What irks you? - Page 3

A few things that irk me:

- I think pets zoning was a good idea in Shards of Dalaya. It turns out it doesn't really make you much more powerful, but it's just convenient and nicer.

- The arms on ogres aren't put on quite right. When they are sitting down, if you look from directly behind them you can see a giant gap in their elbows where they bend. It ruins my suspension of disbelief when I look at a sitting ogre.

- I was never that into steampunk themes, and thus tinkering doesn't really sit that right with me. I'm trying to get over it.

- I always though haste items on melees were too important. It seems like weapons would stand out more if not for the haste item being a one stop shop to increase melee damage.

- I think warriors should get more for using shields.

Fujis tank-hating irks me.

-Half full groups that do not take you in group because you arent exactly what they are looking for or your gear is only decent for your level (non-twink).
-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.

Let me ask you this, why would someone who is completely capable of soloing stuff that it takes a whole group of non-solo classes to kill, join a group to get only 1/6th of the exp...I have been in groups many times and let me tell you, I can solo faster and get better exp than any group can get exp at my level. Not to mention get 100% of the money. Maybe that is me being selfish but it is the truth.

For example, I am level 45, I got 2 yellow yesterday in a little over 3 hours, just off and on camping seafuries and gornit. I made 2k. If I were in a group, you bet your ass I wouldn't have gotten where I did.

What erks me is getting tells for invites to groups when I am kicking ass at soloing and making phat lewts...

In all seriousness though, I don't group because when I log on, I have no idea how long I will be on for. It could be 15mins, it could be 6 hours. Back when I was in college I would group right up with ya, but now that I am married, my plans get messed up.

So I try to make as much of it as I can and solo my way up so I can keep up with the Jeffersons.
