What things annoy you?

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post5151914

Tanks that stop and go. If you're going to commit to a pull, fully commit to it please.

Man oh man the elitists couldn't wait to post in this thread.

Quotes from other forum posters are also annoying to see in sigs. No one else finds that out-of-context, moderately witty reply from one year ago nearly as amusing as you do. Keep it to yourself.

Oh, and character cards - literally no one cares how many 80s you have or how much like a harlot your character can look like.

There’s a reason that no serious forum allows signatures these days, lol.

I can't speak for the mobile version, but you can hide them on the full-site/desktop mode.

Like others said, your cat face is a great one. I actually had to stop and check your profile pic to see if it was modded or something lol.
On the subject of signatures, mine was designed to be satirical for the exact reason that guy was complaining about. It was originally a sparkly gif too, but I decided it was too much.

I think what annoys me is people complaining about the little things.

My friend worked really hard on this drawing, so I WILL show it off at every chance I get. Thank you very much.

Oh but there’s a little thing that annoys me after all!
People using Au’ra instead of Au Ra. There’s no apostrophe people!

Guess everyone has pet peeves... I’m just as guilty.

It's just that one "older" face with the tattoos under the eyes. I think this hairstyle and the scion bandana hide the more distinct parts of the face so it's not as immediately recognizable.

I don't know thing one about FFXIV modding.

You can see the face a bit more here:

Oh and as for another thing that annoys me: I can't have as many nice cards in my Triple Triad Deck as the NPCs.

In FFXIV, you can mash multiple buttons at once, so mine are usually broken in one second from just mashing all keys with all fingers. Hope that helps with your FFXIV trials :D

I was definitely just mashing A so I will try this lol

what annoys me is that there are over a thousand bots in each server, and they banned just 7 in total yesterday lol

They are paying subs, so SE benefits from it a little I guess, unless the bot users do charge backs.

Few more things:

I often use LMB+RMB to run so I can mash more buttons while moving ^^ For some reason, sometimes it either doesn't register so I'm standing in the middle of a big bad like a moron completely suprised, trying to find my movement keys but it's usually too late. And then the exact opposite happens too: Sometimes my char keeps running despite me having already released the mousebuttons. Fell to my death at titania and hugged a wall of death on E1s a few times already because of that lol.

Also jump'n'run mechanics. This engine obviously isn't made for that, there is zero midair controll to finetune your jumps. So please stop designing leap of faith etc. in a way where if you jump normally you either over- or undershoot, and have to steer yourelf into a wall to manipulate your jump distance. It's painfull enough as it is with normal jumps, please get rid of those troll platforms that are specifically placed so that you will fall down if you try a normal jump without wall hugging.

That number is for regular players utilizing botting programs. If you are talking about RMT bots, they banned:

Tanks that pull single groups and healers that only heal.

-Being an AST, having all melee dps and getting only Ranged cards
-Having to do something to them to get the FULL list of enemies aggroing my party
-EVERYTHING in this game that has not a 100% probability to happen fails 50% of the time.

They don't: RMT use stolen credit cards and SE needs to reimburse the subscription bought with stolen cards, they get nothing but problems out of it

People dying to the same mechanic over and over again

Tim hortons not being located in every single state I visit, so i'm stuck with starbucks.

EDIT: OOOOh in game, uh, folk that don't like to converse, so they stay silent or to their own little cliques.

OMG we're going to be here all day. I'll just have to keep it down to a couple of things then.

1. As a Bard it royally annoys me when other bards use Peloton every 3 seconds. It has a 30 second timer. There's no need to refresh it nonstop. Grrr.

2. Another thing that used to annoy me is seeing other Bards use Refresh the second a fight starts or even worse the second a fight ends. Mana is going to refresh between fights. Just a huge waste. Rip Refresh.

3. Roegadyn's wearing nothing but thongs or underwear.

4. The fact that Apex Arrow shares the EXACT same sound as my Repertoire so I end up wasting my Pitch Perfect Shots when they're at 1 or 2 instead of them being at 3 stacks. Really, I'm so used to hitting pitch perfect the second I hear that sound it's super annoying. Why in the world do they even share the same sound? I don't look down to see where my stacks are at. I keep my eyes on the fight and don't even look at my freaking keyboard. I've conditioned myself to instantly hitting that button the second that sound plays. Very annoying.

Probably a lot more but I'll stop here.

What I get from this thread, sometimes, is SE needs to make Peleton less flashy of a skill lol. It's triggering people XD. I imagine people would be less annoyed then lol. It is a pretty flashy skill, filling the screen with bright light and green for a second or so. Like casting a huge green black mage flare randomly on nothing :p.

