none of the above - it is Micro-transactions

I mean most of the time its just skins and stuff so it doesn't really bother me personally. I just dont buy it yk

True I'm probably meaning the aggressive nature it is pushed on consumers. It's on the main menu, it's on the advertising before and after the game has released, sometimes it is even in the game.

At least with paid DLC it is sometimes limited to the title screen and post-game release advertising but the micro-transactions are almost a hindrance as to be part of the game itself.

I guess that makes sense. When they push it onto every screen it can get annoying When you said that I was more just thinking in the general sense like an item shop type of thing like in fortnight.

I'll go with C.

We got so many DDoS attack in FFXIV lately that it's really upsetting. No idea who is behind it, competition, a pity revenge from banned gold sellers or whatever. But when you have limited time to play and get constantly disconnected in the middle of a dungeon or just trying to do story quest it's really frustrating. Luckily players are understanding and waiting for each other to try and get back but I had to cancel not one raid session because we constantly got disconnected.

Most of the times it is sadly related to dupes. At least that was the case in Albion Online and various times in WoW as well as ArcheAge. Might be just the same case here.

Gotta say moms and girlfriends not realizing you can’t pause an online game has left me with traumas the likes of which will never heal.

I think D is the worst, but I can understand parents having no idea hahaha

For me the worst is definitely losing connection. having bad teamates is a simple fix of 1. playing with people you know or 2. playing solo. mom calling me mid match also isnt a big deal because it's honestly not that often and you can always just leave and get into a new game. personally I never had issues with low fps, unless your playing an online shooter game for tends to not really matter all that much. but losing connection for me however tends to always happen at the worst timing possible or lasts for such a long time I cant play for a long period of time.

Im gonna be honest for me its absolutely D. I still can remember when i started playing EVE Online and when my mom use to shout teas ready, or a job needed doing and trying to explain to her im flying through space and need to dock up for safety. The amount of times i had to explain when she shouted "just pause the damn game", and me shouting back i cant its bloody live. XD aaah good times
