For example
fighting games someone spamming a move over and over every round
playing music over the mic
some one who sounds like they are eating there mic

those second two
kids who sound like their balls are somewhere in the vicinity of their chest "insulting" everyone by saying they had sex with our mom/sister.

Needing to pee.

Three things that annoy me are.

1.Peaple how use the lines "your mom" or "thats what she says".

2.homophobic, racist 12 year old kids.

3.Hearing "solja boy" over som wiggers mike.

ive noticed those happening more on xbox live than on any online PC game ive ever played. one thing that annoys the hell out of me are those guys who play the game day in and day out and somehow can pull a head shot from 3 miles away on a fast moving target(aka me). also people who constently cry CHEATING when you are playing fair....or singling him out because he keeps crying CHEATING. also when people call other people noobs like its an insult, dude news flash, you were once a noob too, so give the new guy a little break.

people who ust bitch online and have no regard for others playing and just sound like complete pricks.
mainly the 10 year old kids who need a life

Four things for me.

1. People who think 10-15 year old boy gamers are all a bunch of useless immature idiots with no life. True, most of them ARE useless immature idiots with no life and I agree with all of your posts as I hate them too. However, I'm 13 and unlike the majority of my peers I was born with the gift of a functioning brain. There are a few others like myself, though not enough to get noticed very often. I just hate it when older people shun me the instant I mention my age without giving me the chance to prove myself. And even if I do prove myself, the instant they realise I'm technically a child everything gets awkward.

2. 10-15 year old male gamers who are nothing but a bunch of useless immature idiots with no life.

3. People with poor sportsmanship. (which sounds odd in the gaming context. Shouldn't we call it gamesmanship?)

4. Text talk. Now I understand if you're in the middle of a heated battle and can only type 'w8 a min' but if everything is calm and quiet you can at least learn how to communicate without using a demented form of code.

Also, whoever this Swift person is, I highly suggest he stop making odd posts which have nothing to do with the topic in question and only offer useless links and I humbly request that he bugger off.

hmm, let's see...

lags, hackers, little kids who act tough, ppl who call others noobs, thinking they are good but actually are noobs themselves, ppl who hates the game but still playing it... blah blah blah

Besides idiots, it would have to be people who sing anything. Seriously they can not sing and if they wanted to sing they should go play Rock Band and quit annoying us.

I hate children... all of them. GET OFF THE FUCKING MIC. Pricks. In addition, I hate having people blow on their microphone becasue they have no snappy retort to just being owned.

"You obviously have no life"
"Well.. umm.. *inhales* CHSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS *inhales* CHSSSHHHHHHHHHHSHSHSH"

Basically everything mentioned beforehand, plus:
The way-too-serious players who have a total plan worked out, and basically yell at any team member who fails or doesn't follow their "Master Strategy"

Crap_haT:
I hate children... all of them. GET OFF THE FUCKING MIC. Pricks.

Now here's a prime example of what I was talking about, no offense to you of course. I can understand why you hate child gamers; most are exactly as they are perceived. However, I mus ask that you not instantly hate me or anyone else like me the moment you learn how old we are.

Like any competent gamer, I play online games to enjoy playing with other people and improve my skills without having to go to any form of convention. However the instant I tell someone my age they seem to think that the only reason I'm there is because I'm bored and want to harass people. If people could just open their minds a bit maybe I'd actually be able to enjoy online gaming without having to shift my eyes when anyone asks me how old I am. All I want is to be judged by my mind and not my age, so please, anyone who has feelings similar to Crap Hat's, be sure to think about more than just a gamer's age when making judgements on their maturity and competence.

(I'm not targeting you in any way, Crap Hat, so please don't think I'm arguing with you. The only people I'm blaming are the ones who've given my age group such a horrendous reputation.)

that there are people online, especially seeing as most of them apparently only actually decide to log on and play after they suffer a severe hemorrhage in the brain.

A hemorrhage armed with flamethrowers, only with stupidity instead of fuel.

Bloody little punk ass kids who like to play karaoke over the mic then start bitching when they die or get told to shut up.

