Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?
People* who run ahead of the rest of the group on a mission when they don't really know where they are going.
You know the joke about a given player being a blonde? Well, when someone fits the stereotype, you're constantly trying to disbelieve, and crying inside every time it happens. We were trying to do CoP 2-3 and she went like it was a race to the finish line. Except you all know what happens when you get to the "finish line" at 2-3, and none of us were ready when it happened. She even died twice along the way, as if that wasn't enough of a hint to wait the hell for everyone else. And there were two pick-ups we had who went the wrong way (to the subligar farming areas) because one of them "thought" there would be less aggro, without even waiting to see where everyone else was going. And then they rested at the top of the first ladder they found. Meanwhile, two of the group, including the one in the LS who actually needed the mission, hadn't even passed the first tauri room yet.
The best part was that it was way past my bedtime, and we only went because blondie thought she needed the mission. Guy who needed it was really wanting to do Nyzul and save CoP for the next night. When we get into Tav with the two pick-ups, that's when she asks what cutscenes she needs and I ask her what mission the game says she was on. "The Secrets of Worship". {/facepalm} Maybe I should have remembered she was part of the big group I helped guide through to Ouryu the other day, but it was way too late for me that night too.
*well that should be enough right there, of course
