Took my a while to think of anything

When people run around screaming in zone chat that they are selling their bites for 30k, as if that's perfectly acceptable.

Furthermore, when people pay for bites at all, that makes me cringe hard, just because they wasted their money before we could get to them in time to help. Although to them perhaps its not a waste, but they didn't need to make that investment, and a lot of people really do struggle to make money, especially at the start. But you can't help everyone sadly

I agree to an extent. There are certain titles that I show respect to (e.g. Flawless Conqueror, Master Angler, Monster Hunter, etc.). The titles that show that you've dedicated some serious hours into the game, and really were persistent. I hold high regard for those types of titles.

I gave up on Master Angler a year and a half ago when I was level 8 on my main character and I tried out fishing for the first time. Why? Because my very first "reel in" in ESO was used bait.

I have 5 Flawless Conquerors though! Out of 6 DPS characters. Might do it on a tank and healer for lolz.

Dro-m'Anthra Destroyer is a work in progress.

Try to beat Hard Mode Maw of Lorkhaj. You'll see that its harder than killing 90% of the players in Cyrodiil. As a matter of fact, competing for scores in vMA is more brain work than 1vXing a few people who don't have a clue about PvP. Before you call me a noob or anything, yes I do PvP a lot, no I don't play the FotM proc set or destro ult build.

Fingaenion no!

People always talking about BiS and meta builds. I don't really see how a small amount of higher numbers make the game more fun.
Its not fun to play like every other player do. Almost always try to make my own build and out of the box. It make the game alot more fun.

PVP:

-Jesus Beam spamming from 40 meters
-Keeping jesus beam spam even after interrupts
-zone chat (LF big group plz)
-Permablock tanks (and "they don't deal any damage just ignore them" stupidity)
-Proctards

PVE:

-Light attack spam
-Double bar Bow
-Using 2H
-Play the way you want

So for PvE you like all to play with meta builds or what? Some people like to play bow builds

Completely agree with you! Play your own way. Don't be a sheep and follow everyone's "awesome" build ideas. Just experiment and play what works for you. There isn't just one choice when figuring out how you want to play your character.

And on that subject... I hate munchkin players... always min/maxing numbers and crap... This is a roleplaying game, not a spreadsheet. Play a character in the world as a character in the world... not some spreadsheet crunching thing...

And if someone tries to put you down for your character not being built right... whatever. I'll just ignore them. I have no desire to group with those kind of people.

Every time they release new crown store content to buy but no new actual content for the game.

Watching people on this forum complain about things and Zos ruining the game based on those complaints.

Example : Ic too hard ( Now you can solo wgt / icp ) / I can't do high enough damage to compete ( nerf players that learned how to play the game ) etc etc

Learned how to play the game...? or just exploiting a balance issue?

Number crunching is not "Learning how to play the game" That's just being a munchkin. If the game is designed so you have to completely run at 100% total max potential on any given class to overcome bosses and the like, then it's a poorly designed game. That's just stupid. The game is supposed to be fun and not just reward those that live on it. Content should be a challenge, but not so much so that the majority of people (the ones that don't live on it) can't overcome it. That's why I don't play Blizzard games... they suck at that crap.

As if any title really matters? I really hope you don't tie your ego to how well you do in PvP...? Someone wants to use a title, then more power to them. No skin off my back if they fancy to be known for something.

It really doesn't impress me how well someone does in PvP. PvP tends to attract some very unsavory personality types that are typically immature. Not my cup of tea, thank you.

AtraisMachina

Bad DPS. Like when people just come in to a dungeon with like 300 cp and then spam rending slash and light bow attacks.

O and people who get antsy when you try and help them not suck ass but theyre like "I wanna play with a two-hander" and im like "theres 20 adds man you cant just spam wrecking blow and expect me not kick you."

Molydeus

Inconsiderate kids spamming zone chat for dolmen groups. Sometimes they don't even say what they're looking for, they just type

And I was starting to think that no one was going to bite.



Really though, PvE is eeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaasy, and that goes for vMoL too!

What are some of the things you all see in-game that make you cringe?

For me it's:
• Crystal Fragments "hard-casting" Sorcerers.
• Nightblades who spam Surprise Attack constantly.
• Magicka-based variants of classes outside of Templar who utilize DW.
• People who constantly talk about "meta builds" and utilize them, but have absolutely no clue behind the build'a mechanics.

how do you know they are crystal frag hard casting? you do realize crystal frags is a morph right? great for single target, but in some sorcs build more for crystal blast to do more aoe d.

@AzuraKin ...Crystal Blast? What? I'll be honest with you. And sincere as well. I've been playing ESO since early beta. I've seen tons upon tons of obscure builds, and strange play-styles. But not once. Have I EVER seen anyone use the other morph. It has always been C-Frags. Always. Whether it was used by high levels, or lowbies starting off. It was ALWAYS C-Frags. If you've seen someone else use the other morph, or if you've done so yourself — then kudos to you. For I have never seen or heard of anyone doing so.

i do use it on my mage sorc at times, its useful against zergs in pvp especially for ap farming. dont have to jump into the middle of them and hope you can get out without dying, yah right. or try to tag everyone with single target. i also use destro and restro skills. i actually change up sorcs bar more then any other class.

- Heem-Ja's voice in Ruins of Mazzatun. Whenever I hear it "I think I must throw up"
- DDs that list as tanks in the group finder to get into a vet group fast
- PVP noobs that steal the siege of another player to start shooting at a postern house; most ugly: stealing a cold stone treb
- 20-man-PVP-groups racing down one single player and then t-bagging him as if they managed a major achievement

OrphanHelgen

Healers and tanks who think their only job is to heal and tank, aka permablockers and mutagen spammers.

Also yes, when someone make a meta build and still dont have the dps, where I see their endless hail are not up for 10 sec, and they have no light attacks in their rotation - blames the weapon traits.

I agree with 100% of all of this. Especially people who steal siege. That has been 1 of my gripes for years. It's so damn cringeworthy and frustrating. It's like, "Ugh! Just spend your own AP, and get your OWN siege!"

Last night I was reminded of one of the most annoying things people do-
pull the boss to where their health resets.
One idiot was standing in the doorway of the tribunes folly boss room, spamming heals and then would back all the way up in the hallway when he was attacked, resetting the boss...he did this twice and probably would've kept doing it had a tank not showed up to taunt the boss.

When I tank a pledge, I will aggro the boss to reset health if impatient types start fight before the 2 key scroll is read. More work than wiping, but it sends a pretty clear message.

I love when there are a couple of people fighting a world boss, and one lowbie realizes he's about to get rekt so he thinks running away is a good choice
