What Grinds Your Gears?

Here's another: People that have a /p line in every macro they got.

/s and /em are much much worse. Although /dance4 motion in my friends ballad macro amuses me.

Ya, seriously...and to all the Monks out there: We don't need to be informed every time you Boost, nobody cares.

People who troll these forums hoping to accomplish anything.

Also people who use names like "***" to demean any group of people. Yes you, find some new insults.

What else grinds my gears? Idiocy.

Along with what Korpg said, my g/f soloed Roc on Drg but no one seems to believe her even after the screenshot since the typical response is "loldrg".

I believe, although I also say loldrg all the time (mostly to annoy my DRG friends though)

It bugs me when people dislike my bow because it's not Euryto's Bow. When you are willing to plop down 3 mil for me for an E-bow, then you can gripe about it! Or when paladins tell me I need a better bow, but then they cannot keep hate off me. That actually amuses me more than annoys me, though.

Two things:

When you're partying with somebody or something else and they're telling you your job, how you should play it, what you should be doing, etcetera... Then you find out they don't have the job levelled or unlocked. This really irritates me. I hate it when people assume that they know so much about the game that they can tell people how to play their jobs when they've never so much as touched them themselves. Part of this comes from levelling (and living on at 75 as my favourite job) Corsair, since next to everyone underestimates Corsair but at the same time thinks they know it inside out; it leads to a lot of resentment on my part because of people thinking they know how the job works when actually they have no idea.

Secondly, and this is perhaps my biggest bugbear of all in and out of the game, when people feed you a line of excuses as to why they did something or can't make something when you know full well they're lying to you. Better yet, when you know full well somebody is lying to you and they keep lying. It really infuriates me. When people don't bother showing up to linkshell events multiple times in a row because of reasons you know is nonsense. If people are not happy with the way we run things, I prefer them to be straight with me rather than feed me loads of *** and bull nonsense. At least if they tell me why they can't be bothered I could improve it.

So there we have it. Any trolls reading know my weak spots now! But oh well, it always feels good venting about them.

You know what really grids my gears? When people are, you know looking for a party and have their flag up. So I send Mr. Looking For Party a tell and they don't respond. What are you too good to respond? Are you AFK? If you are AFK why are you seeking in the first place? And that is what really grinds my gears.

what grinds my gears? when people wont party with certain jobs! (i had a pld not pt because we had a thf)

On a more on-topic note, when I still played FFXI my biggest gripe was a lack of respect for other people's time.

I started playing the game back when it was JP-onry, and Japanese culture is really big on this. One thing you do not do is ever, ever waste another person's time by making them wait for you. Whether 30 minutes or 30 seconds, it doesn't matter.

This includes something as major as not having a quest/mission flagged when you join a group to complete it, to something as minor as not bringing oils/powders and demanding someone else wait behind to sneak and invis your cheap, lazy ***.

NA players seem to laugh this stuff off as not a big deal, whereas JP players partying with other JP players would rather jump off a bridge than commit such transgressions.
