Seriously. What in the **** makes you write "ally", instead of, at least, "alli" ?
It doesn't even have any basis in logic as far as I know.

The meaning of ally is to cooperate with another for a military or other purpose.
They're part of your faction, on your team, fighting a fight with you; it's perfectly logical.
But no, I mean in a different context. Not reffering to an "allied player" or similar. But for example, when the Alliance is attacking a Horde city, and a horde player says " Ally is attacking" . That's what i meant.Quote:

I agree. It's like writing Dudu for Druid. It's just moronic.
you're just a wierd fat kid
Worst logic is to call damage dealer as dps.
We are searching for one damage per second for our raid.
><
Your insult skill is weirdQuote:

Practice in the school more often
Yeah, I know right? I mean, is it so freakking hard to write "Damage Dealer"? Even "DMG" is much better.Quote:

And I'm not even going to start ranting about how I want to tear limbs when someone tells me "buff me pala". First of all, I have a f*cking nickname for a reason, second of all, do I look like your buff slave? Oh my... (But of course this is understandable in some cases, you don't always have time to look for the nick, be nice and say please and all that...but not in a simple 5man 30level dungeon!)
idgaf what you're name is, all i know is i want pally buffs and i want them now. How am i to know which paladin of 3 or so hasn't buffed me?Quote:

@Link
Satrinas Buff Frames, and some other addons I guess, track who buffed you with what.
Combat Log itself announces you who provided you the buffs. But as far as I've seen so far, the person you're answering isn't the most brilliant IQ around here.Quote:

Back in vanilla the abbreviation used instead of DPS was DD, standing for "damage dealer". If you go to a vanilla server, you'll see they still use it.Quote:

And don't expect anyone to take you seriously and call you out by your nickname when your nickname is "Nathaniel". Good gracious lord almighty... I'd be ashamed to type that name in chat.
And yeah, when I see a pally is slacking with the buffs or auras, I just check the combat log and then kick them to give them a little "wake up". You're the class with the most utility in the game, it's your job, it's your responsibility - if you don't wanna do it, I'll just replace you with someone who wants or with another class.
I personally feel like shooting someone every time I see one of those. "Dudu" as well, and any other of these ******ed nicknames.Quote:

About the nickname/class/role thing:
I am happy that on cataclysm I am Tankodin, they just say Tank, easy :)
No, I didn't, but I still see it more than anyone should in the Forums (any value > 0 is too much), plus I play other games that also have party roles.Quote:
