  • How to Be Annoying

    I feel this is overdue. Excuse the language, but it brings out the colour in the following topic and is deemed necessary to express it.

    Traits of an annoying person:
    - Has the shittiest and most childish macros which are repeatively used over and over.

    Couple of examples:-

    Invisible macro on a party member

    /p I can't see you <t>.

    De-odour macro
    /p You smell bad <t>.

    or really shitty target macros which are used everytime someone popular is seen

    /l <t> <pos> (some worthless crap here like "eat? bite? suck?")

    the annoying part for this example is over use and un-neccessary use

    -Bragging to wrong people or in LS chat. Bragging about things you don't have rights to (having things spoon fed to you, total luck on your behalf, things you only played a part in.)

    Yes it's okay to be proud of things you have and telling your close friends who will be happy for you, absolutely fine. But "trying" to make people you don't know very well jealous of things you have, participated in, etc is wrong and really really annoying.

    Also, a group achievement should not be a brag. You only participated in it.

    When you win something big from an NM or BC and it's just cos of luck. Please be modest about it. Going off and saying "shit I'm so fuking lucky I got (sound amount here)" is not only bound to piss people off, you'll also sound like someone who has never got anything good before.

    Indirectly bragging is probably worse than the direct application.

    "I'm so good"
    "I'm just good"

    Above two phrases and phrases similar are a simply reflection of your intelligence. and that is simply and bluntly with one word "idiotic"

    -Saying too much about your personal life in-game.

    Okay, you can talk personally to people you know very well and maybe they would be okay to listen and care but if you keep saying personal shit in chats like /l /p with people who don't care, it's really annoying.

    I can say, people don't like to hear your personal life problems and they don't like to hear you real life. It's even worse when you try to IMPRESS people with your personal life. If you already don't realize, doing that you are trying to make people care or take interest in you. It's not only pathetic and an early stage of ADD, but it shows you don't have self-respect and self-confidence. (I keep my personal shit private and am confident enough to not care what others think).

    Yep you're in (a band)
    Yep your friend is (a rockstar)
    Yep you're rich

    Someone post that picture of the empty room.

    I can excuse stuff like, "afk for a moment, going to get something to eat" or "i'll be out with (friend) so will be offline for extended amount of time"

    -Random telling

    We probably all fucking know this one. Especially when you ask random to people to help you it's a real good way to piss people off. Unless you remotely know that person or have something to benefit them, don't do this.

    -Asking to Leech

    Much like random telling. Asking people you know far too often to help with stuff that is time-consuming and hard. Your closest friends will probably do you the favour a few times but eventually you'll push them off the cliff.

    "can you help me hunt (NM) but i keep the item?"

    End for now.

    SADDEST NOTE OF ALL
    I find some FCUKING STUPID JAPANESE ACTUALLY BUY THIS SHIT and say LOL!!!!!! or wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

    If there are any Japanese reading this post. Tell the person they are a FCKING TARD and don't laugh at them.

    How not to be a annoying person.
    -Modesty
    -Low-profile
    -Selective tells to certain people only

    Final Note:-
    If you are in this description, think about changing. This post is probably not going to stay online for very long. But for those who do come across it, keep the points in-mind. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND ONLY YOU HONESTLY KNOW YOURSELF.

    -this is not a self-righteous post. i, too, may have been a offender of the above points.
    -everyone has done something stupid before but as long as you recognize your mistakes and rectify it, it can be excused and forgotten. if you don't change then that makes you an even bigger moron.
    -maybe less annoying and more stupid: people who are Mentors to make themselves feel superior.

    (if this gets a sticky then LOL)

      Well ya, I mean some macros for certain spells can be inappropiate, but I don't see the harm in making a little catch phrase in some. Not all macros have to be "Provoking <t>". I can't remember who, but someone I knew had a macro "Come get some, <t>!" for their provoke, I didn't mind it at all.

      Its the "I'm guna **** you up <t>, you got no chance mother ****er" things i have a problem with.
      I plan to live forever.. so far so good.

          well yea those macros are stupid... some guy i pted with had "sorbo give me your strength!!" for his berserk macro. so it was ok.. once every five minutes, and it cracked me up because of his originality.

          adding <call> for every stupid thing they do.. that pisses me off. <call> tp@21 <call> tp@34 <call>tp@42 this is all the way to 100..

          pussies who are affraid to do anything.. had a whm who wouldnt move because he was scared in eldmine... LOL. a rng who was afraid to pull... ninjas who are afraid of tanking... they all act like its life or death irl.

            I hate annoying macros and sadly the vast majority of FFXI players have annoying macros. The unfortunate part is that they don’t think it’s annoying – they think it’s clever.

            My suggestion is that you don’t need to have a macro for every freaking job abilities you use. Nobody cares and you’re just spamming the chat log with useless nonsense. If you need to use a macro for timer countdown, for Provoke or whatever, just use /echo command (/echo command display text message that only you can see) instead of /party command. Also, please, please and please try to avoid using <call1>, <call2>, or <call3> unless it’s an emergency.

            Yes, I’d known monk who have stupid macros for every time they boost, but the most annoying macros I have encounter so far are:


            Various weapon skill macros. Make it simple peoples!

            A guy who has macros for every action he does, and he says it in /say mode! I don’t know him, but I was exp’ing next to him and ended up having to blacklist him because his macros were so annoying.

            Another guy who has his macro in /shout mode! I think he earned his way onto many peoples’ blacklist.

            A WHM with cure macro that would send /tells every time he cures! So every time he cures me, I would get a /tell from him “<his name> takes care of <my name>�. This was by far the most annoying macro I’d encounter, but he was a WHM and we were leveling in Qufim (and you know how hard it is to get a WHM in that horrid place) so I just suffered through it.

              I use my attack Macro to let people in my area know I'm fighting something that's mine.
              /say You feel tough enough <t>?

                A long time ago I saw some idiot who had:

                /say I'M BURRRRRRNNNIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!

                ...in his monk Boost macro. So I saw that shit every 15 seconds.

                          my voke macro is "Yo mama be teh <t>, <t>!" >.>; I dunno I like that one a lot and every now and then someone finds it funny...lol >.>

                          Usually I don't use my macroed voke however when my WAR is tanking, since I cycle boost/voke I jus keep my abilitiy menu open and hit them asap. You don't see that macro that often =p

                          "Guys, I just set my oven on fire by trying to cook ramen in it, and broke the fire alarm with a frying pan. I think I'm in trouble." - Brawny (2006)

                          "But Hisdon, why wouldn't you want The Unblockable Shield - wait a minute..." - Sasukekun (2005)
