I have a bird that some people get annoyed by, so unless im playing with my crew, i mute my mic unless im saying something. This one time i said i got the brand, during the oryx cp. 'Did he get it' 'Yeah i said i did' 'Guys does he have the brand?' 'Idk hes not talking' -looks down and thinks crap....- -guardian down- 'Scrub didnt tell us he had the relic' -you have been removed from the fireteam- That was the very first run. Lol.

It sux cause i sometimes am the daycare guy lol..it sux cause im leading the raid and giving the orders and making calls so i cant mute my mic.

[b]that guy[/b]- The one who says he is better and always brags but always dies and blames you. [b]the replacer[/b]- Someone who joins the party when you are at the boss, and they scream until you are booted and they get your fatebringer...

The 10 year old little shit who wants to give you tips on level 28 PoE even though you and your friend are above 300 light. There should be an auto mute based on age or maturity.

The "I know what I'm doing kid"- [i]This is the kid who says he knows every nook and cranny of the raid. He says he's 410 light and can kill any raid boss with his pinky. However, you get into the encounter and he starts asking "Wait, how do I not get killed by the oculus?". He then starts dying a lot and in every encounter. He then blames the rest of the team for having to wipe, as he sits the corner dead. [/i]

The musician- plays their guitar or other instrument between matches or bosses

The flight attendant- this guy has the loudest washing machine ever, which he is using as a couch. Literally sounds like a jet engine.

The Fallen- The guy in the group that dies and thinks that means it is time to take a nice long break. Usually punctuated by someone reviving him and him dying again because he wasn't there. Typically upon return complains he wasn't revived.

I'm little timmy.😏

Hahaha! I used to be the Home Theatre Enthusiast guy now I'm more of The Lurker guy.

The twat: That one person who screams and yells YES!! after getting bad loot.[spoiler]It happens.[/spoiler]

This absolutely made me laugh :). Good job

Have to be number six but instead of speaking English I speak Hindi to hid it

Number 8 made me hear [i]The Great Sea[/i] from The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. Dang it man, I just got that out of my head, now I will hear that all day at work lol

I also usually have myself muted so people don't hear me drink/cough/sneeze/talking to someone else. Then I wonder why everyone ignores me until some goes "I think st3ck is muted" Derp. All. The. Time.

[quote]You know these people well, they haunt the LFG scene and if you've ever raided with randoms then you've already encountered these people. I'm talking about [i]The 9 Kinds of Microphone Abusers you Raid With.[/i] They're all obnoxious noise polluters and [u]none[/u] of them know where the mute button is. *** *** *** [b]1. The Serial Killer -[/b] [i]their creepy breathing is loud and ceaseless. You just know they're gaming on a couch made of human skin.[/i] [b]2. The Hunger Gamer -[/b] [i]everything they say is filtered through a mouthful of potato crisps plucked from a packet that is seemingly bottomless.[/i] [b]3. The Daycare Worker -[/b] [i]this individual has no understanding of contraception or managing the behaviour of their children. The screaming of children is occasionally interrupted by an exasperated spouse begging them for help.[/i] [b]4. The DJ - [/b][i]do you like hip hop? The DJ doesn't care. Any chance you had of hearing your team mates has been drowned out by phat beats and dope rhymes for the whole raid. The ... whole ... raid.[/i] [b]5. The Vaper - [/b][i]easily distinguished by their southern drawl and constant vaping - think redneck Darth Vader.[/i] [b]6. Little Timmy -[/b] [i]you feel creepy just for talking to this minor via the Internet. They have never died in a raid from legitimate circumstances, it's always lag or some kind of weird glitch. Their shrill voice is occasionally interrupted by a parent yelling "FIVE MORE MINUTES"[/i] [b]7. The Home Theatre Enthusiast - [/b][i]this ear destroying gamer communicates via their Kinect, 8 foot away from them, nestled between 1,000 watt speakers cranked to max volume.[/i] [b]8. The Wind Waker -[/b] [i]it's hard to tell if they're gaming in a hurricane or right next to a 50 inch industrial strength fan, but this gamer is less likely to end up at the raid completion screen as they are the Land of Oz.[/i] [b]9. The Potty Trainer - [/b][i]it's unsure whether this person is proud of the way they can shoot urine into a toilet with the velocity and force of a fighter jet or they simply forgot the mute button, but either way ... dude ... no ... we don't need to hear that[/i] Have I forgotten any? Add your own and if it's good enough I'll add it to the list. *** *** *** [u]Edit: and here are some suggestions:[/u] [b]The Dazed and Confused - [/b][i]the frequent bubbling sounds, the way they laugh at their own deaths, you always know when you're raiding with a stoner.[/i] - XxMrsLaggxX [b]The General Patton - [/b][i]more of an attitude problem than microphone etiquette issue but none the less still frustrating. They know every technique and aren't afraid to order you around like maggot scum. Every one of your deaths will be criticised. Do not challenge their authority![/i] -so many commenters suggested this [b]The Socialite -[/b] [i]Talks to everyone in their home, without any kind of awareness of the fact that the rest of us in the party don't care about your personal life, or what you are talking to your family about.[/i] - Akuma07 [b]The Typhoid Gamer - [/b] [i]If they're not blowing their nose they are coughing up a lung. Have sympathy. Pulmonary Fibrosis blows. It definitely doesn't suck[/i] -DeltaZulu77 [b]The Lurker - [/b] [i]Less of a microphone abuser and more of a microphone neglecter, this silent protagonist has a mic but never says anything. They just listen ... wait ... plot ...[/i] - RAIDENJOESTAR [b]The Bee - [/b] [i]BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz[/i] - riotfury777 [b]The Impressionist - [/b][i]This would-be entertainer thinks their Morgan Freeman and Christopher Walken impressions are on point but they'd clear an open mic night in seconds. Easily identified by saying things like "Hey guys, wanna hear by Bane or Seinfeld?"[/i][/quote] Its just a game for fun past time Not a -blam!-ing mosh pit over mics So why is there need to make othet players ears bleed....these people need to get some comon ground and realise that no one wants to hear then speak eat or have a piss

Yeah, I'm definitely the Lurker. This is how a party conversation goes: Friend: ~Pause~ Doctor, you there? Me: ~EERIE SILENCE~ Friend: Doctor? Other Friend: I think he's muted his mic. Me: No, I've been here this entire time. Friend 1:Why didn't you say anything? Me: I didn't feel like talking. Friend 2: Well, at least tell us when you're going mute. Me: My mics been on this entire time. Friends 1 & 2: wha-? Me: (insert troll face)

[b]The Know-It-All[/b]: Not the individual gamer. While the gamer is being instructed on strategies from within the Chat party, it's the person telling them what to do from the other side of the room; also criticizes all judgements made by the entire fire team during all events in-game. (At some point the gamer may have to tell the aforementioned party that they need to "Shut up" and/or "Be Quiet".

3, 4 and 6 FTW.

I'm the lurker lmao
