Transitions that are to big that when using keyboard move i end up warping back to previous area. (North Cultural district to Government district)

Transitions that face the wrong way especially if a door's involved. (The door on the top most area of Isle ruins)

When i examine someone, excited to read some good juicy well made description and i get : "Your only hope for fame and fortune, and to escape the life of a commoner, was to become an adventurer. Guided by your goals and dreams, you have set off in search of excitement."

Type -description (insert description here without the "()")
And use -description + (text here) to add a new paragraph to an existing description.

That really makes me /not/ want to RP with someone.

Come on. Are you ten feet tall? Are you monstrously ugly? Do you have sparkling blue eyes? Should I be swooning in response to your beauty or running away in fear? Give me something to work with!

In that situation, when you RP trying to examine someone, specifically seeking out certain bits of information that should be clear from just looking, and get no response.

It's so...intensely pretentious feeling, and a huge turn-off. I'd rather see nothing than "RP."

I always just assume there are some twists and turns in the cave between where I go in on one side and where I come out on the other, but no encounters happen on the way.

Spawns that appear inside and on top of doors and transitions.

I CAN SEE THROUGH THE DOOR. ITS NOT AN AMBUSH.

When someone talks in Abyssal and all I can see on my screen is "Oogooboogoo", or each of those syllables jumbled up into a different order.

Dying to a wild surged thunderclap on the second spell you cast on a fresh level 3 when you just wanted to cast mage armor on the summoned creature.

The irrational fear that whoever I want to talk to will vanish before I get to a speedy.

Hmm. I get the feeling that this is directed towards Jarreyn.

When people don't send you a courtesy tell if they can't meet with your character after you've sent them a speedy, or they're going to be a while. What's worse is when your established main has no trouble getting that 'callback', but when you hop on a newer character under a different handle, you get crickets. You are NEVER too busy to send that tell. Sad!

When you crash and hurriedly log back in, only to find those 15-30 seconds were far too long for the person/people you were RPing with to wait.

When a faction seriously expects its new members to haul rocks for them.
