What things annoy you?

Guys, remember you can be annoyed by something even if it's not entirely logical to be annoyed by it or if you know there may be a logical reason behind it.

I get annoyed when I hit the log in queue, but I know it's there for a reason. I'm annoyed that the game is down for patching and server maintenance, but I know why it has to be.

Just because someone gets annoyed that a red mage doesn't rez, doesn't mean they aren't aware that the lack of a raise may have been for a logical reason.

Making a mistake is fine. Refusing to raise because you just feel it's not something you should be doing is something else.

And as an aside, people still get yelled at for making a mistake. Nobody's immune to that.

When I play RDM, I only start helping on raising if:

• Healer(s)' swiftcast is on cooldown and there are 2 or more players kissing the floor.
• Healer(s)' MP is running dangerously low.
• The raise is needed to prevent a wipe or serious damage to the party: i.e. only the main tank died but both healers' swift are down while boss is about to cast a tankbuster cleave or crucial mech like those in savage that requires 8 alive members (ugh.. looking at you: Ramuh's CL PTSD...).

Otherwise, no. Healers, hardcast your raise whenever you see fits. Especially if it's ASTs because they have much more leeway to res multiple times compared to other two.

I'm frankly getting dead sick of the Lalafell hate I see here and on other social media platforms.

You speak the truth, sis. It’s popular to hate both the race and the player base behind the characters. You throw up much of a fuss about being generally disrespected by the surrounding populace and folk think you’re just ‘complaining too much’.

I haven't played other healer roles other that AST (so not sure if they have a similar thing they can do), but AST can also pop Lightspeed for faster rezzing as well.

When a stranger assumes I saw the chat log and deliberately ignored them, but in reality I was completely unaware they were talking to me or maybe that they said anything at all. There's nothing like scrolling back through the log to figure out why some stranger is irate with you, lol.

What really will never cease to annoy me: players offering unsolicited advice and typing out paragraphs worth of every single mechanic in a piece of content after seeing a first timer, or sprout.

I just wish they'd assume that sprouts didn't suddenly gain attention spans proportionate to what those essayists see as need.

No veteran would want to read all that, so why should a Sprout who more than likely wants to experience that content fresh be expected to?

When I decide to sub to a new MMO, figuring those fights out is one of the things I am hoping to get for my money. That can be fun. Certainly more so than trying to match visuals to paragraph guides.

Exactly. I don't know about others, but I personally like to learn by doing, as a first timer. Not to mention a lot of these 'essayists' are failing mechanics, and not contributing to the fight(s), because they are typing so much out.
