What are your Pet Peeves?

max_only

For me:

1. Bosmer men have hairy chests. (Why??? Have at least one option like you do with freckles)
2. Unexplained npcs. Like Aldarch Wuufren. Or the woman screaming in Reaper's March - Willowgrove.
3. Npcs with pet wolves (I want!) like Lothakar Secret-Oath and Ice.
4. Sorcerers streaking in town. Makes me nauseous when they force my screen to zoom in!
5. Mobs that summon help - talking to you Spriggans.1v1 me birch!
6. Jackal pets eating mice. nooooooooo
7. Guars and guar type creatures.
8. I may be too short but my horse is DEFINITELY tall enough for this water arrrggggh
9. Skavengers and wharf rats aren't pets. Gimme those.
10. Argonian voices.
11. Rude Dunmer (so basically all of them)
12. Chests and nodes that disappear when you get close.
13. There isn't a way to replay cut scenes or npc acted scenes.
14. How small the Welwa pet is.
15. How much clipping there is in the Glenmoril Witches robe.
16. The new siphoning attacks.
17. Npcs that push you out of their path.
18. Crafting writ items are not in the same order as the crafting window.
19. Cribs in npc homes and as a furnishing design. Is this Children of Men? What kind of sick pied piper schtick is going on?
20. When dps doesn't Rez....
edit:
21. When people derail lighthearted threads with zealous hyperbole.


What's yours?

My pet peeve are the sniffling whining care bear cry babies that pollute mmo forums. They are like locusts, every game, they move as a unit and they flood forums with tears and wreck games for the majority. They seem to feel entitled because they paid for the game to come in and wreck havoc on the design and DEMAND the game be changed to their liking.

MMO after MMO after MMO, on and on it goes its sad. We need someone like Arnold at ZOS to stop the flood.

A pet peeve or pet aversion is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying to himself, to a greater degree than others may find.

Cyrodil load screens that when you get out, you're dead already...
Game crashes and you are stuck back in the queue again...
Maxed out ping and fps down in the 2s and 3s...

And this is only in 15 minutes tonight...

Hagravens.
Bears existing.
NPC's pushing me out of the way.
That room in Old Orsinium that refuses to stop spawning spiders so you have to run away.
Going through a quest you have done before and noticing that it has been changed.
The new personality that makes my new Altmer Sorc look insane in one of the idle poses.
Making a new character and having negative mount speed.
Nightblades, playing one.
That chest behind an invisible wall in one of the new Vvardenfell public dungeons.
Bots and cheating.
A lot of what happens in zone chat.

Players that can't follow an optimized grinding course and mess up the spawn rate . Although I never vocalize my opinion but if I was a mean person I would . We are grinding to min/max time to = max XP , why would you slow that down ? Might as well go PVE and quest .

ParaNostram

The whole concept of "meta" or "best in slot". I'm in it for the fun and unconventional builds.

Oh God shut up. This is a lighthearted thread to entertain people. You were the only person whining here.

My pet peeve is that we literally can't have any interesting threads on this forum without a troll coming by to crap all over it.

2 on your list - screaming woman is being attacked by bees from the nearby hive!

You pretty much summed up most of my pet peeves. I have some others though.

Zombie puke - Do they really need to do that? I thought they ate brains
Warden bear activation noise - Scares the heck out of me and I have a heart condition!
Spiders - Just yuck
Lamias - In no world should there be a cat/crocodile/snake hybrid mix
A portion of zone chat - Can someone please tell me why most of zone chat is colored off white, but some of it is bright white? It's the only color I can't figure out!

Here is my final pet peeve and it's a little hard to explain. Sometimes when I am waiting for a dolmen to spawn or a boss to spawn, there will be other players around....which is fine because it's an MMO. But sometimes, somehow, they position their characters in a way that it seems the character is staring at me right through my screen. I don't play in first person, so I'd really like to know how they do that and if they are doing it on purpose! Creepy!

LAG.
Players running ahead to grab that node/chest etc.
Players leaving items on nodes (worms, style mats etc).
Jumping instead of interacting with something...
RNG.
Repetitive NPC chatter. Completely sick of the two in Belkarth near the wayshrine and the two up in the merchant area.

Rude dunmer? Have u seen any altmers, OP?

Dracofyre

mobs feeding when they need heals, very annoying
when i buff for runs, only last for 4-5 seconds, and i still see others outrun me on foots with no buffs, assuming they may have speed hacks.
groups of 3's that you cant sneak up
chain rooted if i encounter 3 mages or scouts
chain fear on cliffs to unavoidable deaths
unfinishable quests, skyshards and treasure map baits for PVP in Cyrodiil, i curse devs for that, WHY!!!!

For me:

7. Guars and guar type creatures.


What's yours?

Guar
But guar are adorable!

Pet peeve- when I'm strolling through the center of town and somehow manage to fat-finger my ultimate, dropping a glowing Nova smack in the middle of, say, some shoppers in Wayrest, before casually slinking away pretending it wasn't me.

Tell that to the Bear farmers in Bangkorai. They're farming IN A QUEST AREA. The bears themselves are a part of the Quest. When I went through there last time I had to sit there much much longer than necessary to kill a bear near one of the stones cause that massive farm group kept taunting them away from me immediately when they spawned.

The annoying crap works both ways.

bottleofsyrup

- Bow light attack spammers
- People who don't play the game at all and just sit in zone chat trolling for hours
- Sorcs who keep their Twilights summoned in banks and at crafted stations, especially since it blocks interactions
- Egomaniacal players who constantly need to brag about how "OP" they think they are in guild/zone chat. PvE and PvP.

Pet peeve: Losing.

robvs

- Accidentally stealing items when trying to access a guild store.

Stupid people.

My pet peevs all mostly centre around the mailing system.

1) Why don't we get a copy of any sent mail? I send too many mails to ss every single one.
2) The sender should be able to cancel mail at any time after an hour or so. The current 3 and 30 days waits are all heavily stacked towards griefers.

and

3) The receiving times are all over the place. Some require just a simple zone out, whilst other times it makes no difference even if you log out. So many times people have questioned whether i have sent them mats etc

This..! I would add an "s" to troll, though.

Unfortunately, life (real) is too short to list mine. Reason I mainly solo.

Almost forgot about mobs with seemingly infinite detect radius who somehow detect you from across the map while you're mounted even though you have Shadow Rider.
