Have played MMOs for entirely too long to be surprised by behaviours, wonky bugs, crashes etc. Comes with the territory.
Sometimes it's inexperience with the game genre, sometimes it's just personality or competitiveness. Taking a break is a good choice, though. Do that myself.

We can't control what happens, but we can control how we react to it.
If that weren't true, I'd be raging at people who spend their time leaping about at dolmens or wayshrines.

Well, to a certain extent.
I might get really frustrated, but that doesn't mean I have to act like a %$#&*. I can breath deeply, or grumble to myself, or log out, but our options and how well we execute them depend on many factors like experience, maturity, time regularly spent in meditation/contemplation, amount of practice with methods for self-control, unresolved stress or frustration from other events, general quality of mental/physical health, blood sugar levels, etc., etc.
Constantly having to remove items in my houses to add new ones. :'(
Even Devs sometimes rage playing the game, it isn't limited to tantrums by immature dissatisfied players. People who are competitive or really get into something enjoy it in different ways. My list is based on recurring/common causes, but it is not exhaustive.Nothing. The game is fine, I don't have any issues with it - and if I did, I would play something else instead of throwing a tantrum over it.

This, had an horible group in vWayrest2, DD spread out and died on first trash after I ran out of magic trying to heal them.DieAlteHexe wrote: »Nothing. If I find myself needing to "rage" about something, I go take a break.

I often do, but sometimes I'm trying to get people to commit to one of the specific options.

Whilst denying them the opportunity to put forward some other problem, or none.
If you're so confident that people are raging over the issues that you're raising, why deny them the opportunity to say otherwise? A biased poll is a biased poll, whichever way you look at it, and the reason that frustrates players is because it means that the devs need take no notice of the valid concerns it could have raised, they can just dismiss it out of hand because of the obvious bias.

People are already putting additional things in posts, which are being acknowledged.
But let me ask you something:
What is your purpose in this thread? You claim in a thread about what people rage over that the game is fine and you never rage (not raging is perfectly fine) and imply people who get upset playing a game are throwing a tantrum (which is insulting), and now you are being confrontational over the options in the poll for a thread about something you disagree with.
I mean, are you just here to argue? I'm not interested in that.
This thread lets people admit that they get upset sometimes and give a reason why without focusing on a particular issue, hence helping it from breaking down into a bitter fight over a single topic which is the usual MO. I also have a thread about what compliments people have been giving/would like to give the game as well for those who don't like this one

I'm not here to argue at all, you're the one arguing with my original comment. I'm simply pointing out that if you give people a fixed option to say they're raging about one of a few specific things and no other options then the result is meaningless to the devs. If you give them the additional option to vote for some other problem or to say that they have no problems and most players still vote for the same problem then the devs can pick up on that.
You say some people get upset (I agree) and that this poll enables people to "give a reason why without focusing on a particular issue" but that is precisely my point - it doesn't, it requires them to focus on one of the particular issues that you have selected.

This was a problem at PC launch but they worked to fix it. I hadn't heard that the issue is back outside of lag. Are you on PC or Console? Anyway, yeah, that sucks. Had the same problem in another MMORPG until I learned that there was an intentional partial disconnect between in the telegraph and the effect, so you had to learn to adjust your timing.
