What things annoy you?

New stuff becomes outdated way too fast.

Square seemingly being content with the same formula every expansion. Game is getting predictable. That said it's still fun, but I just wish it would take a chance and try something new to mix it up.

Why are more than 90% of the new ear accessories that are earrings just an earring? Is the trend now is to only have 1 earring on? I think it looks stupid!

What they should do is put an option in the character menu to have left, right, or both showing the earring/ear cuffs.

Joining an in-progress duty, and quickly finding out why they lost a member...

All the tops that have just one large, out of place, shoulder piece or horn sticking out. So many of these pieces would look significantly better without them. They are so intent on creating asymmetry in their gear designs that they take it too far and the gear ends up looking just completely awful.

Something that annoys me in the game is that Archers/Bards don't actually have projectiles in some of their animations. Just an animation of shooting something and an animation of something hitting the target. There is no in-between. I really don't like it. It feels cheap.

This actually happens for Machinist as well but since it's a gun shot, you don't expect to see it, so it's not so bad. For dancer they made longer animations that make it seem like the chakrams are being thrown around, but they aren't. But the lack of projectiles in these classes is jarring. I really wish they fixed that.

People who play their lower level tank alt with low level melee gear as if they were with HL tank stuff in HL content with full tanks skills...

Tank with so-so stuff who want to make packs as if Shield and Stoneskin were still available and don't understand why they take that much damages...

Joining an in-progress duty just to find that it's The Thunder God, half or more of the alliance is gone, and a vote abandon goes through a minute or two later. After a 20-minute queue.

Sounds silly but removing some of the unique aspects of classes. It kinda feels like they're making them play the same.

That and removing the old attack animations. I miss doing the cool flip as a BRD. The striper pole DRG attack, Deploying turrets as a MCH.

Silly caps on tombs. Let me get my gear.

Just want to point out that res weakness hasn't lowered health since 4.0, when it was changed to only lower strength, dexterity, mind and intelligence. The intent is that dying and being ressed would cause a dps reduction but not make you more likely to die (which created a sort of death spiral in some fights).

Your point about poorly timed res acceptance is valid but that's player error (one I've myself made from time to time, yes, but still).

Dunno why but its emberrasing when that PF maker cant even meet the requirement themselves. avoid

those groups suck

People who continously rage on about Difficulty = more dps.

These people are the likely cause of the simplification of the game, because the argument tells SE

“Skill differences are too wide to justify balancing” they’re not going to intentionally unbalance their game so the argument becomes the latter.

It’s another case of the majority can’t have good things because a minority decides to ruin it.

It grates on me every thread I read on these types of topics. Complexity is ment to be for enjoyability not to encourage players to base their opinions of balance on them.

Oh well with the hints to simplifying both ninja and summoner with the upcoming changes to them maybe these arguments will finally die :p

When your character just sits there shocked and watches something horrible that they very much and very easily could have stopped happen.

I'm looking at you, tank role quest. Seriously, you're just gonna watch a cardinal virtue slowly approach a dude, stare him down, and murder him within like ten feet of you... and do nothing???? No shout, no *shot in the back,* nothing????

The only excuse I can possibly think of is not being sure if you can survive a fight with him but??? Distract him and run away or something at least, like come on you've fought much worse and much more and your ability to react just vanishes *then?* That merchant did not need to die and I'm irritated that he did.

Also throwing the eyes of Nidhogg off a cliff in HW was dumb no matter how "impassible" that cliff was supposed to be. At least like, think about your plans when it's *appropriate* to. Ahead of time maybe??

Though I honestly can't remember if they did plan that one ahead... just seems like it was kinda poorly thought out.

Also, when your character steps back in shock when the thing said isn't even actually shocking at all. Idk, I get it's intended to be surprising or whatever, but there's gotta be a better emote for "oh wow didn't know that" than :O! SHOCKED GASP! Pls SE.

---

So the Nidhogg Eye thing: I was sooo convinced they would toss em at least in the opposite sides of the platform???? But nooo, let's throw that sh*t together, what could go possibly wrong?? UGH

Also personally I can't stand skimpy dressed chars/glamours for fighting, esp tanks are ridiculous to me - but to each their own, I'd never say something in the chat

I just feel petty enough to keep saying it - the notion that male healers, specially WHM, don't exist. I swear if I see one more white princess/bride dress and you dare call it a 'unisex robe' I'm going to - *censor dolphin sounds*

I hate people that hate those groups, cause those groups are great for people that you know, can be bothered to learn how to play.

White Mage Healers that don't take advantage of their superior MP Management skills, forgetting they have Lucid Dreaming (Formerly Shroud of Saints) Assize & Thin Air & the Lilies. And still think its Stormblood so everyone else needs to use Refresh and Manashift to upkeep their MP for them.

"Kill for friend, then farm"

Sometimes I still like to use my old berserk macro asking for an esuna. I am sure it annoys someone.

