Pet Peeve noun I have a new one. Here's some context first. So I discovered a new gaming / comic book shop today and hopped in to shop around and talk MTG, DnD, and the usual nerdness. A group were playing an elaborate game of Star Wars miniatures and it looked cool. They kept laughing and talking about events I wasn't apart of so I didn't pay much mind. But they kept saying "so-tor" or "sew-tor". It took a few moments for me to realize that's their chit chat abbreviation for "SWTOR". I had to leave. Sure "WoW" and a few other acronym based verbal words are expected in the community. But just call it TOR "tore" or such. SO-tor.. Two syllables ;bleh;.. I didn't expect it to bug me as much as it did. LoL SO what's your MMO-related peeves? I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee. |

Premade loot and loot drop tables. It's stupid to go fight such and such boss for that one drop that every class like you is wearing. Where is the true randomized loot? Wonder why people are still playing Diablo II? That's why! Give us that kind of loot that has a chance to drop off anything, and then give us our dungeons and bosses to kill, and let us have some fun! |

My MMO pet peeve?
Potential:
po·ten·tial
Definition of POTENTIAL
1: existing in possibility : capable of development into actuality <potential benefits>
2: Excuse fanbois of badly made MMOs will use to tout how great their POS game is.

Like MMOMan? That's pretty shameful. I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee. |

LoL But it makes for such a fine open-ended argument / discussion. I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee. |

Originally posted by kakasaki Potential is and has always been just a nice way of saying "Failing to deliver expectations." Ever have a parent or teacher tell you when you were a kid that you have "so much potential"? What they meant was, you don't apply yourself, you're lazy, and you have zero excuse for your lack of performance. Sound familiar? BioWare, maybe? |

I actually really came to a firm decision in SWeaTOR that mobs standing around waiting for me to kill them is my biggest pet peeve. Seriously I'm blowing your friends up with rockets/lightning/swishy sabers five feet away from you, and you aren't going to help? Lame. |

Invisible walls over crap like hand rails that I cant jump over.... god that pisses me off. "Don't mistake a fun game for a good game... Checkers is fun to play but its not exactly the highest point of gaming design... and definatly not worth $60 plus $15 a month" |

I dislike and it's opposite; super floaty loafty jumping. I'd like to see MMOs take environment interaction into more account with vaulting and some real animation. But I do realize that comes at a cost. I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee. |

Almost everyone who plays LoL.... those are some mean mean people... even when they are not playing and you are like in Vent with them or something. I wish they would just calm..... down..... "Don't mistake a fun game for a good game... Checkers is fun to play but its not exactly the highest point of gaming design... and definatly not worth $60 plus $15 a month" |

people who pronounce lol while talking
people who type out lawl Any form of elite speak...ever Non-RP names on RP servers Using already overused meme's (kthxbai, umad, etc.) |

That's terrible. I just started playing and have only had good conversations with people honestly. I'm sure at more competitive levels it'll get worse. There's not nearly enough "you're doing this wrong" in the game like I had anticipated. Another peeve of mine. I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee. |

People snacking or chewing while they talk on Ventrilo.
The mage who rolls on a two-handed sword.
The guy who sits at the auction house while he wears his Collector's Edition items 7 years after launch.
Stupid names, e.g., Gankenstein, LOLSROYCE, Lolcano, SkillClinton, etc.
People who RUSH to the end of the game.
Twinks
I'm at the point now where I just avoid my guild and do my own thing...until I'm content with my gaming experience or am maxed out. |

Games that take no time at all to hit end game. I like really slow leveling curves so I can enjoy the journey, not most MMOs crappy endgame. |
