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

Squad/micro-strategy mechanics in fps games. Commanding npcs to do specific things in the middle of a gunfight isn’t fun.

While it's ai is still sometimes a drunk toddler, i like the way arma offers it. You set rules of engagement and kind of a "ready mode", and the formation and you're set. Also quick hotkey based ways to change them.

You can still set up positions and micro manage your squad if you wanna but 90% of the time its unnecessary.
