What are your Pet Peeves?

ads that chase you for six miles preventing you from mounting, when they finally hit you they just run back like nothing happened.

Or you turn to fight them, just as they're about dead they reset and run away.

Sounds a bit like EP but not quite as bad

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.

It's an equivalent of laughing so hard in other people's company you accidentally fart!

Some of OP's list I agree with. Others make me wonder what OP is smoking.

Me personally, I'm really sick of the "Bandits with a prisoner as bait" random encounters. Everytime I hear "I'm sorry, they forced me to do it," I really want the option to kill the NPC. I don't know why I find myself hating the prisoner more than the Bandits, but I do.

Doesn't help that I almost always stumble on these and never know they're there until I'm in the range that sets off the attack. On those rare occasions where I do hear them far enough away to avoid, I always do so.

I agree!

Also those summoners that open a portal to some daedra? I hate those guys. They purposely summon daedra and then have the nerve to ask for my help when they can't handle it. I like to leave them to it. I wish I could wait by to see their shield run out and have them be killed by the daedra.

As to what I'm smoking? Nothing, this rotmeht is pretty strong though.

In no particular order:
* people talking random languages in zone chat (IDK why it anoys me so much, but I even get anoyed when it is a language I understand)
* Racist NPCs (basicly all dunmer and a few non dunmer)
* slavery (once again, mainly dunmers)
* exiting stealth whenever I interact with a chest (this "feature" has cost me many timed heists and even some chests)
* Dark Brotherhood (I feel bad having to kill most NPC)
* being forced to kill khajiit (I love them and their culture so it feels extra bad when I have to hurt one of them. However there are a few exceptions, some khajiit I have no issues with killing)
* all the really impactfull bugs that has beem around for years without even being acknowledged by ZoS (for example the one in Pact Advocte that forces you to redo the entire quest, sometimes multiple times)

Nice catch! I didn't think I'd have to explain such a simple idea as a "pet peeve" and was speechless that the second poster had no concept of what it could possibly mean. So yes, I did use the Wikipedia definition because sometimes other people are too stupid for the effort of words.

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.

You didn't think you would have to explain it? LOL - you precious, naive fool.

I'm just glad you took the joke as such and not a personal attack - we seem to have a hair trigger around here...

These remind me of another one. I hate idiot plots, but I especially hate RPG idiot plots where I'm the idiot. When you reach a point in a quest where you have to make a decision and you say to yourself, "There's no way on earth my character is dumb enough to make this choice," there's something wrong.

"Freedom's Chains" in Kerbol's Hollow in Bangkorai has to be the absolute worst example of this in the game. Renoit Leonciele is a blithering imbecile, stupid beyond belief, and rather than tell him this, the PC just keeps on going along with his requests. The only smart thing to do is abandon (or never accept) the quest.

Another pet peeve: Accidental double posting.

Crown Crate exclusive items that cannot be bought even if you are swimming in a pool of Crown gems, such as Adamant Dwarven Horse, Ebon Dwarven Senche Mount, Vitrine Dwarven Wolf Mount, and (long sigh!) Resplendent Sweetroll.

Ohh, just remembered another one. Actually much more than a pet peeve, it is a huge annoyance: being stuck in invisible pebbles when sprinting. It is really noticeable when using Rapid Maneuver or its morphs.

Omg so I'm not seeing stuff!

Also, people running in on WB fights just to pull the boss out of every single DoT I drop on them, including ulti, then heroically die after dealing 0 damage, res, rinse and repeat. It's literally making it harder to take the boss down than it would have been alone. That's a really big one for me lately.

Yeah, newbs think kiting works on WB the way it works on wolves and spiders. The only thing more annoying than a light bow spammer resetting the boss is when they are also the low health newb that runs away and you have to chase them down to heal them. I don't think they know that heals are AOE and aren't selectable like in WoW.

right now, two things

#1 is when you get a group invite, you click on accept and then... nothing no message to say why you didn't get in the group.

#2 is the grammar error in the "this may be an unusually long load time" incorrect use of the word unusually, should read common.
