[Rant] Most annoying experiences with people online

One of the newest annoying experience I've encountered (in WoW) involves the new battleground AFK penalty. Where if you gain the status of <AFK> while in a battleground game, you're automatically kicked out with deserter status. So, a massive amount of players are constantly spamming "Type /AFK report to report all AFKers!"

I, while foolishly not understanding text commands fully yet, typed it. It was then that I realized the command simply first puts me on AFK status and then follows a subdirective to leave a message saying "Report." So, I basically get kicked out of the battleground with an away message.

All that learning from FFXI:Online gone to waste :(

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Only works on a select few mobs. At any rate they effectively lose an entire DPS member of their party because I'm too busy trying to keep something seduced. Then some dumbass keeps aoe'ing the entire area and blames me for not keeping enemy X under seduction. Ugh. Warlocks are NOT an effective means of crowd control, unless you are up against demons. Then we kickass . Banish & enslave.

Warlock CC vs humanoids with seduce is very flexible and do-able without too much frustration and hassle. If you want to know how I do it with my warlock while also DPSing at the same time (Probably at about a 25-50% DPS loss while CCing), I'll send you a PM.

Anyway, here's another pet peeve of mine in WoW:
Stupid people, when it comes to PvPing. I'm playing in a Alterac Valley game and I got killed so early on at Iceblood graveyard. Okay, Horde is trying to do a defensive game, but in their favor where their 3-5 man squadrons slowly cap all our junk. In the meantime of course, Alliance is just constantly feeding themselves to the slaughter.

I ask myself:
-Why do these people go in one at a time? (To bunkers and graveyards when there clearly is a group of Horde watching the place)
-Why do these people play so ignorant? (Of course the other team ISN'T going to stop and pick one guy to solo you. You are going to get ganged up on if you venture out solo!)

Since I ressurrected(?) back to our starting defenses, I decided to play defense and try to keep our bunker archers alive. I'm a warlock, so basically I just defend them.

At one point, I'm fighting off a rogue in the Dun Baldar South Bunker. This other ally warlock comes in and looks straight at the wall away from my little scuffle. THEN, he slowly turns around towards the fight like he's in first person view or playing with a keyboard only, no mouse, while doing nothing still. It was just one of those face-palm moments.

Immediately I thought to myself, "When are you going to attack the rogue who is totally not hammering you down with CC?" So I quickly type in say chat, "Take your time!"

I'm hybrid spec between Affliction and Demonology with Soul Link while also decked out in Vengeful Gladiator/Gladiator/Vindicator epic gear, so I'm tanking this rogue down for quite a while. Just when the other warlock decides to make his move, a shaman and two other rogues charge on in and kill us both.

Where the hell do these stupid people come from? Sure, we might of still died, but if we could of at least burned down that rogue, we could of killed one more before wiping. Bunker archer's 500-900 damage shots plus my DoTs and Nightfall procs, we had a chance. (As well as cumulative damage from his DoTs).

There's nowhere I can't reach.
