>calling an NPC a "mob"
>calling your player character or avatar a "toon"
>calling a potion a "pot"
WHY DO PEOPLE DO ANY OF THESE THINGS!?
The first one and last one are perfectly normal and I'm pretty sure this is bait.
>>257518714
They don't have autism so it doesn't bother them
>people get asspained over these things.
Whatever, I'm gonna go on my toon to kill mobs for some pots
>>257518714
I call NPCs NPC's unless they're a monster, then i say monster... I call my player character, my guy. And I call potions potions and pots if I'm lazy
>>257518714
ya i think mob is for enemies like monsters or some shit. but calling friendly NPCs mobs sounds dumb.
I hate that shit too, OP.
Would you cuddle with Rita?

>calling a potion a "pot"
>WHY DO PEOPLE DO ANY OF THESE THINGS!?
Because it's the first 3 fucking letters of Potion
>>257519137
I would do so much to/for/with Rita you have no idea.
Anything.
>calling your player character or avatar a "toon"
It doesn't exactly bother me, but I'd like to know how this started.
>>257519358
I suspect this, but others say it goes back further.
I don't even get "toon"? What does it mean, "cartoon"? Is it implying all main characters are cartoons?
>>257519358
>>257519457
I thought it was one of the retarded terms developed by the portion of the WoW player base that's made of baddies who don't play other games.
Like how they call a "pub" a "pug"
>>257519687
Okay shortening the name of something is one thing, but just arbitrarily changing a character in the name of something is absolutely ridiculous.
WHO DID THIS?

watch both of these videos and then kill yourself
>>257519687
pug = "pick up group"
what the hells a pub?
>>257518714
I agree with the toon part, and calling a non-combatant NPC a mob. But you're retarded on the rest of it.
>>257519687
Pub?
I played wow for 5 years and NEVER EVER heard of the word toon. First time I heard of the term was in /v/
>My character? I can't say that, I should shorten it
>Charac-
>Char-
>Car-
>cartoon..?
>Toon! Yeah, that doesn't sound bumfuck retarded at all!
>>257520061
pub is shorthand for "public"
how have you never heard of a "pub stomp" or something similar in any other multiplayer game?
>>257519687
Pug stands for Pick Up Group
I hate it when people call controllers "remotes".
>>257520506
I've never heard of pub used for a group either, started hearing pug with content finder type systems. Maybe hub? Those were places to meet new players to form up in older online games.
I call fodder enemies mobs.
>>257520354
That's how I think it happened. Fuck that.
>Not calling them marios
I've never seen "pot" but isn't "mob" a generally accepted term even outside of MMOs?
People who use "toon" for anything but WoW characters can fuck right off though.
>>257520354
Fuck.
>>257520706
Which is a PUBLIC group
>calling levels "boards"
But why
>>257521295
>calling missions maps
>>257520354
Ah, it's like how old timey English slang got started than
>slang for fist
>use an existing slang
>"knives and forks"
>use a different phrase that rhymes
>"the dukes of York"
>shorten it
>"dukes"
>that's the new slang for fist
>"put up your dukes"
Just came in here to tell you to go fuck yourself with point #1
