Does it to me too. :( Hadn't happened in nearly a month when it got really bad, but happened twice in the last day. Happens when I am casting spells and moving.

Accidentally hitting the power button on my keyboard while playing/chatting.

When I get the blank server list over and over and over while leeching on unencrypted wi-fi when I am desperately trying to play at my girlfriends house after she has fallen asleep...

My biggest irk is when you put the effort into forming a high level group to exp and then 15mins later someone has to leave. I mean, why even join at all.

The MOST upset? Surely the all-too-common revolving-door-group can't be it. Surely you're more upset by someone training, kill-stealing, or trying to ninjaloot your stuff.

HEY that reminds me. On this server, does the person/group getting the xp get exclusive loot rights for a few minutes? Cuz in classic anyone could loot any mob at any time; there was no timer. A level 1 noob could ninjaloot a freshly killed named mob.

what irks me is when i steal a blue diamond from your alli and not a black sapphire.

i mean, wtf?

-People who do nothing but play games online and have the best gear for their time in, thus in turn are treated like they are better than the lower levels giving them a sense of entitlement. Sorry, Im a father of three, have a full time weekly job, travel wrestling on the weekends, sell sports merchandise on the side, annnnd I actually do atheletic things outside! Doesn't make me a worse player than the poopsocker with the best gear.
-Unprofessional GMs. Now I understand this is a FREE game and you are a volunteer, but the ONE time I send a GM a petition about something I felt was inappropriate, he tells me I'm "whining". Someone with some type of moxy would have atleast said, "we will check in to it." If that GM is burnt out or something on the game, then by all means back out and take a break, you could run off newer players with your lack of professionalism. Although its a free game, you are still representing a game full of devs hard work and the best damn game on the planet!

Got to agree that the folks running the show here probably wouldn't make my friend's list; nor would I make theirs. I've seen too many "fuck off" comments made by them; and that's just not my style. Still, their hard work has resulting in something amazing and I appreciate and thank them for it.

/edit when I say "fuck off" comments, I'm referring to the forums here; not in game. But then again a lot of people are IDB on the forums and hate to admit it but I'm probably as guilty as anyone of IDB'ness; but in a different, self-riteous sort of way.

People who refuse to group. I mean, I get that some people like soloing and that their lives make it tempting to make a solo class, but there are also those who actively reject invites in dungeons in favor of soloing the exact same content. I had a group in Mistmoore once, pulling to that hill by the pond, and we had room for another. This druid runs up, rejects the invite, and proceeds to solo the same mobs we're pulling from. He wasn't camping some named spawn for gear, he wasn't AFK 90% of the time or otherwise unable to function in a group, he just preferred soloing the mobs. I don't get that. I take no issue with people who prefer kiting in Karana over going to a "dungeon", or want to grind out the last bit of an irritating level without the risk of wiping in more challenging content. I sympathize with people who don't want the hassle of putting a group together. But when someone is invited as the 6th man and then refuses, only to start soloing the mobs they would have been killing in the group anyway, I have to wonder why they play an MMORPG.

Catnip.

It always irks me when I do something I know is dangerous and then I die and get all pissed off at myself for attempting it in the first place.
