to you.
/gives you a kiss.
/smiles sexily at you.
Every. Battle. Seriously. Do you WANT sexual harrassment from the teenage boys who play?

I'm catching up, and this may have already been mentioned, but.... that mithra probably IS a teenage boy!

Like I'm looking both ways because I just said or did something really stupid and want to see if anyone else noticed.

In addition, I've seen it used (and used it) as a way of implying "I wonder if I could murder you in your sleep and get away with it."

People who can't stop for a moment and go explore Vana'diel. Thats what all those artists and deseigners worked on! Let's go out and enjoy it. Yes I'd rather go relax and craft in Sanctuary of Zi'Tah than level with idiots for 5 hours on end.
Craft? In the Sanctuary? Yeeeeees. Its pretty with nice music!


YESSS!!!! Zi'tah must have one the best pieces of music in this game.

My in-game pet peeve: people who overuse the phrases "onry" and "ftw". I've seen some players in LS chat who like to throw those phrases out every other sentence. Seriously. Give me a break!

My forum pet peeve: poorly chosen thread titles. A title such as "I have a question" aren't helpful for determining what the thread is about. Instead, put the question itself in the thread title! Incomplete thread titles also drive me nuts. You know, it's those thread titles like, "Have you ever..." or "How do you get...". I want to be able to scan thread titles and figure out which threads interest me.

Pet peeves, eh?

First and foremost, people who want everything but don't want to do anything to get it. They want sky access, but they want YOU to get it for them, for example.

People who want to blitz CoP missions. Ugh. How many unprepared, backstabbing noobish jerks have I had to suffer on these. They want to fight the boss, but they're too chicken to face any other mob in the area. Yeah, rather than face the monsters, let's try to avoid the true sight mobs and link as many as possible in the process. SE doesn't put the monster there if it can't be beaten people, just f'n KILL IT... the BCNM will still be there, trust me.

People who just won't help with BCNMs - "I have no seals" yet they'll loiter about Jeuno all day. "Its not the one I want to do" but its the one I happen to NEED. People seem to get really, really selfish when it comes to BCNMs.

People who value their level/EXP - TAKE RAISE 1, please. Sitting and crying for R3 while Kirin, Tiamat or what have you is eating your friends is not gonna help the alliance get a win. Stop thinking of yourself and take one for the team, you pantywaist. Its not a RDM, PLD or BRD's fault you don't buffer EXP before a big fight.

Job elitiests - You make this game a miserable experience for those who want to have fun. All jobs have a purpose, all jobs have a role to play.

People who say "orz" and "onry" all the time. It wasn't funny last year, it wasn't funny in 2004, its not funny now. You're not funny and no one is laughing at, with or near you.

People who think pullers get mobs out of some magic box that never empties. The fact that we killed everything is GOOD, dammit. 7k an hour is VERY GOOD. Let me get a drink, take a whiz, and the mobs will respawn, and we'll get another several chains.

People who camp on top of you.

Then, complain about you pulling "their" mobs.

People who don't take the opportunity to go afk when everyone else does, instead waiting until they all get back.

People who don't realize that many jobs change drastically from one set of levels to another. Subs, equipment types, otherwise.

People who "won't invite you if..." Like I'm there to impress them. Oh, no, I don't have an Juggernaut. Get me one or shut up. Won't invite me? Like I live to pt with you? Get over yourself.

Subligar.

The fact I suck at fishing. Nobody's fault but my own.

People who don't know that by being in my hometown, I can get to the campsite (or anywhere) faster. Outposts, people. Outposts. Why am I coming to Jeuno, just to waste a warp cudgel charge? No thanks.

Windurst does not have an "h."

Someone already mentioned it, but "Craig." Craig is some guy. Where we are going is a "Crag."

A lot of things people already mentioned.

My forum pet peeve: poorly chosen thread titles. A title such as "I have a question" aren't helpful for determining what the thread is about. Instead, put the question itself in the thread title! Incomplete thread titles also drive me nuts. You know, it's those thread titles like, "Have you ever..." or "How do you get...". I want to be able to scan thread titles and figure out which threads interest me.

But you did answer my question Lyonheart, even though the title of my thread was "Another 'Newb' question." At least you aren't being so annoyed by it that you wouldn't help a "Newb".:thumbsup:

Ah yes I forgot that. Thank you.

7: People who use LS's as stepping stones to get them somewhere else. That truly ticks me off.

Funny how they're also the same people who usually don't have the initiative to get things done for themselves, but don't mind finding as many people as possible to use.

I've found this to be very true (regardless of MMO). I'm sometimes shocked at how bold some people are with the help requests, and then they move on as soon as they get what they want, and no one seems to realize that they just got used.

-Getting into a party, and just KNOWING that that party isn't going to go anywhere for the next 1 to 2 hours, but you really wanted to party, and hope you somehow pull through.... then it ends up exactly like your gut called it in the first place.

I think, common to most of these parties, the leader does things sloooooooowly (responding to comments, sending invites to a high-demand job that just popped on the search list, and so forth), and you were the first person he or she invited. Then the inevitable 'I can't find X job.' , and you just go aaaarrgh... but you don't want to be rude... so you wait... anyway, yeah, I'm sure everyone's had parties like that.

Here's one that's been popping up disturbingly often for myself

-Okay, someone's shouting for help with something. Through one way or another, they /tell you asking for help (nicely), and you agree. The peeve part hasn't come up yet. Then, you ask if anyone else is helping, as the party's pretty small. They say 'yeah, I have a group that wants to do this too, and we're going to alliance.'

Okay, here's the peeve part: So the to-be-allianced party comes and meets your party, and get allianced, the party leader
