Things in maplestory that rustle your jimmies.

When people say "cc" when they mean "channel".
Is it really that bad to just put "ch"?

Haha, I have similar problems with "killing a mob". It doesn't piss me off or anything, it just disconcerts me because to me, a mob is a group of things. I wonder where this mob = one monster usage came from.

When a person sends a trade/party invite again after you decline.

Or when people defame you after you decline. I get that at Aswan a LOT.

How boring it is to level: spam the same button over and over.
When hackers swear they're legit when everyone knows they're not.
The community in general.

Douche. Bag. Hackers.

Every single one of them. It's amazing how little remorse these assholes have for other players.

Playing.

Waste of RAM.

Wow, cool. The first game-specific usage of "mob" that I ever heard was "mobbing", which seems to be related to the mundane definition rather than the abbreviation, so I was really confused when I came back and first heard the abbreviation-based "mob" -- almost as confused as I was by pot(ion) vs. pot(ential)

Cheaters (Hackers, Glitchers, dupers, etc.)
Beggars (ccplz, mesoplz, -insert party skill here-plz, etc.)
People who waste money on Smega
People who KS you (Even though they can't since I dominate the map, but still.)
Why leveling is still slow considering there is limited places to train on once you're high level. (People even at level 165+ still train at LHC)

And my biggest gripe is: Management of the game.

- almost as confused as I was by pot(ion) vs. pot(ential)

I've abbreviated the latter as pote for that reason, since potential came out, we already have "pot".

People who sell equips for rl money

People who buy equips with rl money.

People being forced to basically buy equips for real money because management is so incompetent that you'd need to have 5 times the amount of max mesos just to get the basic Cygnus equips, you can forget about the clean weapon unless you're coughing up cash/real money or you can take your chance and cube for even less returns.

Also, Large Holiday Surprises with assorted junk when all I want is funky fashions for my Phantom. Fuuuuuuuuuuu.

-Arrows dropping from monsters, it's 2012 dammit!
-Potions that are too low-leveled dropping from higher monsters (UNAGIS).

Hypocrites.
Offering lower than the stated C/O.
Trade being cancelled after I offer.

As a mage, unagis are the perfect chunk of HP healing :'D It's the mana elixirs that truly dumbfound me. 300-MP increments at level 160+? Really? Is the discrepancy between mage/nonmage MP massive to that point?

Nope. Even my Bowmaster used to use Red Bean Sundaes up until the Evan card was introduced and more or less eliminated the need for MP pots.

That, and PoT (Time Pieces) too. It's really god awfully annoying as using "cc" instead of "ch."

The people who try too hard to be cool, i have never seen so much fad-riding, hash-tags and completely nonsensical abuse of the english language in a MMO before and after playing this.

Disconnects. I actually D/C'ed 10 times while trying to max Aswan coins today.

The community. That's right at the top of my list. And basically what the game has become, it just gets worse each year. Everything revolves around money - mesos, nx, real cash, even friendships.
