You know what realy grinds my gears

Blind invites! Seriously, I love grouping with people and working towards a common goal. In fairness, that's the sort of socialising this game leans towards.

However, if I get a spammed invite without any prior communication, forget it. There I would be, minding my own business, running a story mission or maybe waiting for pvp to pop when SWOOSH!! "accept/decline?" AAAAHHHHH who are you and why are you spamming me? Did I wrong you in another life!!!!

 

It takes all of 5 seconds to whisper me to see if I'm busy or not, and about 80% of the time I would have been happy to bounce across the game with you in a group.

They can even make me swear at my screen if they do it twice!

The costume/character generator. One of the biggest things that sparks peoples imaginations about Star Wars is all the aliens and what do we get?

 

Human

Blind Human

Human with pieces of metal stuck on the face (cyborg)

Red Human

Blue Human

Albino Human

Green Human

Human with horns (Zabrak)

Twilek

 

It's pathetic.

 

You put Twilek apart from humans yet it is just a human with tentacles.

 

None of the characters models are particularly "interesting", they are all the same with added bits.

- Not being able to copy my character onto the PTS so I can help test

- Where is Ancient Hypergates? Or at worst some information about whats going on

- All the new players are bads

- The "state of the game" post doesn't make sense

 

 

(still love this game)

impoliteness.

I never invite people to an op/fp/planet heroic i advertise for if they dont even have the politeness to say please or thank you.

If i do a pug and someone doesnt say thank you, they go on my ignore list.

If someone asks aa question on general and i reply, i expect a thank you. if i dont get one, ignore list.

Anyone who ninjas gear or quest boxes in black hole, i ignore.

anyone who uses the word noob gets ignored.

anyone who says "is that all the gear you have??????" in pvp, i ignore.

 

generally politeness folks, it doesnt cost anything to be nice and makes everyone elses day that bit better.

go on, you know you want to .... and if you dont, you wont get help from anyone apart from other people like you ... who will backstab and steal from you all they like :)

enjoy your choice.

The only thing that annoys me is that there are Untamed Tauntauns on Hoth, but I can't tame one!

 

Dang, I would love one of those as a mount!!!

 

Otherwise, until you pay my Sub fee, I can play the game any way I want to. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

They're probably queued for warzones or waiting for guildies to log on to do an Op.

People who think their doing good things but expect something in return. That grinds my gears and they get put on ignore. Few things worse than a pretentious wanna -be saint with ulterior ego-boosting motives.

So you're rude to people because of completely imagined slights? And that's a good thing because...?

Well said!!! Accept that there are people of all types here - expecting everyone to act a certain way is foolish.

So if they don't grant you your perceived right of positive reinforcement you ignore them? I help people to help people, not because I expect a "thanks".

 

I can't even begin to understand why people should say please to join a group that you also benefit from. Imagine people saying: "Sir can I please help you push your car to the nearest gas station?" Nope. They're more likely to say "Did you need help with your car? I can provide assistance." No please there so I guess you would ignore them.

 

Or maybe in response to an ad "Help Wanted, House Paint" do they respond by saying "Oh please sir may I paint said house?" Likely not, they will state something along the lines of "Well I am interested in this posting and I have 3 years experience"

 

Sounds like someone has some self-gratifying issues and needs to be constantly provided with feedback.

Most likely those people already did all their stuff before you logged in.

Exactly this. If I'm logged on at the fleet that usually means I'm queued for a LFG. I raid with my guild and since everything is on farm I don't need to do any KP or EV versions and the rest is farm for my guild.

This. I also don't like how I have to pick from a number of pre-built faces and bodies and that all the choice I get oh except for 100000000 scars I can pick from. This is the guy I have to look at in every cut scene and dialogue and BW couldn't manage to give some choice in look. Maybe its the stylised graphics or the hero engine but its woeful in todays MMO.

When I take out a mob or fighting one, and someone comes out of nowhere and takes my mission item or loot.

Argh that happens to me so much in this game. I've resorted to just grabbing the item first when possible and then fighting the mobs. It's especially annoying when there are other mission items around that they could get without having to ninja yours lol. :rolleyes: If there's only the one item and someone is fighting a mob guarding it I will wait my turn, but I do not see that very often from other players.

Well, try to understand that not everyone plays the game for the same reasons you do. People also may not have the same schedule as you. People may have a group of friends/guildmates that they reserve there lockouts for. there are other things in the game to do other than what YOU want to do. The qeue system is screwy as well, I can see why peeps dont like using it. If they made it cross server that would be nice but they cant even get it working 100% in single server, they may well destroy the game if they tried cross server at this point.

 

RL example: Many people would chose to hit the bars New Years Eve, I'd rather find a secluded cabin in the woods, bring my dog, a couple of good books, my day pack, a bottle of Makers Mark, and a few good friends. Neither I nor the bar hoppers are 'wrong' we just have different tastes.

 

EDIT: Opps forgot. What irritates me about this game is they followed...no...outright COPIED the WoW model. Yet they failed to copy the parts that kept people into WoW, whatever those may be. Probably different for each player I guess. Eg. PVP: They copied the mechanics of WoW's WZ and picked the crappy ones. Why couldnt they copy AV?! I loved Av. Huttball is the only original WZ they have. And bravo on that BTW. Its challenging even with a compitent group. I wish they had held to their guns with some of the original ideas they had when they first started. Talent system is another one. Its is WoWs. Copy/paste...BOOO! I say take a look at TSW talent wheel system, and apply that to the base classes and get ride of the advanced classes all toghether. Just use more actives and passives. No need for dual spec when you can just swap out your abilities on the go. No need to rerun a class story, unles you liked it and/or want to see how it plays out light and darkside. ( Which I am doing with the IA).
