Teams like that really suck and sap all the fun out of the game.MMOs again - when some idiot aggros a bunch of high level enemies and runs away - in your direction. You are just stood in an open field only for some idiot to go running past, and his horde of double-my-level enemies attack you. Idiots.
MMOS do my head in and I don't play them anymore. Constant nerfing and updates and rule changes, to hell with it.
I always hate the start of most RPGs, or parts of RPGs where they make the lifespan longer by giving you lame "messenger" quests where you run from person to person. I think Zelda usually does a good job by only ever having one or two messenger tasks per game, and they actually make it fun. Repeating tasks in some RPGs just to level up is also a real ballache.
Also, if there is a village on fire/village has been burned, you can bet that you are playing an RPG.
I usually play MMOs on my own or with one friend, so I never have to deal with those problems....what I hate is in MMOs like Ragnarok, when it's a PK server, I'll be trying to level and fighting some big monster, and some random person will wait until I kill it, then attack me before I get to heal myself, and steal all the dropped items. Or when I'll be buying/selling stuff in a shop and someone will just come up and attack me because I can't defend at that moment. ****ers.
