Everyone’s got an enemy or rival in their favorite MMORPG somewhere. If you don’t hate anyone, then I’m sure someone is hating on you. Ever tried for a spot in a guild, group or raid but didn’t make it? We know deep down somewhere you would just rip that persons keyboard apart so he can miss the event you wish you were on. Here are some of my hated list, in no significant order but just from what came to head first.

1. The Girlfriend
You all know who your significant other is (MMORPG player or not).

I’m sure you all love them one way or the other, but when the gaming time begins they start getting all needy or “monarchy” on you. “Hunnie are you ready for bed?”, “Can you help me with the dishes?“. Either that, or “Hunnie aren’t you tired of that game already?“, “Can you grow up and stop playing games like a little boy?“. Any of you guys watched the movie “Click“? Don’t you wish you had that remote to mute and fast forward? If they game with you, you may even hate them more, do I really need to explain?

Face it they are basically equivalent to :

2. Gold Farmers
Employees from gold selling companies that grind the game for currency to sell off to other players.

Farmers usually grind the same place over and over every hour of the week. They don’t talk to other players or even realize there are other players around  doing a quest. If they do talk to you, you won’t be able to understand them and will they ninja loot everything. Plus they spam the chat with their advertisement or even privately messaging you about it.

Face it they are basically equivalent to :

3. High Level Noobs
A new player that reaches level cap and go on a high end dungeon with other players.

They are the reason why you’re going to spend three to five hours in a dungeon. Even though other players in the group will tell them how to work the dungeon or where to go inside, they seem to find a way to just mess it up and usually wipe the whole group. However, even after learning the steps to the dungeon they still make the same mistakes over and over leaving us to wonder if we are playing with five year olds.

Face it they are basically equivalent to :

4. The Gamer on Vent going through Puberty
Players usually use Ventrilo to communicate with other players thus letting us listen to them go through puberty.

It’s bad enough we have to listen to your cracking voice, but to actually take three to five hours of it then it should be called torture. The worst part of all this, is they are the ones that screams through the vent over every small little detail in the game. On our part we would love to tell them to shut up, but for the first few times to hear it. It is just down right funny.

Face it they are basically equivalent to:

5. Couple Gamers
Real or fake boyfriend girlfriend players that stick together like glue in the game.

Sooner or later you will be dragged into their bullshit fights. Either that or you will have to withstand their undying love for each other in the game. They will always be on together in the game leveling and asking you for help. If you ever catch one of them on without the other, that is considered cheating and in the end you will be the one to suffer when you hear them fighting about it. However, after two hours of fighting you will hear them say ” I’m sorry snookums lets go level together”.– *BarF*!

Face it they are basically equivalent to:

 

6. The Game Masters
GM’s are the so called “Moderators” of the game and usually help people if they have a problem with bugs, etc.

GMs don’t help at all, in fact they are just as clueless as any other players when it comes to bugs or problems with the game itself. They are instructed to give you the universal fix of the game for any of your problems, aka “restart the game“. You lose an item because of a bug, Restart. You are flying in the air and can’t come down, Restart. People are hacking your account, Restart. If all that restarting fails they will instruct you to wait it out or send a letter to people that actually can help you with the problems. Other than that, we all have to suck up to these egotist players that were selected to be GMs.

Face it they are basically equivalent to:

7. Top Guilds
Guilds that are rated one of the best in the game and will tackle any high end dungeons that are in the game.

Good luck trying to get into one. They are harder to get into then getting a real life high paying job. Top guilds usually have a couple of requirements before you actually can be a low class member of their guild (slave worker). Usually you must be geared up the butt which makes you wonder why would you want to join if you are already geared. Then you will be in a interview process where they will ask you questions that are impossible to answer unless you spend everyday going through the game for every small details. Most importantly you must be exactly like them in the game and off it. Meaning if they play 24/7, you play 24/7. They think something is funny, you think its funny. They want to kick someone because they couldn’t play 24/7, you must agree to kick that person too. Usually, they take the fun out of the game and it just becomes a job for the gamer.

Face it they are basically equivalent to:

8. The AFKer
Player that are away from their keyboard most of the time.

If you are doing any kind of dungeon or quest they usually go afk midway and coincidentally come back when its all finished. For most gamers they would wait until the afkers come back, but that will lead to wasting two to three hours for doing something that would had taken only hour or so. We all know they go Alt-Tab and load up their weekly tv shows or movies and watch that while everybody waits on them. I guess instead of actually playing the game the way it’s supposed to be played they put in their own waiting game into the mix. (yes, yes, you need to go potty)

Face it they are basically equivalent to:

9. The Slacker
Players who don’t do much in groups either healing players or damaging enemies.

The slackers can be identified when they are very well geared and their healing or damages is on the bottom of the chart. They usually stand there and press one button throughout the whole way. While this will cause many wipes in the group they will be the first one to say its not their fault or go forever apologizing and making you feel sorry that they suck.

Face it they are basically equivalent to:

10. The Whiners

Players who whine about the game non-stop.

We have to ask them why do they still play the game if it is so bad. They usually spam their problems and always end up saying another game being better. Everybody will get into this useless argument with this player and it just goes no where. They feed on the players angry remarks because they have nothing better to do. Plus they know players can’t ignore them since they know its basically insulting the people that play the game.

Face it they are basically equivalent to:

Some of these guys may or may not be true to you, but they definitely are to me. A last special note, the female players. As much as I may hate playing with them, I still want to. I’m a sucker. Spare me the lecture if you’re one of them and feel free to share who you hate.
