I don't subscribe to ageism, or discrimination in any form. With that being said, my bad raid experiences have all been from raiding with kids that are impatient, rude, and take inconsiderate to a whole new level. I'm truly amazed that these kids can get anything done with the amount of toxic vitriol that they spew at everyone around them like a monkey throwing his feces.
Now I try to find groups with other mature adults and try to avoid them.
On the topic of pet peeves... when people are having full conversations with their siblings, friends etc, while trying to raid (and it's usually a kid)... man that irritates me. Raids require communication, and the ability to communicate clearly becomes difficult and opaque when some clown shoe is chatting it up with their little brother or friend. Case in Point: War Priest a few nights ago, couldn't hear any directives (Knight status, plate sequence, etc... because some kid was chatting incessantly to his brother about Borderlands. He did calm down a bit once we told him to STFU and explain "This is why people hate raiding with squeakers".

I had a guy earlier this week who the entire raid was chatting with his Roomate. The best part was he was explaining the raid to his Roomate while ignoring us. He maybe talked to us twice throughout the entire raid but left his mic on the entire time. He even ordered some take out with his mic on. When we got to oryx we wiped twice before he finally told his Roomate that if we didn't get it this try he was gonna bounce. It was the most awkward group chat id been in I think. Not sure if he realized his mic was on the entire time or not.

wow I probably would have kicked that guy on the spot and blocked him after that last part. I understand people occasionally having to say something to someone irl, but constant chatter is a no-no.