Oh, yeah. Besides the dumb people I just DESPISE one more thing in this game...
STUPID LOOKING WEAPONS AND ARMOR
Like seriously, SE. In the therms of armor we have some decent looking ACTUAL plate and mail that OK. But in therms of weapons - WHO CREATED THAT?? I understand, that this is fantasym i understand that you need to show of, but by the Gods and Devils, who draw those swords?! WHO!? They look clumsy, heavy, even rediculous sometimes! The mellee weapons in this game are just AWFULL looking. The worst thing is that the low level nonunique weapons and armor are looking more realistic and pleasant than high level trash. For example: Aeolian Scimitar - good and realistic looking scimitar, that have only one problem - bad textures on the blade and handle. I swear if SE could work a little on the weapon design of low level equipment they would look just AWESOME. And than we have Ravel Keeper's Sword... I wish I've never looked at that... thing. The blade is curved in all posible ways like the branch from the base of the blade, the crossguard will not defend you from anything, because it's bent to the blade... Ugh... It's like SE wants us to swing around some plastic toys, not the weapons for battle!
It's my opinion and will stay the same untill something in game changes, but PLEASE, SE! Give us some WEAPON, not the plastic toys! I can't wear any armor or weapon that comes after Realm Reborn as glamour because how bad they look! Give us some real, good looking swords, bows and axes! 80% of the weapons in game are hurting my eyes. I get that you all about katanas, but other weapons want love too, damn it!

The fact there's no option tab targetting : ennemies in inimity list first.

There is...sort of. If you go into keybinds > Targeting there's a couple options to cycle through the enemy list. I think they're unbound by default.

- Lalafells
- Dumb tanks that position bosses/enemies in ways that prevent or hinder positionals(against walls/inside puddles)
- Dps that never aoe or think the only time to aoe is when there's 90000 enemies.
- Emote spam (can't stand Limsa partially due to this)
- Tataru
- People who try to trash others for their performance while they are screwing up the mechanics as much or more so than others.
- How some players who have been reported a million times for openly botting go unpunised indefinitely, such as pvp botters and dol/doh botters.
- People doing wall pulls in super low level dungeons when no one even has aoe.


I could actually list more but I think that's enough for this post.

Doesn't go in order by distance though, so irritating. Makes me grumble.

This is unacceptable, and I will be contacting my lawyer.

- When I am not doing Ex or Savage content right at the minute at which that content drops I pretty much HAVE TO research on YT what happens and how to beat that content.
- How much down time (waiting, disbanding, waiting) there is if you don't have a static and have to rely on the PF.

Stupid DRK running (not sprint) animation. God is so stupid.

Holy shit, this. I was so happy with the Scalemail chestpiece from the phantasmagoria Tomestones only to realize the boots were plate high heel stilletos. What the hell, SE.

Oh and the, "Just glamour it" people.

I'm tired of getting "Rescued". I can count on 1 hand the number of times it was actually useful and saved my life. There are too many times i can count that its actually done more harm than good, and some healers just do it for fun and there's nothing you can do about it.

All this power, and im powerless to stop a healer from dragging me into an aoe. RIP.

I had the same reaction...like "damn its WoL cutscene sickness again" (Its funny because the whole group of WoDs also have that problem in the very same quest)

Also:

- Jumping puzzles that are not fit for the game. If you make them, then make them with the game in mind so that I dont have to stand on air to make the jump..also please dont put them behind the sightseeing log, there is nothing fun for me trying to land on some lamps..

- Having a limited glamour inventory: I already have like only 50 slots left to put in and this is only the start of the expansion. Sadly I will need to use my retainer again if they dont increase the limit soon.

- Restriction on glamour while using old crafting gear as dungeon gear...so I am not able to use certain gear sets for all jobs but I am completely able to run around as a mage with reused crafting gear..there is imo no logic behind it.

- Restriced female Viera hair

Sastasha from leveling roulettes for 6 days in a row................................................

:mad:

(Feels like Azeyma is punishing me for something....)

Sorry for the 2nd post but...

The fact it's been several years and we still can't store Augmented artifact gear...

Yeah, as a WHM, I am scared to use it. I cast the spell and there is such a long delay to get the person to me that I need to have cast at least about 3 to 4 secs before the attack would have gone off. That spell is so lame and horrible because you have to wait for so much animation and system time that it is just too slow.

I used it 3 times and only 1 time it saved a person while the other 2 times, they died. If I had ignored the spell, they would survive with like no health and vuln stack instead of me having to cast rez...

So, I have it on my hotbar, but WAY off to the side of my keyboard just in case if I know the person will die no matter what, then I can attempt to use it.

Players who feel the need to start discussions about strats or pointing out mistakes DURING en encounter, causing them to fail mechanics and take even more damage, ultimately causing a wipe. Focus on the fight, save the typing, complaining and making suggestions part for the next try.

Also players who demand everyone to "wipe it" the second they die.

healers useing rescue on me when there is no need for it just stop plz k thnx.

Two things have been happening more recently, like over the past couple weeks, that have started to really grind my gears:

1. Queue for roulette or a duty pops and all but one or two people confirm, and then somebody withdraws, meaning you have to wait in the queue again. Sometimes even though I’m #1 on the queue I’m still left waiting an extra 10-15 mins.

2. Wiping once in a raid or trial resulting in half the group leaving or trying to vote abandon. I actually said something to the effect of “really guys? After one wipe?” Last night in WOD when we wiped to Angra Manyu and folks realized we actually had to do the mechanics. I understand leaving or abandoning after multiple attempts prove fruitless, but it’s a pet peeve of mine when people can’t have the patience to try more than one time.

I’m sure this has always been a thing in this game, but as I said I’ve noticed it significantly more recently.
