All right, this is simple, vote for what you think is the most annoying weapon that people use during online play. Whether for constant launching, tripping, or general misuse, just give a reason along with what you voted.

I vote LongSword because of constant tripping, and there's only one way to use it, spamming the spirit combo over and over again.

Now it's time for...

A Minegarde Call to Action...

Are longsword users annoying you constantly online? Do you need something to call them, which will also deeply confuse them?
INSTEAD OF CALLING THEM STEVES.
...Call them LongSword Larry. Over, and over, and over, and over again. They will mostly likely respond with "?", "wut", or "My name isn't Larry"
It's like Steving people but funnier

Lmao@thread

Is this supposed to make me less of an anti-bowgunner?

Edit: I voted lance, to go along with the thread.

But I find BG to be annoying for two reasons:
One, most of the users are incompetent with them... whether by wasting ammo/hitting teammates more than the monster or by not realizing it's a range weapon and being constantly killed by melee based monster attacks...
Second, the good ones are good, but they are whining elitists, majoring. COLD TRUTH IS COLD.

I should gun. Just because I'm not a bad gunner and to show I AM NOT A WHINING ELITIST!
Why lance, aside from lolcharge? They're actually helpful!

I think longsword wins most annoying weapon because it's the most widely used, but a bad bowgunner can be worse that a bad longsword.

Pellet S is the choice of trolls.

I vote lance also. Nothing more annoying than being hit by a charging lance while prone for something like healing, setting trap, or charging a Gs.

LS don't bother me much, if I get annoyed then I switch to Gs and the problem is solved.

[Ce'Nedra]

Hammers...i hate people who can't aim and send team members flying constantly, specially when a monster is trapped or tripped.

I must say i've been playing LS alot and with a friend who mostly uses LS and we rarely trip each other. We just keep distance from each other, both take a diffrent side of the monster and such. Try that, it might help

[SemajChaos]

Funny how little people are actually having problems with LS Larry's

@Ash
Because a bad lancer doesn't know how to do harm, and constantly charges.

Hm. Know what the trend here is? Bad users with any weapon = annoying. Can't pin it on one weapon type.

[Ashqul]

Even the best players are annoying with LS, the Spirit Blade is too wide of a distance, I lolcharge ONLY to cover distance and when it looks like I'm about to hit somebody, I stop. I find the GS upswing too annoying though.......

And there you have it. Maybe some people just need to play some single player before they jump online. This isn't CoD.

When I'm not using SnS, I use LS, and it's all about positioning yourself. You can spam spirit blade all you want as long as you put yourself in a good position on a monster.
Of course, that requires coordination with the team, something that a lot of people have trouble with.

Exactly. People wouldn't be as annoyed by the LS if they realized, it's a team effort to realize where to stand. If you prefer free for alls, then by all means, do it, but don't complain when something that could be fixed by talking happens.

[Ce'Nedra]

I can rememebr a few times getting tripped by a LS saved me from getting hit from a monster, or even dying...so it's not THAT bad.

i see dead tripper XD, gawd the power of abusing stupid ppl, its godly u know
well i think what i hate the most is a constantly charging lance & they just can't get it out from their system

about team coordination, srsly, most of the time "WE" are playing with random anyway, so rather than coordination, PLEASE BEHAVE, srsly... ppl these days lack manners or just doesn't know how to behave in MH...

[SemajChaos]

Drako, is this the other opinion you were expecting?

[Ashqul]

I charge with a lance but only to close the distance between me and a monster far away that my teammates are nowhere near close to reaching it before me, if I see one is in my way I stop so I don't knock him over.

[Ce'Nedra]

I don't get why people use Lance Charge anyway, normally running is almost if not just as fast on land, just in water its faster...I've tested it before with a friend, he lance charged i ran normally and he barely got ahead of me.

@pyr4m1dh34d: I'm not sure i get what you're trying to say sadly :s who are you calling stupid? not me i hope

You're really defensive for someone not even half in focus of the critique.

[Ashqul]

Look, I just think that lances are amazing.
I don't think you should see it as annoying because of idiots using the lolcharge. Blame the user, not the weapon.

[Pirrip]

(Hi! I'm new to Minegarde) I vote hammers. I don't get tripped or knocked around more by any other weapon in my experience. Though I have run into people complaining a lot about the Switch Axe.
