What things annoy you?

Doing content that's lower than level 76 really, game is so boring at low levels

I wish we didn't have to play the content at all... you don't pay my sub! i just wanna walk around!" and I've yet to see an inbetween

The inbetween for me are players that are decent enough at what they do, not terribly interested in endgame and generally fairly open to criticism or discussions but with an intense passion for shitting on other games as if FFXIV is the Holy Grail of all MMOs and everything else is garbage.
The problem with them is that they subconsciously most likely know that FFXIV has flaws but refuse to see them and if they do, they try to sell it as charming, part of FFXIV and "something different". They quickly put down players offering feedback and criticism about the game itself, sometimes to the point of getting really personal and often try to shut down discussions or derail them into "at least it's sO mUcH bEttEr than this other game".
People who usually seem reasonable and nice enough can get pretty vile and toxic within a moment.
The classic "just go play this other game if you dare to not like something here.... even if it's a good point and could be improved".

- That one female miqo'te voice
- People left the dungeon etc after a SINGLE wipe
- toxic players
- tanks who can't not wait, when others are in a cutscene

Strawman arguments.

A tank who says in chat "lead the way" then proceeds to provoke off of you.

Speak to *blank* in idyllshire. -> Speak to *blank* in the revenants toll -> Speak to *blank* in idyllshire. :rolleyes:

i've said this before - the story is amazing where it's at and i don't think it needs to be condensed but these quests? absolutely need some refining and reworking, even post-post arr.

Ranged/caster dps who stay out of the healing yalm and then wonder why they die.

The way this forum looks can bug me sometimes.
I feel like I need a key when looking at parts of it.

Like, when looking at a list of threads they all have am en envelope next to them. Some are open, some are closed. Some are red, some are grey, or yellow. Some have clocks next to them and others don't.

Or how apmost all of the thread titles have two arrows pointing down in a blue circle just to the left of their name, but a couple don't.

People have all these medals by their head and I don't know what they mean or why some are gold.

At least with the little tags or envelope with a minus sign next to them (to the right of thread names when seeing threads in a list) you can hover over the icon and text pops up explaining what that is, but so many other things aren't clear and I can't find a reference explaining them.

- red envelope for "hot threads" with lots of posts, reaching 6 pages is the threshhold
- yellow envelope for threads below 6 pages long
- grey envelope for topics you already checked recently
- blue arrow for hopping to the newest post since last checking the thread
- clock symbol means you posted in this thread aswell
- medals are just a gimmick to visualize how many posts someone made; first you get silver medals every X post and once you reached the limit, you get a gold medal and new silver medals for more posts
