The other thread about favorite mechanics is great, so let's also do the opposite: what are some of your most hated mechanics?

Yeah, the older I get, the more "I don't have time for 10h grinding a day" I get. Just let me play a complete game in peace please.

I decided a few years ago that I play games to have fun and if a game isn't fun, I don't play it. I don't have much time these days to dedicate gaming, so I want to enjoy the time I do.

I've had a few I've really enjoyed until I hit some really terrible game mechanic or even a boss encounter I can't get past. I'll usually give it a few days/tries, but I'll flat out just bail and uninstall a game if it is causing me too much stress.

Same here, life is too short to struggle ingame :)
