Gaming pet peeves
Kins that Speed Boost you once then stop doing it afterwards...
People that join teams for long tasks then drop halfway in.
People that can't follow simple instructions.
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!

Canadians.

Anyways.
Utter and outright refusal to accept reality or the inability to listen.

Defenders who dont take powers from their primary but take every power in the medicine pool and all travel powers...
buffers who dont use buffs
debuffers who dont debuff
YMMV---IMO

People who want to join a Hami or Rikti MS Raid and come to find out they are a lvl 12 or something and you spend half your time tp'ing and rezzing them. Anything for a PL these days
@Celestial Lord and @Celestial Lord Too
I could make a list longer than my arm for this but I'll pare it down to just the following.
Egos.
Aware of the irony, but at least I'm aware of it and try to keep it under control. People with big egos lacking self awareness and all the behaviour that goes with it drive me nuts.

ha funny you should say this..
lvl 8 brute scorin some ez lvls at tonights raid..
shame shame.
1) People who pretend to MT on a daily basis.
2) Bubblers with no bubbles for other people. That's cool if you solo - to each their own; but then don't ask me to join our team if you have little or nothing to add to it.
3) People who use the word "irregardless".

Yes, CL I agree, if I were a team leader(usually not there in time to lead and I'm just not comfortable as a leader of a large task like that yet) I would chexk my teammates at the door. But yea annoying... and yes a lvl 8 at ba braid is a little ridiculous gp!!!

those who spam for "Invite me to your team" - <i>insisting I do so</i> - like as though I'm obligated to take complete strangers. Especially after 6 years of experience taught me that such players "insisting" you invite them tend to be slackers waiting at the mission door soaking XP.

Tight butts drive me nuts.
But on topic,
Blasters and scrappers that want to tank and then blame you for their dying.
Players who sprint ahead of the group and then blame the emp for not keeping them alive.
My inability to make mega damage dealing monsters that can solo/farm anything.
oh, and flat beer, Raiders fans and Yankees fans.

My MiniCity
1 Tanks that haven't learned to go with the flow and have to herd room to room. Gives Tanks a bad rep.
2 Kins who don't rotate SP, and players who go batass crazy if you SP them.
Quills and Demon Pets in WWs/BMs

and mods that close threads
People that give others guff for their archetype/powers before seeing how that player uses them
People that are inflexible, usually only playing one faction, one sort of character, and telling people how to play within their roles.
Rude people that insult, belittle, and/or berate fellow players with little to no instigation
Folks that won't wait for a team mate a little before starting missions or quit when a rough situation happens
People with no patience for new/confused players, even when the player is trying to contribute to the team
NPC mez that gives you no possibility of retaliation or escape if you lack a break free
So yeah I know this thread has potential for drama being people always have to take crap too seriously. Anyways I am going to take a long shot and try it anyways. Please keep names or specific events out of the thread.
My pet peeve is buffers who don't know how to combat buff and spam silly gather binds in team chat.