I was under the impression that when you're 13, you're actually supposed to act like an annoying moron. I don't think you're supposed to write texts like Gavaroc's (no offense).

The only problem perhaps is that instead of picking on their peers after school, they now go on Xbox Live to annoy us gamers. It has the added benefit for them that they can pick on "adults" (and I use the word loosely here) without being stabbed in the face.

Anyway, I try not to play on Live, and I've made it a point not to get online Achievements anymore ;-)

None taken. I never said I was a normal 13 year old, I just said I was a competent one. You're right, I'm the one disgracing my age group when you think about it properly. :P
If being 13 means being an idiot, thank god my next birthday is only a month away.

The key is to ignore and block the idiots because like with every common bully if nobody responds to them even their twisted sense of logic tells them that what they're doing is pointless. They exist to make fun of people whom they believe to be lesser than themselves. A lot of people say its because of a bunch of deep psychological reasons but really they do it because they don't have anything more amusing to do. It's human nature to seek entertainment; what the education department needs to do is show these idiots how to entertain themselves without pissing off others.

At this point, it's tough to really get annoyed, due to other stuff I do in my spare time that involves the Internet, but if I had to pick one thing, it would have to be the people SPAMming any of the overdone Internet jokes you see these days, thinking they are somehow funny and original.

Other people... although this really applies to everything in my life.

Why won't humanity die?

Other people. Always annoying, and more to the point, always significantly better than I am. Being beaten's fine, being reamed is no fun at all. Being reamed while some knob is screaming obcenities is even less fun.

Also, the trend that every single game has to have some multiplayer mode shoehorned into it, taking away time and resources that could be spent on making the single player better.

...that makes me sound really antisocial. Oh well.

EDIT: Gah! Beaten by Rusty.

Nice to meet you Gavaroc. Just a pity that for every one like you there are twenty out there who are pretty much the poster kids for "annoying".

Things that annoy me when online? I have an anecdote. this happened to a friend of mine, who is a very competent Guild Wars player. Like, REALLY competent, this guy owns. His necro/mesmer build is terrifying.

Anyway, he's fairly casual about playing. Mostly he prefers to do the co-op storyline missions than get stuck into the PvP, but occasionally he'll drop into a PvP team arena and look for a team to hook up with.

Recently, a team he offered to join told him to pop up his signature or something (I forget the exact term, it's the "pro" way that people are advertising themselves as good PvPers, apparently). When he said he didn't have one, the immediate response was a flood of "lol noob" from pretty much ALL OF THEM.

These guys were all cookie cutter builds - IWAY warrior/rangers, 50HP monks, that sort of thing. to their way of thinking, there is one and only one way to play the game - the "pro" way, invented by some other, greater player who actually had a goddamn brain. Never mind that this necro/mesmer build my friend uses absolutely destroys IWAY builds, never mind that he's an exceptional player of the game... because he doesn't use a "pro" build or have this record of every fight he's ever won, he's an automatic noob.

And of course, he can't begin to BUILD this record of every fight he's ever won because none of the teams will take him because he doesn't HAVE this record of every fight he's ever won because he can't begin to BUILD this record of every fight he's ever won because none of the teams will take him because he doesn't HAVE this record of every fight he's ever won because he can't begin to BUILD this record of every fight he's ever won because none of the teams will take him because he doesn't HAVE this record of every fight he's ever won because... ad infinitum.

THAT is the sort of stuff that truly annoys me in games. This prescriptivist "only these select few builds, tactics and behaviours work, the rest is noob and not pro go learn 2 play noob." attitude.

Ooh! Another thing: not being able to jostle your opponent like you would if they were on the sofa next to you- it's much more fun beating/being beaten by a friend than RandomOnlinePerson32.

Wow there sure are a large amount of new users. I'm not sure if I like that.

The main think that annoyms online would be people who are jerks, even if they are nice to me. Just because no one can se eyou that does not give you reason to be a jerk.

I think jerk sums up all the types of annoying people.

Well, there are quite a few things that annoy me...

