The first time I saw an acracnobot I nearly had a movement in my pants.
And it was in a cave with those cob webs and everything.
And the stupid thing was charging me.

Killed it though.

It seems that certain enemy groups were worse for different AT's.
Tanks hated sappers.
Blasters hated mezzers.
I hated them all.
That's why I killed them, well that and for the babes.
Later.

Longbow. They started on Redside around level 12 and were so prevalent that I just got sick of seeing them.

Yeah the Longbow were blue side too.  And I got sick of them, but because they stood around and got press while I was out there risking life and limb.

I hated the fire imps. Cave after cave of them... Millions of imps waiting for you. I hated how they fell after only a few points of damage giving level after level in minutes or seconds.

I hated having to level up so often during that mission.
Cogito, Ergo... eh?

It was an infamous AE mission that was used to PL characters from 1-50 in something like 2 hrs. Waaay faster than the PL missions that followed in AE.

It lasted for a week or so and then the Devs brought the hammer down... including some week long bans from the game. 
I got a good 8-10 characters some serious PL lovin in a single weekend, but since I stopped short of level 50 on all of them I never got the ban.

So, it's not so much I hated the imps, just that I felt bad about it. :)

Yes, Shadow Cyst Crystals. Hated them because of the bad decision-making that led to putting them into the game in the first place:

"Hey! Let's give Khelds their own version of Kryptonite but so in a way that penalizes teams that invite a Kheld to join them (and continues to annoy them hours after the Kheld leaves the team)."

Has anyone said CoT ghosts, yet?

Hated their -to hit and then going invis and flying away before you could finish them off.  You'd then end up scouring a map clean before realizing the mission won't end because one of the runners had vanished.

Caves. They weren't technically a enemy group but they sure did kick my butt at times.

Which kind of cave?
Council Caves,
Five-layer cakes,
Gray Hallows type.
For me by far were the 5-layer cakes.  Try one of them at level 12, pretty i23 when flying waited for level 14 and the jet pack just ran out of fuel.
Now, there's a fun afternoon.

I used this on the double XP weekend to level my Elec/Shield Scrapper to 1-50 in about 2 hours and they didn't ban me for it.  It was probably just the people who made the missions.

They did some database mining to determine who got the ban. I had a few SG mates who got the boot for about a week.

I'm starting to remember this a bit better. There were several of these farms that cropped up over a week or two. The devs closed some down only to see others create clones of them.

I think you were right about when it took place though. I forgot the dbl exp weekend. The farm may have been up less than I thought.

Honestly it might have been altitus that saved me. I did as much PLing as they did that weekend (maybe not quite), but spread over like 8 or 9 different chars.

But man it was a blast to see a new character have three or four sets of level buffs on him at the same time. :)

Freakshow... I f'ing hated Freakshow... particularly lieutenant and higher, because you'd turn your back on them and they'd respawn on your ass while you were recovering.  I was no great fan of either version of the clockwork for all their stupid electric holds/end drains.
And those electricity moves were really annoying on endurance-heavy characters.

Has anyone said CoT ghosts, yet?

YES, the ghosts were a real pain too, especially on my Dark Melee scrapper, since most of my attacks were pretty much useless.

Ghouls.  And ghouls.  Did I mention ghouls?
I don't think I ever played Praetoria after the balance changes the devs made because I was still so angry at the pancaking ghouls...

I always hated the DE. All of those pet buffs/debuts going on. As soon as you get rid of one they would drop another pet.
