You Can't Do That in World of Warcraft

Name the one pet peeve that that other players do in the game. My personal biggest annoyance is when other players jump in the way of my fishing bobber. lol

My pet peeve is players who tell others what they can or can’t do. #dontbeadictator

People that go all defensive when I politely point out or ask why they are doing something specific. Such as a monk that was hardcasting vivifies instead of surging the target for the instant casts during channel.

When I queue for something on LFG and the group leader neither accepts me or rejects me and I don’t know if they’re too lazy to hit the ā€œxā€ button or they just died. Just give me a freaking answer.

yeah I do that, can’t help it, just compelled to do it

This is funny. Because yesterday I was swimming from one island in Mechagon to another when I noticed that I was about to swim through a bobber, I stopped. I waited until the other player pulled thier bobber and proceeded.

i just take it as they don’t want me in thier party or are afk and move on.

I go for the ones listed recently to prevent that.

I’ve had the ā€˜you can’t keep that item because you’re not top DPS’ calm down bucko, I’m the second highest in Details and this is a PUG raid.

When people plop down feasts and tables under a mage portal in AV. Seriously, I’m trying to get the hell out of there. Please stop ruining my gameplay with your trash food.

People who stand around RP areas and spam/yell/disrupt. Go back to your meme servers.

I could probably write a book on my pet peeves, but I’ll just pick one.

The person who ignores combat to rush and loot items in a dungeon for a quest. They put enough for everyone to finish it, calm down.

That and People who are like ā€œyour either with us or against us. You can’t have your own opinions, theirs no middleground, any nuance, or anything in between.ā€ thing. I mean don’t you just love those kind of people while in an argument? It’s like PS fanboys vs Xbox fanboys, but somehow less fun. :roll_eyes:

Normally i don’t suggest you ignore people, but if their unwilling to listen to you cause your opinions doesn’t align with theirs, it would only be kind to return them the favor.

This forum isn’t big enough to cover all the things that peeve me off in this game.

It’s weird, because there’s always the chance there’s a totally logical explanation for this but: When I see another player just hovering over me and I’m killing a rare, or a quest mob or some other baddie and they will be there right from the start but they only join in at the very last 10%.

This is further aggravated by the fact that I mostly quest in tank specs (big pulls), so when it’s down to killing the single NPC, it often takes longer by myself. Had the hovering player joined in sooner, we would both have been done faster.

But there’s always the possibility they were just AFK. It’s just such a coincidence that it happens as often as it does.

When people constantly complain that the Alliance sucks at pvp… in group chat… while we’re losing another bg…

We are ALL PAINFULLY AWARE!

Rogues when I am trying to level my lowbies.

… ¬_¬ Ā­Ā­What? Not all my lowbies are rogues! And yes, I can turn Warmode off at any time. It’s mostly not a problem, most players around the same level as I are just trying to level up themselves and thus leave me alone, and I leave them alone. EXCEPT those dang rogues! They think themselves as PvP kings while they are not! I am looking at you, Rogue whom I almost killed when I ran out of HP (on my mage)!

When people ask for sums:
Johnnyhardcorex has joined the group.
Johnnyhardcorex: 1.

I can’t join factions other than what my race dictates I’m a part of. So, like, by the transitory property that means WoW is very racist, as what race you choose also chooses all your allegiances. Congratulations, try as you may you are in fact a walking stereotype!

Why do people release and run back in 5-mans, with a healer right there? Doubly annoying if I am the healer! Why do you assume I am not going to do my job and rez you? Why make everyone else wait for you to run back? WHYYY?

Large mounts in close quarters. People with no patience for others. People who yell an insult/s at the rest just before quitting a dungeon or battleground.

Basically though, I think people are better now than they used to be. Could be that I rarely have the Trade channel on though.

John J Keeshan. I avoid ANYTHING to do with thag annoying character like the plague.

I know, I know, hes a very minor character that pops up for the main story of a zone or two. But my god his constant screaming, his character, everything just pisses me off more than it probably should.

You can imagine my dread when I saw his stupid name pop up in the blood troll swamp area.

Also, not really a pet peeve but something I’ve wanted to mention for a long time cuz I don’t get it.

Yknow the mission in the DK starting zone where you have to get information out of the scarlet crusaders but using those two hot irons? For some reason, SOME REASON, it gives me anxiety and I genuinely have no idea why. It’s incredibly confusing but I go through that quest as fast as I can
