1. “G2G My mom needs to check her email…” child

This one will generally wait until you’re deep within an instance before speaking(If you’re lucky). After an hour or two of fighting just to reach the final boss…he has to go. Mommy is kicking him off his computer. While I have no problem with children playing MMORPGs(except the Lawl, phat lewtz noob I pwn your azz morons), these types of situations are some of the most annoying.

2. The Beggar

Picture this. You’re just minding your own business in Ironforge when suddenly a trade window pops open. While confusion sets in for this random trade exchange, you’re suddenly bombarded with tells from the assailant to give him money. S/he always has a variety of reasons of why you should(Abilities, Mount, No reason, etc) however they get UPSET at you for asking why they need it. After denying them your hard earned cash, they generally leave you with a few “choice” words.

3. Guild “Looter”

Every guild has seen a swarm of these, especially those trying to make a name for themselves. These are the people that join your guild, get the best gear you can offer them, then leave to join a guild higher up than your own. Constant “attacks” by these people are generally what make small/medium sized guilds practically stop trying. Or give up hope for humanity.

4. The Girl

I’ve seen one of these in every guild I’ve played in. You’ll recognize “The Girl” right off the bat. She’s the one that constantly throws out sexual innuendos, talks about her MySpace pics, and gives out links to “her” guildies of her posing naked or various other “activities”. Please note this is not a statement against all gamers that are “Ladies”. Grow up, kid.

5. The Alt Looter

As a Rogue and a Hunter, I’m pretty much constantly competing with other rogues, hunters, shamans, feral druids, fury warriors, etc for gear. I’m fine with that, it’s fair. This brings me to the “Alt Looter”. This is the person that, for example, will roll on DPS loot while they are Healing spec’ed. Getting alt gear sets when the item will potentially rot is fine, but taking loot from classes that need it now is just greedy.

6. The Know it All

Never question this person’s authority on any topic regarding the game you are currently playing. The “Know it All” is the person that hoards all knowledge and will quickly jump down upon anyone that says something that isn’t correct. Do they do it politely? Of course not. It generally involves calling the one at “fault” retarded, a newb, and other colorful words. I could go on..but I’m filled with rage.

7. Wife Aggro

When you start referring to your spouse as a faction, and the fact you’re still playing an online game is causing you to “gain aggro”, you’ve entered into a scary place. Or a funny one. However you cause your group nothing but grief when you leave claiming you have to gain points or you’ll not get food made for you anymore.
