Getting back on track, I too have had a mental list for quite some time now. Similar to my List of Issues with People in WoW I posted a while back, but this time it's issues with the game as a whole. This list is ongoing, building and building as time has collected since the last expansion came out. So I present to you:
Lantz's BETTER 'Things That Annoy Me' List v2.4.2
1.) The amount of tanking Paladins in the world that want to be Warriors. Any Tankadin that stacks STR should be given a 2H Axe, a free respec and a slap across the face.
2.) The boasters that claim "spell hit does nothing for me, but spell penetration... wowee! That increases my DPS 10fold!" Who only PvE, who don't scan over their damage meters and who think their DPS is amazing when people in greens are beating their epic-ass. This one is a bit specific, but I've been told this by 2 different people, so other morons exist; I'm sure of it. Spell penetration does NOT ONE DAMN THING for PvE, there is no possible way in existence I can stress this enough! Go read a website! Any caster that takes Spell Penetration over spell hit/dmg, Int, Stam, or Spirit(hell even Agi) deserves to be shot.
3.) Dwarves. I hate them so much. People normally hate gnomes, but if I was to ever level an Alliance toon, I would be a gnome. Something about a tiny tiny little guy kicking a giant guy's ass seems appealing to me. Stumpy Dwarves, on the other hand, are not my cup-o-tea. Maybe others like to waddle around, staring at Sleepy's ass all day. But not this man, Snow White was not that attractive.
4.) People who ask for advice, but don't really want it. If I'm doubling your DPS as the same class/spec as you, and you ask for my help, I assume you actually want my help. Maybe this is a crazy assumption, maybe the days of people saying what they mean went out with the successful-marriage rate for the US. But it seems to me that if you are wondering how my Shadow Priest is making yours look like a mana-battery that needs to be recharged, don't tell me where to put my talent points. I've said it before, I'll say it again; I know what's best - shove it.
5.) The Human dance-animation... Seriously...
6.) People who get ganked because they're flagged, then bitch about it. If you aren't on a PvP server, and you don't want to be ganked, don't flag. Simple as that.
7.) The Trade Channel.... still.
8.) People that say, and I quote, "Battlegrounds aren't real PvP. Arena is the only real PvP." That's like saying 25man raids aren't real PvE, only 5mans are. Even the other way around it sounds ridiculous. I'm sick and tired of Arena-fucks thinking that the only thing worth doing in this game is what they do. I hope you choke and die on your same-sexed life partner's private parts. The shear fact that a person 4-boxxed a 5v5 team and came out as #1 on his server makes arena enough of a joke as everything else in the game.
9.) Ret Paladins, with the exception of one, and only one I know that does fantastic DPS. Until you morons figure out that you should have rolled a Rogue if you wanted to mash buttons, no one will have any use for you. An extra blessing isn't as valuable as someone who can actually contribute to the group DPS.
11.) Locks and Mages that don't drop their respected cookies/food in BG's, ever. I don't drop them every single time, but I know of those who flat-out refuse to drop them ever. Get your head out of your ass and help the team. Every time a lock/mage doesn't drop a jar/table, god pisses on an infant. And no one wants that..
12.) How Warlocks are everywhere to be killed when on one of my caster toons. But when on my Rogue, the only thing that is flagged is Warriors.
13.) My tier sets looking really snazzy... until you see my oddly colored boots.
14.) Only two 10mans in the new content currently. This is obviously getting a massive fix in the expansion, but for the past 2 years it's kinda sucked.. Having 6(soon to be 7) 70's helps, but Attumen's face gets old after a while, whether you're in his face or at the back of the class chargin' your fiah bawl.
15.) Those not familiar with give and take.
16.) The mouth's on the level 40 riding Wolf. Seriously, my wolf looks like he's a fuck-stick from the south.
17.) Kids that play this game. All of them. Every fucking one of them.
18.) When I overwrite another curse over my CoD.... FUCK!!!
19.) How Outland, and all of its glory, will go unused once the expansion is out.. I realize that's the circle of WoW Expansion life, but it truly is sad. Where the old world sometimes felt thrown together, and not well thought out - Outland was simply well built.
20.) How after 2 years, I STILL don't understand the rules for Zang and Halaa world PvP.. Not that I've ever cared to participate or research what I should be doing, but it's still kind of an annoyance.
21.) STV. It's a love/hate relationship. At 30, you're pumped to be out in the jungle, but by the time you're 40 - you've seen your fair share of baboon ass.
