What things annoy you?

[Enkidoh]

This is bound to cause vitriol in some people but anyway:

DPS checks. I know the whole point of them is a way of putting the brakes on players speedrunning (which is also the reason for enrage timers), but it utterly fails at that and players speedrun through dungeons and trials anyway, forcing non-DPS-centric classes to DPS (and created the whole stupid "Healers=DPS" meta). Rather than DPS classes actually doing their jobs and, you know, DPS a little bit better and faster, it's easier to just say "Tanks and healers DPS too!"
Quicktime Events during trials. I mean, seriously? QTEs are the bane of gaming because they're such a silly gimmick trying to create 'interactivity' to a cutscene. Except they do not fit the middle of a trial battle at all: it literally becomes "Press O as fast as you can to not die". It's not about how good you play your class or Job, it just becomes a test at how fast you can hit a button. And it especially does not work in a MMO environment where one person slipping up wipes the entire party. For no other reason other than they couldn't mash a button fast enough.
How the Armoury System has been reduced to a confusing, convoluted mess with half a dozen different experiments added to it that never worked as they should, a result of SE trying to appeal to players demanding it be something like the FFIII/V/XI/Tactics Job System, not realizing it's original system of 'the weapon is your class and a Job upgrades from that' idea worked well enough. As it stands it's basically impossible to explain the whole system to a new player now due to all the alterations and exceptions to it (you start as a class that upgrades at level 30 to a Job but one class has two Jobs, and one class you can't start as but have to unlock at level 10, and then there are Jobs which don't have classes and start at a higher level, and then there is the 'Limited Jobs' etc etc). To say nothing of role abilities and people still using old guides which lists the scrapped cross-class ability system.

Half naked characters. I know that some boys have Washington Monument between the legs from seeing their character wearing full plate bikini but cmon...

Not dpsing healers and DPS players refusing to use AOE skills. I even had those two things in one dungeon. I bailed out, turned off the PC and went for a walk with my dog. There is always something good on a bad things...even when you have to help it a little.

Characters 'dying' only to come back not long afterwards.

[grinkdaboy]

mostly character customization things. au'ra horns tied to face, lack of variety in male faces and body types

glamour closet (wow's transmog system is perfection)

raid encounters being just rote memorization and if you make a mistake you wipe. i think if savage had more raid actions they'd be more fun

Cutscenes in Praetorium depending on the language setting.

People using Japanese and French audio (Not sure about German) have their cutscene before Gaius and Ultima end significantly sooner (long enough for them to pull and have English audio users get the "area sealed off!" message), then they pull early as noted without waiting for the rest of the party.

I do not care to use a language I do not speak for audio. I want to participate fully in these fights, not be basically carried because the fight is half over because someone was impatient ... And if you ask them to please stop pulling early before others are out of CS they ignore you or give a snide "why should we?" ...

I'm baffled that the language thing actually works that way. I know speedrunners of single player games often choose the language that is fastest for time saves, but an MMO not having a check in place to see if every party member finished a cutscene is a weird design choice.

Yeah, this should probably be considered a bug ...

Kugane jump sightseeing they make it impossible to climb, then the jump to the pole if you miss you have to do it all over again.

so I stopped I probably never get it because I decided its a huge time sync and a waste of my time.
