MMO things that grind my gears
10 things that grind my gears when playing MMOs:
- porn site advertising by players who don’t play
- people who reply “yup” to everything!
- people who call “I get last hit!”
- people who try to emphasize their amusement by typing, “LOLOLOLOLLLOLZ” (always with a “z” at the end)
- voluptuous female art that attracts people to play games, when the in-game models are fugly
- game trailers with superb CG animation, but in-game graphics are “meh”
- people who correct others for misspelling “owned” with “pwned” (lighten up!)
- chatting about the polls, “who did everyone vote for?” (none of your bizness, pal)
- getting a temporary ban for something I did not do.
- having to change my name when I join a guild
I’m done for now.
