I'll get the ball rolling, because there's a lot of these out there, and it can be therapeutic to vent on them. Trust me.
1. "Respec" or respecialization of character skills in a given MMO, being spelled "Respect". RESPECT? It's an extra letter! WHY!?
2. "..." people who have to say everything with a lot of... William Shatner style... ellipses... to sound... really pretentious...
3. Random capitalization of Words, usually Nouns, in a given statement, especially on The forum. Unless the shift Key is going rogue on people, I have no idea why this Happens.
4. For the roleplayers: STOP SMIRKING. It's not even a valid response to anything. All you do is make yourself seem like Dubya Bush. Or maybe the intent is to seem really smug like Generic Cliche Metrosexual Anime Antihero With White Hair #69276643.
Any more?

Ellipses are usually used to imply that you're not cutting off your statement as sharply.
I.e. "I'm not really sure... but that might work."

I've seen this complaint posted before.
And I agree with it wholeheartedly, though it almost seems to much of a cliche that nobody doesn't it anymore anyways.

As a clarification, I refer to ellipses at the end of a statement in particular. There is no reason to add two extra periods, except to end a Star Wars opening crawl, or maybe to sound like a pretentious ass...

I abuse the ellipsis as well...
Mostly it is signifying that I am continuing my thought process or interrupting it with a tangent.
I however agree and really despise "Fraction".

For some reason, people using "toon" to describe their "character" really boils my p1ss.
We're not playing cutesy fantasy online trash, this is EVE. You had a character. This is shown, in one example, by the "select character" screen. You do not have a 'toon'.
Repeat after me: "I do not have a toon." __________________________________________ "In girum imus nocte, et consumimur igni."

I think it's rather funny, to be honest.
Pet peeves? Okay, how about:
Unoriginal names
Especially when they are typoed. Like killer23, clOUDsstrife, MaGcywer, Bhatnam, baathamn, sepirottt etc. Ok so you couldn't get your favourite wussy idol's name - You should be grateful, people may not take you for an idiot afterall. But no, you must go and typo it because it's already taken. You are of course the real one.
And what's with the 31337357 upper and lower case letters? Truly, hANk dORK impresses me. And I admire ToNy TrUbADuR. Keep it up fellas.
Unoriginal corp names
"Interstellar Galactic Production Enterprises". Please. Was "Meaningless ClichFs And Pretentious Mediocrity" taken already?
Unoriginal bios
Notify: your ego is largely disproportionate to your abilities. Your attempt to impress anyone with your wrecking hits is laughable at best.
Are you a poor Minmatar? Abused as a child, slaved away in the Nike asteroid fields your whole childhood? Suddenly turned into a hero, freed yourself in a rambo struggle and lead your people to revolution? Thank you sir, would you please step into the line. Here, you are number #2545234251. Next!
Simple concepts
...are not hard to grasp. If you mine Veldspar, it is not free. It is still worth it's market value. You invested time into it. That time is off something else. If you still think it's free, let me have some until you don't.
When you log in, you accept certain risks. Stop blaming other people.
You are not a psychologist. Well, maybe you are, but most of you are not. Don't think you can draw conclusions about someone's OOG persona based on your ill-conceived theories.
EVE is a game. Simple thing, sometimes hard to remember.

I highly endorse this product and or service.
Whiners are my personal pet peeves, people that think just because they:
1) pay $15 every month 2) spend a lot of time in game 3) are vets
that they're better than everyone else, and their opinions must be listened to. Because, obviously, someone who's done the mining and industrial grind for their whole life in EVE know all about PvP and how to fix it, better than combat veterans or the devs themselves.

My dislikes include non-descriptive thread titles and people who don't understand the game and complain about it on the fora, but are in that 'sweet spot' between 'slightly off' and 'ludocris' wherein it is not much fun to flame them back into the stone age. ----------

1 week old players that start the game, and almost immediately come onto the forums with posts that say, 'ok all this has to go,,,'.
Also comments which don't have any kind of wider scope in relation to the issue.

Wholeheartedly agree about the "toon" thing.
Also, when LOL is used as a word, for example: "I LOLed at that!". Also, I really doubt people really laugh out loud as often as all the "LOLs" would have you believe.

I am with you all the way here. DarkAndScary101 (and variants) just ****es me off, but what I REALLY hate is the people who have names of characters for things, and then **** them up in some way. Sefiroth and his kin need shooting, but another thing which ****es me off is blatantly character names from another source, even if you get them right (like Josh Calvert). Even worse though, is the people who can't get them right, so they take two vaguely related names, usually from the same universe and combine them into a huge mutated ball of abhorrent fail and lose.

QFT, and a fine turn of phrase I might add. Also the use of 'quest' and 'guild' in Eve make me frown.

ok my pet peeves......... Role players. Quit Crossing Universes!!! This is not vampires the masquerede, this is not D&D, this is not WoW. There should be no bios that say how you are an intaki necromancer, or how the blood causes you to feed and hear voiced like a Malkavian. this is eve not other rpgs. so please if you are going to drink blood, tie it into the blood raiders some how. and if you have magic. ill come and kill you for free and save you the humiliation you deserve. Animal chars: I have no real problem about are population that thinks they are animals, but they have better have a hell of a story to back it up. Gene splicing, DNA mishaps during a cloning process, etc you know something believeable. >_< although i have read some out there. Remember if you are going to roleplay on eve make sure you have a very believable story to fit the eve universe
Please read eve-chronicles before you try to role play.
1337 sp34k: This died after ultima online. only pk's on UO were allowed to use this and even then you had to be a cool pk. ie. dont use it in eve.
Empire chats: Stop roleplaying, please I try to ask questions about amarr or caldari ships and all i get from people is "You sinful Gallente scum" So guys just stop that, people often times are just asking for help because they wanna learn.
// end rant for now.

I have to admit, i saw this and i was all set to go, i have a big list
Come on, whats wrong with the '...'
I have absolutely no idea why i do this, i never used to do it... now i do it all the time for some reason.
I know what pretentious means, im not quite sure where i fit in tbh...
Anyway, i just thought id post.. i found it amusing you mentioned that.
Weird realy, im not quite sure how that would annoy people.
If i were to think about myself, id just call it expressive.... it's hard to come across on a screen the way i would to people face to face, it's one of those little things that i spose makes me atleast think im coming across to people with a little bit of me showing out in the manner i would face to face...
It's all in the head though for sure

Edited by: Evelyn Lavi on 24/11/2006 01:13:18 Here's a few more about the roleplayers:
Bios with pretentious bad poetry in them. Especially crap about darkness or other vagaries. It's much easier to mutter nonsense about how mysterious you are then to admit you don't have a good backstory behind it, I suppose.
Here's an example. Yes, a real one, this one from SWG. "The extent of my power will remain unknown..." Yes, even with the ellipses.
"Be safe." Why do people say "be safe" ESPECIALLY in EvE? If you're safe, you're not getting ahead. No risk, no isk!
