What are your Pet Peeves?

menedhyn

In-game? Nothing of note.

Forums? Intolerance, rudeness, ignorance, etc.

DeadlyRecluse

Inaccurate zone calls.

These are also occurring all the time during in-game. Have the text chat on, even for a few minutes, and any of that will be popping up on zone chat.. among other toxic bantering. Ahh, people, people..

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!

The dull white is /zone - chat which is broadcast to the entire zone
Bright white is /say - which is only broadcast in a small area around the person who is talking

Rude dunmer? Have u seen any altmers, OP?

Mm, something about Dunmer rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's because most of them are heretics that worship 3 of their own instead of real gods. No... because I hate those snitching Ashlanders too.... Or maybe it's the enslavement of Khajiit.... who can make kittens as slaves? Altmer may be haughty but they have that kind of superficial/cynical politeness that lets you know they think they are better without having to be stinkyfaces. Maybe I just don't like their voice actor....

Megabear

How costumes look on beefy characters. My character's arms are like tree trunks, but with long sleeve costume they look like marshmallow arms.

josiahva

When mobs push me out of the way while I am trying to rez(Velidreth in vCOS is esp bad about this...not only does she interrpt my rez with spit...and ALL the ads interrupt with some CC or another...but they have to physically push me out of the way and break my rez-lock that way too?

THANK YOU!!!!! I could not for the life of me figure out what the difference was. Things make so much more sense now. I would bow at your feet if I could.

Minyassa

Blandine in Daggerfall with a tone that suggests I just called her horses mangy glue-factory-bound brokeback nags. Jeez woman. Yes, they're very pretty, leave me alone!

Lame-ias. Ugh, c'mon, LAHmias would have sounded so much more classy.

Jorunn's accent. Yes, I think it's great and accurate and I like him, but he still sounds like he had a stroke.

Cliffs I can climb up about halfway and then there's that one rock that's just a smidge too high to jump. !@#$.

Spiders and their horrible noises. Staaaaahp.

Sometimes my twilight has wing streamers and sometimes she does not. What even is that?

Leather bits on costumes that stay brownish tinged no matter how you dye them.

Dye colors and quest achievements being gated behind PvP.

Being forced by dialog choices to ask a really stupid question, and then the NPC yells at you for it.

Stuga. Omfg, Stuga. Actually that's not a pet peeve, I genuinely hate her now, stalking me everywhere, and yelling at me...if they had a "kill a talking NPC for free" day, she'd be SO DEAD. "Do you have any idea how long--POW!!"

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 .

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.

I don't grind in quest areas . You tell them .

Rouven

How can you see me from over there? I'm crouching!

Mettaricana

Pets are my pet peeve...

Dyes that dont dye the color they are supposed to be that are hard to get....

Trial health bars for bosses are stupid high just make the boss fight better and lower its health by 12 mil

Untimely crownstore releases and lack of selection.

Leg slider in creation meeds to have an upper thigh and calves slider seperate.

Enemies using weapon classes we can have(javelins and spears)

Boring quests with tons of steps and barely a reward.

Vampire skin

Aelifs voice

Marriks cheerfulness

kargen27

People in zone chat who answer questions from new players with, google it (insert insult here).

People in zone chat that give obviously bad advice to new players that ask questions.

malcolmhagger

ppl who dontv rez in cyrodiil

Koolio

Developers who say something and do the opposite. Or go against what they've previously said.

PlagueSD

I only have 1 pet peeve. Everything else, I can deal with.

My pet peeve? People that don't completely loot resource nodes. You know by doing that, they won't respawn, right??? You don't want to know how many unlocked chests I've come across on my farming runs with nothing but 1 junk item. Or mining nodes with no metal...or plants with just worms...

Kuramas9tails

The same person getting Emperor over and over again.

Path

Well...sometimes the pee on the rug. They never pick up their toys and I can't seem to get them to close the door behind them.

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

Random players asking me to craft for them while I'm at a crafting station trying to do my own thing.
***holes who don't empty chests and nodes.
RNG
BOP

FlaviusVoyage

LOL

Your list is awesome!

Mine:

1) Newbies who barely participated in a dolmen fight and rush to close the pinions. (Rude, rude, rude!) It bothers me so much that first I let them die on the hands of the main boss and then I rush into the fight.

2) When an NPC move me out of my way, I beg them to be killable. I don't care if I receive a bounty afterwards.

Still thinking of other pet peeves. Definitely these two are my biggest ones.

^^This

as well as:

- strangers who send random group invites in PVE

- strangers who send random duel invites, then when I auto-decline, proceed to whisper me to duel

- Dolmen trains, especially when trying to do the Fighter's Guild dailies

- receiving any request for crafted armour that hasn't been sent by a friend

- when you're standing at the bank and an NPC pushes you out of the way (yes, I'm looking at you Craglorn guard)

Malamar1229

1) Pug groups with too much downtime in between boss kills, just standing around waiting for the tank to move first.

2) People who don't do the pulls correctly at the Zombie farm in Sentinel.

3) people who hop onto my siege

Malamar1229

also all these kids tryin to be edgy using all the new internet tough guy words like triggered, git gud, etc.

when i was leading a pvp guild in WoW i use to /gkick people for using words like lawl, crymorenoob, etc

You know you can easily fix that by turning off "autoloot stolen items" in the game settings, right? You can open containers, but as long as you don't actually loot, you won't incur bounty.

It doesn't solve it. "autoloot stolen items" works when the items are inside of crates, bags, and other containers. If the item is just standing, it is not autoloot.

The only way to solve is "don't attack innocents". But then, you cannot use your blade of woe, pickpocket, or defend from guard attacks.

For me, the issue isn't auto looting (which I have turned off) but rather accidentally pressing 'E' on one of the trader's displayed items instead of the trader themselves. It usually happens when I'm either in a hurry or not concentrating enough - I need to learn to slow down and take more notice when at traders. XD

Not sure the first one is much of an issue really. There is no reward for closing a pinion and no reason to leave them until the end of the fight. With a large group they do not matter at all. With a smaller group the pinions can help with resource management so pulling two at almost the same time might not be good. Most the time though the pinions really do not matter. What does bother me though is when they somehow pull agro then run around making it tough to hit whats chasing them.

Yes, there is a reason why they do it. I believe there is an achievement if you close 100 pinions. So they rush to close it.

You can still pickpocket innocents. I actually use an addon "Troublemaker" that will automatically flag me hostile if I'm KOS. I can also keybind a toggle (backslash is my toggle - easy to remember) for when I need to do my Dark brotherhood quests.

Discontinued, but still works:

I agree with FlaviusVoyage. Sometimes you are in the middle of the fight and they stop fighting in order to close it. The focus should be the fighting.
