What really gets me going is in games with levelling up and stats, but the developers were so lazy that the only important stat is your level vs the enemies.
Like if you're 1 level lower you do less damage and if you're 10 levels lower you do almost no damage, even if your stats are the same.

Why even fucking have stats when the only one that matters is level? Shit is fucking lazy.

Witcher 3's randomized drop system for recipes and components. Finally found a golem and it didnt drop a golem heart? Oh well, too bad, better luck next time 5 hours from now when you finally come across another one.
And having tons of useless junk items you won't know if you need or not in a game with limited inventory space. The game says bear pelts are junk, but I needed one for an armor recipe, so now I have to hold on to everything.
Blade oil system could be less of a hassle too.
And when you're buying components the game doesn't tell you if you even already own it at all or not, nevermind how many like it should.

They actually did that in Diablo 2. You could "gamble", by purchasing a weapon with unknown stats. If it happened to be really good you could sell it back for more than you gave. It ended up just being abusable though, if you bought certain weapons like wands they would always be worth more, so you could get free money that way.