1. People who hear my voice and do one of two things, or both. One, they begin to immediately call me a British (insert homophobic/racist "insult" here), despite the fact I am actually AUSSIE. Or two, assume I am your average young, early-teen gamer. Yes, I am 13, and no, I am not making that up.

2. People who say things that make NO sense. This is also one of my favourite things. I have a nice voice message of some twit saying "THE HALO IS IN AMERICA!" because I was talking about the lag in a match of Rumble Pit. You had to be there to understand it.

3. People who call themself "PRO!". Most of these people are not, in fact, "pro". They are usually average or above average, but they have won the last 3 games in a row, so they feel SWEEEET! I met many of these people on CoD4...

4. HAXXORS! I HATE THESE PEOPLE! Anyone who kills me is a haxxor, so I meet a lot of 'em...

And finally...

5. VERY young people playing games like Halo/CoD4. Yes, I know that hypocrisy stains this part of my post, but to be honest, I really get annoyed those little 4-8 year olds who seem like they only have a very basic grip on the control scheme of the game... God, I hate the pre-game and post-game lobbies... All the people going nuts at the poor youngin's...

its the same ituation every time and this is why i stopped playing frontlines
im a sniper (yea yea big ass anoying people without a life)and im a good one at that becouse i tend to kill the same person +- 5 times before i die (mostley becouse they are stupid and constantly run into my field of fire at exactly the same location as 2 minutes ago)but the thing that anoys me is that most people think its a good strategy to switch teams then and go teamkilling me happend to me 8 times now thats when i realized that i was wasting my life playing with these assholes.
never played that game again
oyea sorry for bad english

Admins abusing their powers.

I regularly bump into people either teamkilling to get the weapons they want, then kicking/banning anyone who calls them out/retaliates. Or just kicking anyone on the other team who has the sheer nerve to win.
Or switching all the players with a high k/d ratio to their side and everyone else to the other.

Lack of "server system" on Xbox Live.If Xbox Live had servers with active Admins, there'd be a lot less morons playing it. You're a retard > Kick & Ban.

Now while squeakers are annoying, on PC's people prefer to use chat(even if they have mic!) so it's a lot less of a problem either.

Now for things I hate:

Campers(That's why I left CoD4),"leet" snipers and the fact that Pyro is really weak on TF2(which I love to use as an excuse for being a terrible player :P)

Lag. I hate lag.

I don't have much experience with immature 10-15 year olds in multiplayer, probably because I don't play games where such people are common. The only games I have extensive multiplayer experience in are Age of Empires III and EVE Online. Neither seems to attract the immature idiot type.

I don't like it when I can't understand people on voicechat. The main source of this problem, in EVE at least, is accents. I interact with foreigners a lot - both in EVE and in RL - so I'm pretty good at understanding them. But when the person has their volume low, or they are pronouncing a system name (EVE systems have made-up names), it can be a problem.

klc0100:

some one who sounds like they are eating there mic

hehehe. I did that once because some shits on a server were saying they couldn't hear me, even though that's what I was asking over the mic. I got kicked, but not before hearing cries of "I'm deaf!" and "That's no way to get on our good side!" It was funny to me.

I had (have, you decide, I'm not giving my age) the same problem. I typed and people would laugh and find my points very interesting indeed. Then comes the question I used to be quite willing to answer. "How old are you anyways?"

Respect they once had plummets into the deep fucking pits, over what? Age? I may not have been in the world as long as you, but I seem to have a better fucking grasp of it. I'm not going to lie, I did (do) find it slightly annoying when people would not talk to you because they perceive you as immature due to age.

The good thing is I don't have a childish voice, even adults get beaten up over having a high pitched voice. (That's poor). So headset for me is no problem.

By the way, Gavaroc. Don't worry, I don't get offended easily. If I don't like you I will let you know. Quite the opposite so far.

Incorrect use of the term 'noob'.

Yes you killed me but it's likely your playing the most overpowered class in the game and I'm playing something I find interesting and challenging. I was also probably playing this game before you, checked plenty stats and strats on forums, tried every build of my character I could afford to and most of all you just got lucky.
