Speaking of links it grinds my gears when I see people improperly link thins on this site. There's a formatting option in the freaking textbox people, click on the show button!Oh god yes.
It wouldn't be so bad if the page didn't insert a space into the url so you couldn't even cleanly copy/paste it.
So true![/ http ://paizo. c om/thr ea ds/rz s2s0 ns &page= las t?Pathfi nder-F orums-Me a mes-that-Gr in d-Your- Gea rs]
Not sure if this counts as "Forum Meme" but it irks me that boobs is fine for the word filter, titties is fine for the word filter, but "t#+%" is not.

I get annoyed by "RP purists" who believe that having a character that can effectively survive combat means you are being MIN-MAXing munchkin buzzkill...

USUALLY I can tune that out. However, it does Grind my Gears when a "RP purist" turns out to be terrible at roleplaying.I get annoyed by "RP purists" who believe that having a character that can effectively survive combat means you are being MIN-MAXing munchkin buzzkill...that eats babies.
Your not ROLE playing unless your character has a 12 str as a fighter and has profession baker and has soem OCD quirk about straightening bags of flour...

The idea that a feat can't be bad unless it's literally useless.
Gnome hate.
Seriously, so many people hate Gnomes.
I guess really, this can apply to hatred of any race, but man do Gnomes get it the worst for whatever reason. (Strangely, I see a lot of it for Half-Elves, too.)
I think it's a holdover from D&D, where gnomes were just the other short race with no real flair, just kinda a mix between halfling and dwarf.
I hated D&D* gnomes, but I like what they did with Pathfinder gnomes. They aren't just crappy dwarf wannabes like they were in D&D. They're an actual race of their own with actual subtext and uniqueness.
*I didn't mind Dragonlance gnomes, which had personality and the tinker thing going, but Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, and all the other gnomes were terrible.
I just dislike the shorty races...
idk, Gnomes, halflings, dwarves... never been a fan...
Ironically enough I like Fey :P.
Fairies I love... but the "Normal" short races I am not huge on...

It's the movement speed. Tactical movement is just too valuable.
Think on this. slow speed is -1 RP, but a fixed feat "fleet" would be 2 RP. There is a clear disconnect there.
Huh?I just dislike... Gnomes
I like Fey :P
Well gnomes are now Quasi-Fey. They are not true fey anymore. And when it comes to Fairies I like... like... FAIRIES, like the traditional fairy (Pixie, Sprite, Brownie, ect.)

Halfling can trade sure footed for +10 speed.
I only play as dwarves and halflings:-)

I wonder if that is to balance that since most Small races are 20ft/round, you have to spend the extra point to get the speed but also the +1 to AC and attack rolls?

I suppose. I actually liked gnomes even in the 3.5 days - one of my first characters ever was a Gnome Cleric of Garl Glittergold. It really seems like most of the hatred is just that they're silly or childish for whatever reason, but I suppose I can understand the hatred for not really doing any schtick particularly well.
Actually I really wish, as Gnomes were the traditional Bard choice from 3.5, that Pathfinder had saved the CHA bonus for them alone and given Halflings INT. +DEX/INT makes halflings the best small race for rogue, magus, wizard, alchemist, witch, investigator, etc. +CON/CHA makes gnomes a great fit for sorcerer, Paladin, cavalier, bard, summoner, and Oracle.

I hate it when someone creates a topic about something, such as undead mystics, then steadfastly refuses to define what a mystic is. Is it a homebrew somewhere, a third party product, or a class in an upcoming Pathfinder rulebook?
This isn't Twitter! You can give a brief description of the thing. Only then can I offer suggestions about how you might create and play an undead mystic.

Okay here's one that's been bothering me lately. None of the individual statements in this meme Grind my Gears, it's just when they are all given together by the same person.
In one thread, the following exchange occurs:
Person A: I don't think <game element> was written very well.
Person B: Who do you think you are, critisizing Paizo?!? Paizo is a huge sucess and makes MONEY off of Pathfinder! Unless you've made your own game and sold it and ran Paizo out of business you can't criticize them!Which is certainly a valid, if unpopular, belief. Until the next thread, when we get the exchange
The companies that sell cigarettes make a lot of money. So do crack dealers. Not only is that not a valid belief, IT'S A TRAP!

I used to smoke cigarettes, started in high school, quit 18 over 18 years ago.
It was actually incredibly easy for me, haven't even thought about it:-)

Murderhobos.
'E-cigarettes are okay'
Folks who 'white knight' an argument in a thread, but completely miss the point that the person they're championing for was trying to hit.

@137ben.
It's always bothered the certain level of hypocrisy in the hobby. If it's a rpg company or rpg a gamer likes they are above reproach and the greatest thing to the hobby since sliced bread. If it's the opposite then the rpg company they hate killed their favourite puppy while being a greedy money grubbing company. I have seen similar behaviour here and elsewhere. Quite a double standard IMO.
Another thing that grinds my gears. That a rpg company dare to make money. Most rpg companies are not non-profits nor should they be. Of course if one starts a company one wants it to be profitable. Who starts a business and goes "I took out a loan at a bank while investing some of my life savings in this business. I really hope it's not profitable".

I think where the breakdown occurs is the distinction between 'making a solid honest profit with cushion for development or unseen future costs' and 'swimming so hard in cash that they have several swimming pools filled with nothing but it and no improvements to the game/system as they do that'.
The one is a respectable, understandable, responsible sort of thing. The other is the stereotype that makes pretty much anyone grind their gears.

I really hate it when people make a bunch of f#&@ing aliases.
Especially when they do it specifically to post in some stupid f$#$ing thread.
Man do those people piss me off.

So what if it's a "respectable" amount or swimming pools full of cash. I don't get the sheer dislike by some individuals of a company or a person making a lot of money and profit. If I had a company the more money the better. You think those who work at Paizo are going "damn were making too much money and were not losing any sleep. Were bad people". Another thing that grinds my gears. The disconnect people have between making money and thinking its a bad thing. It's as if some forget they live in one of the more profit oriented, consumer driven, capitalist areas of the world.
I just can't take anyone seriously who expects a person or company to make less money. It's absurd at the least and incredibly naive at worst IMO.

One does not work for one of the employers that cuts corners on employee pay/benefits to make MOAR money, does one? One can work all the hours and all the overtime one wants?
One can make a respectable profit while remembering that EVERYONE that goes into making a profit should benefit from the process. Screwing one's workforce so that one can have a fourth house in Cancun? That's where a lot of people get ground gears.
Making money? Sure. Making obscene money by screwing over the people giving it to one either in the form of work or exorbitant prices? Get out. And don't claim 'greed is good' and makes jobs. Because it doesn't.
