1) It is so easy to kill someone off near the start of the game. A well placed road or building and it's effectively down to three players. And there's no "bow out" option, either you keep playing, or the game ends. It is rarely fun playing a game you've already lost.
2) Other people. Seriously, that game seems to bring out the idiot more than any other game I've played. Rob from the leader, why is that so hard to understand? Someone's on 8 visible points and has two hidden cards, TAKE HIS GODDAMN RESOURCES. He offers you fifty rock for a brick? That brick is all he needs to win, DO NOT GIVE IT TO HIM. And don't get me started on "I can't rob from him/her, she's my boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other". If your relationship can't stand you robbering his grain, go fight it out in private, stop ruining my game.
