People who try to quad Hgs but it takes 20+minutes for them to actually finish them off, which holds up the respawn times for everyone. But everyone that I have seen do this have been completely retarded so far

Casting a spell when you have *just* enough mana only to have 'you're spell is interrupted' and 'insufficient mana' messages show up, and lose 50 mana without an actual fizzle.

I think that's related to a glitchy way the UI reports available mana with reference to mana ticks, etc...I don't think that you had enough mana at the time, but the UI thought you did...

People that join group, go afk for 20minutes, then log.

People that LD and return 2hrs later.

People that know they have to leave in a few minutes, see a rep spamming in OOC / shout, and dont tell the group. Then suddenly have to bail and group is fucked.

Some people object to the American system of quotation/punctuation rules and find the British system to be much more logical, including some reputable American sources.

Although if you were going completely by the British rules, he would use single marks instead of doubles, but whatever.

I was just pointing out his incorrect punctuation since he pointed out my incorrect spelling.

And I was pointing out that the American rule for punctuation in regards to quotations is silly, and he may have intentionally did it the way he did.

If he knows the difference, one could make a case for it being closer to a difference of opinion rather than just being completely incorrect.

Some serious grammar policing going down.

On this server people who apparently feel the need to share with the group or zone their intended or current use of drugs for , and I can only assume, the attention or conflict they know they are going to receive or start.

Everywhere else people who say expecially instead of especially.

some GM's/Guides who feel the need to Broadcast that they have signed in or to issue warnings, etc... on Classic (And even still today) the only time you heard a system message is when one of 3 conditions were met:

1.) The system is going down for a breif period of time, please make your way to a safe location and camp out.

2.) GM Event Announcments such as PvP tournaments.

3.) The World Server has Lost connection to the Host. (IE: mobs would all de-pop until it was restarted.)

Shaman on raids who slow mobs on incoming, and, if they are distracted, when the mob is at 99.98%. Either way, they end up tanking the whole time.

I'm also surprised no one has mentioned this yet: the prices in east commons are pretty airport-riffic at this point. Resellers running rampant, reminiscent of Vermont/NH circa 1980s, where yuppies would buy up EVERY house on their block just to artificially raise prices and cost-control whom their neighbors could potentially be.

Marglar
08-05-2011, 08:15 PM
yeah the pricing is really high, much higher then any live server would have been. I am glad there are a ton of nice people here and they cut breaks for noobs, but it's tough for those that are starting to buy any halfway decent stuff since prices are so inflated.

on this server

--mobs running to late, thus group dynamics are skewed (no need for snare, dungeon environment much safer)
--critters not returning items you give them when you kill them (makes soloing certain critters either to hard, or to expensive)

-DoT aggro.
-High resists in high db / white / yellow mobs.
-Druids and Mages who don't use their DS on the tank (Seriously people, that damage adds up!).
-People who use the word "gay" when they mean "stupid", and then use it ad nauseum.
-pl0x. It's please. PLEASE. There is no X and there is no 0 in that word. Had I the power to do it, every person who asked me for a "SoW pl0x" would be instantly TL'd to the Plane of Fear to be death touched by Cazic-Thule himself. Good luck breaking that plane, jerkwad.
-Tanks who insist on making the Shaman or Druid heal when the heals just can't keep up with the damage being put out @ a given level. Then die when they get over-zealous and blame the healer.

...I suppose its more like a list of peeves rather than any one single annoyance...
