Hey I resemble that remark!

[Aegiis]

Kidz (yes, with a z) who pester you with daily PMs to get AVed, and then manage not to show up at the planned meeting.

Shows how reliable and serious they are. I pity their future employers.

[FACE]

Newbies who ask "which gun should I choose" or " which of these guns is the best" or " Should I get a sniper gun before an AEG" or "why can't you help me fix my POS gun that I paid $2 for", without using the search function FIRST.

Now that's legit beef.


For me it's the trend of "testing the waters" sales threads. It should not bother me but it does. Meh.

I'd like to point out a little observation I've had. All the "noobs" (let's say under 100 posts) complain about the "vets" (let's say over 500 posts) flaming them for asking questions, and all the "vets" are complaining about the "noobs" for asking questions . (note... this is a generalization for those of you with no sense of humor/creativity)

It'll probably be CoD still because MW3 is being released around the same time.

As for me, people who follow you too close and talk a lot.

Thanks. At least the coffee was good.

Related to yours, there is also the "this is a new / LNIB gun, only plinked/fired 2 mags/was a wall-hangher" BUT, somehow, magically, a piece is broken or missing, AND, amazingly, it NEVER affects anything.

Well, the engineers probably put that part there just so extra material would be wasted building it, right ??

And then, to top it off, they ask for a completely unreallistic and ridiculous amount of money...

And not posting pics in the sale thread... as it was to hard to do.

On the other hand...

People who don't take it seriously enough and show up with non-appropriate gear and equipment that doesn't work/breaks half way through a game.

And don't forget those individuals that require to be spoonfed quite regularily on the forums, neglect any helpful advice regarding their purchase options, insist on buying cheap shit, ask a million questions, can't be bothered to use the search function or google anything to help themselves with any obvious answers, cant be bothered to get age verified because "They dont have the time" yet somehow intend to make it out to games...

And finally label regulars here as elitists for making an effort to help them...

Yeah.

[Spawn28]

People who dont have pet peeves. That really pisses me off!
