Ok we all have them.. but I am going to list them out because sometimes people just don’t realize what they say or do annoys others. I’m being nice and giving you the benefit of a doubt. Take it and never do it again. Ever.
Priest Pet Peeves
- Do NOT call me priest. Yes that is my class it is however not my name. By calling me priest you are literally dropping me down to the same level as a dog or cat. “Priest heal.” “Priest buff now.”
- Do NOT whisper me out of the blue with “Heal me.” I don’t care if you are standing right next to me it is still considered out of the blue. It is also a pet peeve because you are ordering me to do something. Again I am not your dog or cat. “Can you heal me real quick?” See. You can ask politely. Amazing.
- Run back to the instance after a wipe like everyone else! No, it is not my job to be the only person to run back and raise you while you stare at your screen. Trust me, I will pretend I don’t see you and you will waste more time.
- Dear Warlocks: Your life tap gives you an amazing ability to regenerate as much mana as you see fit. It does NOT however give you a free pass on sitting your ass down and eating food like the rest of us. Do NOT jump around me during downtime with less than 500 health while I am eating and drinking. No I will not heal you.. instead I will give you one of those wonderful food items our mage conjured for us a few moments before we started.
General “I Hate You” Pet Peeves
- Repair. Yes, you know you are about to raid or go into an instance.. repair. Omg please repair. If you are our tank and you state that your shield is broken after the first wipe I will hit your nose with a newspaper until you learn.
- For the love of god it is “What” not “wat.” I can’t stand it when people shorten words that have no need to be shortened. Typing one or two extra letters will not kill you or waste any time at all. “wat” “wut” “ur” There are more but it’s too traumatic for my brain to remember.
- People who run in instances to avoid a repair bill. Yes, repair bills suck. I know they suck, but for god sakes be a man and die like the rest of us. By running back out of the instance you waste time because I have to wait in my ghosty form until you leave before I can get back to my body. So thank you for wasting more of our time because you don’t want to add to your repair bill.
- People who try to make me feel guilty for a drop I’ve won. I know you wanted it too. I know it sucks. I’ve lost rolls myself and did a nice loud /facedesk. It left a mark. You win some you lose some, it’s life. Get used to it now.
- Pulling people into a boss fight as raid leader only to receive a whisper with “Noooo, I don’t want to be put in for this. I want to be put in for blahblahblah.” … pretty self explanatory.
- Please don’t take the chest/quest item/quest mob/herb/mine/etc. that I just spent 10 min clearing to. Ok Ok I get it. It’s not technically “mine.” It’s called courtesy.
- Don’t threaten that you’ll quit after a patch. You’re a liar. You know it. I know it. Blizzard knows it. Your post/trade spam is not filled with valid points that some random blizzard game developer is going to see and think “Zomg! He’s right! We’ve got to fix this! Or we could lose an account…out of our 11 million.”
What are your pet peeves?
