Top 10 MMORPG Players You Love to Hate

January 17, 2009 by srfto  

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?

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 : 325px-pop-up_ads

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 : geek-monkey

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.

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: sp-wow-gamer1

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.

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:lazy_american

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:windowslivewriteristhatslackerahiddenleader-7404slacker2

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:24_84_1197459112

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.

Who do you hate the most?

    Well I agree with most of it. I’m a MMORPG player (not hardcore but still a regular one) and I recognize these profiles in many players I’ve met along the way. Fortunately most players aren’t like any of these, but you’ll eventually stomp on at least an AFKer or a high-level noob. Yes, they do exist. And if you never met one, I bet one of your (real life or in-game) friends has. Just ask around.

    In the other hand, I can’t say I agree with the profile you set for GM’s. I haven’t had any complaint on that matter on any game I played so far.

    Anyway, this article was responsible for a general LOL here where I stand. We feel your pain ;)

    Poor article. The writer himself is a whiner, he’s probably experienced everything on this list, and is now complaining about it. Face it, you suck at games.

    #11 The moron blogger.
    Your take on pretty much every category is wrong. Flat wrong.
    1: Your girlfriend wants your attention. If you genuinely fault her for that you need help.

    2: Gold Farmers usually keep a low profile on purpose, they don’t grind at level cap because they want to avoid attention. The throw-away accounts used to spam trade are irritating, but the blame falls on those who buy the product, not the ones who found a market.

    3: High level noobs… You are one. Your perspectives on the games show a lack of insight into almost every detail, but enough general knowledge to submit a pretense of experience. I’m sure you’re terrible at whatever game you’re playing, and that’s okay, everyone learns somehow or they give up. It’s assuming you’re correct that creates the situations you moaned about.

    4: Puberty, what a terrible thing to fault someone for. Lack of maturity dissipates with knowledge and experience alone. Get some of either.

    5: Couple Gamers. Being married to a woman who games, I have to say that this was about as far from correct as one can get without intending to be wrong.

    6: GMs are an amazing help in almost all situations where you might need them. No, they can’t stop you from getting camped. You were stupid to ask. Just because they have to refer your problem to a specialist or do some research doesn’t mean they weren’t helpful.

    7: Your obvious lack of knowledge regarding top-end guilds was probably the most entertaining portion of this entry. Top end guilds function at such a high level by design. They rejected you because you would probably slow them down. Protip: they require being geared to get in because it’s indicative of previous performance, as well as convenient.

    3,8 and 9 should have been combined, but I understand a top 10 list sounds better than a top 8 list. Players that slow down your group are inevitable. Whining about the inevitable makes you a #10.

    You get nothing. Good day sir!

    +1 to Souldrain.

    I admit I only played WoW to lvl 43, but I was a runescaper back when it was sorta coolish. To lvl 97.

    Point being, I’m not just trolling when I say this list kind of sucks. I think I agree with the ‘couple gamers’, but as I recall, some of them were the best mannered, highest leveled, and most adept players I’ve met.
    The list completely fell apart at number six, with GMs. I mean, come on. I don’t feel like I have to justify myself much here; Blizzard chose them for a reason.

    My comments don’t really make a great point. I’ll just give a bow to Souldrain and exit. I won’t be back.
