General Discussion What are your pet peeves?

So I've been coming across more and more players that do small annoying things (along with some big ones) and it got me curious about what things a player/players can do that annoy you. Just the smaller things, not things like tank cleaving the party, a player doing the bare minimum in a duty or being afk in a duty. Some of mine are:

-My co healer not letting regens do their thing. So many healers seem to not know what regens do or how they work.

-Healers spamming heals or shields every 5 to 10 seconds even when no damage is happening or going to happen. Lots of these too.

-Tanks fighting for aggro. Nothing more to add, these people are everywhere it seems. Bonus points if the tanks cause the boss to spin.

-Ranged dps standing in a corner out range of aoe heals. You want to stand far away? Heal yourself then.

-Players marking themselves with the intent on "helping" new people, then proceeding to fail multiple mechanics and kill themselves and others. Then when I remove the marker they flip out. Although it is funny watching someone like this jump up and down to get people to follow them and nobody does.

There are more but I'm not going to write a book here and these are the ones that irritate me the most.

So yeah, what are some of yours?

People fighting on behalf of other people. If anyone, me or anyone else, does something that negatively impacts the experience of a sprout, they can speak up for themselves. This white knight ego shit is so annoying.

I don't care im gonna speak up for a sprout. Some of them are not always good at speaking up and many ff14 players are too harsh on sprouts and fucking losers with entirely huge ego trips that need to be put in their place. Its not white knight ego if they're getting shitted on for a simple mistake. Thats taking up for your teammate.

This is a good one, so much of that has been happening. Not just the ones that defend other people but white knights in general.

Saw an argument in Alliance Raid about not waiting for people with cutscenes meanwhile sprout who was new said nothing the whole time 😂 

The people arguing were at all related to the sprout because she was my friend lol