It bugs me when there's a mechanic like Curtain Call or something where the idea is to hide behind a meteor or rock and LOS the attack, and a majority of the raid is doing that, and then you've got that one or two guys out in the open. Where is the situational awareness to be like "Oh hey there's 22 people behind the rock. Maybe I should be there too?" But no, they just keep standing out in the open and then die to whatever the attack is.

when your in the feild and your talking to an npc and suddenly you get attacked by an enemy while your reading. its 2019 n they still put mobs near quest npc's this seriously bugs the crap out of me.

Bard.female.miqotes.

Ha ha ha waaah ha ha ha!

Ugh. So glad that the Elezen voice I picked is silent as a bard. Cuz I think I woulda gone insane. I know this may be an odd annoyance, but since I started this game that voice on every pull of the bow string drives me up the walls. Glad I found the mute button... three years into playing this game.

right now just PF annoys me. I place this game to escape the troubles of RL, so when I am forced to deal with stupid people just to do content it makes this game no different than work and just sucks any fun I could have out and replaces it with frustration...

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention another thing that annoys me. People who don’t know the difference between your/you’re, their/there/they’re, etc. That hurts my brain and is much more annoying than any actual in-game behavior.

This is a valid complaint. This pretty much defined FFXI in my opinion haha, sometimes HNMs were plopped right next spots you needed to go to for a quest.

Limit to Levequest allowances...

I want to collect at least every single one once but I am forced to wait days until they have at least reached high enough again to start the next small round. At the same time when I am not doing them and I am sitting on a full stack I will lose the new ones. Would have been nice to at least increase the maximum amount or just take it away completely. There are so many ways to level up all the jobs, so why still restrict them?

Best thing ever.

Continuous Side Quests that just stop every 1/3rd of the quest for no reason and force you to talk to the NPC again and again to continue it until you finally make to the end of said quest.

I'm not sure why this is, but it's always irritated me to some degree every time I had to do one of these quests.

Here’s a new one;

Every time I think about playing Summoner, I just think ‘Naa I won’t need Raise’ ‘healers can handle all that stuff’, ‘nobody dies anyway’ and end up just going as a Dancer so I can pretend I’m a support job (my DPS is supposed to be this bad omg definitely not my fault don’t @ me ) and relax with stress free damage rotations lol.

Then, every time it happens, both the healers die and we have no casters. Any other time and it’d a smooth run. Its the always the one time I try to be selfish and just focus on playing the easy jobs that we really needed one with Raise lol.

I guess the best way to describe what annoys me here is; it annoys me when I don’t think about others and pay the price for it lol. Not annoyed at the others, just at myself for not coming the one job I have that could’ve really helped lol.

Also, related to this but it annoys me we can’t decide when to apply Everlasting Flight. Even if it’s just up for a standard AoE attack I always feel like it’d be really helpful for healers, especially if they’re having issues. But since it’s auto—apply, anytime the Regen would actually be worthwhile you can’t just use Phoenix at that point it because you can’t hold Summon Phoenix just time it with AoE attacks

I don’t know where all this Summoner frustration is coming from lol but it kinda annoys me that Earthen Shield can’t be used on other party’s lol. Not that I’m unaware how overpowered that would be (A 20% HP shield for any party member with 2 charges and a short cooldown might be a little strong lol). But at the same time, it totally feels like an ability you should be able to use on others

Ok last one, but not having any combat songs on Bard anymore annoys me because my brain just can’t handle it lol. Even now I keep trying to hit Requiem, then just end up wondering ‘why am I not singing?’ / ‘how is my mp bar full?’ / ‘why have I not stopped to cast yet?’. Maybe it’s just muscle memory from using songs so much before, especially Requiem lol

Players who spam their abilities and audible emotes such as /cheer or /laugh.

Players who try to remind me that I have filter settings

Leap of faith

Length of beast tribe quest dialogue (I am quite sure most of those conversations can be cut in half)

SE seemingly does things like this to deliberately annoy us

Getting a 5 right on the middle of the mini Cactpot board as my "free number"

Leap of faith

When paired gathering nodes are placed 100+ yalms apart (seriously WTF is up with that?)

New dyes are not released with new patches. A little off topic here, but I also wish there was a 'match dye' option for those times we cannot quite match the color of another piece of gear we are wearing.

Leap of faith.

The cult-like atmosphere of the lore forum. It's pretty creepy!

Shun the nonbeliever!! Shunnnn!! ;)

All hail our great ahriman loremaster and story saviour. :p

Don't worry, I consider you to be one of the good ones. ;)

hmm when people have differing opinions from yours they then swing into attacker mode n try n attack you verbally or completley disregard what you say even though sometimes the things being debated, talked about are backed up by facts nope they will still not listen n cling tightly to their stance.

Healers only casting regen and only getting 3 heals during whole raid. Also seeing my whole raid group all dead from it. Today leveling roulette putting me in a dungeon with tank that's never tanked dungeon before and just started playing video games. First group of monsters wipe in 20 seconds. After waiting 30 minutes in duty finder for this to happen.
