Which words or terms would you most like to see eliminated from GW? I'd personally love to see pwn/pwnage,own/ownage , <3(and no,I'm not),and above all others,noo,n00b,nub and all varients fall down a hole and die of AIDS. Anyone else feel the same or is it just me?

I think those are fine. If you play any games online, you're going to see them anyway. It's a part of gamer culture.

But the ones *I* want to see go away are:
-IWAY
-WTS/WTB (especially in white - pink is okay by me)
-"give" especially when followed by "me"

The ,,|,, (~.~) ,,|,, smiley. Not a word actually, but I'm emotionally scarred by these things anyway. Seriously, wtf.

I vote for "ggkthx." The other words are occasionally useful, but this just says, "I'm not very bright and instead of listening to what you have to say I'm going to pretend I'm right because I said so."

haha, ggkthx... wow thats simultaneously fast and rude!

I hate it when a new builds are automatically abreviated when its used by more than 2 GW players. Took me a while to realize whats a:
mm, ss, bipper, dgen, 55, eo, etc...

thank god for GWGuru.com

Retribution X · Jan 17, 2006, 05:12 PM // 17:12

You'll love the smileys the new japanese players are comin out with then..
<( ^w^)> is my favourite one so far.

Natalie Bredesfjord · Jan 17, 2006, 05:18 PM // 17:18

My vote goes for 'noob', 'n00b', 'nub' and all other derivations of newbie - so unnerving.
I'd like to beat them with the nerf stick.

Oh, another bad word: Nerf !!!111oneone. can we just replace this with *beep* please ?

M1h4iL · Jan 17, 2006, 05:28 PM // 17:28

I really dont care for any words, godly, noob, pwned i find them funny, but if they or ANY words are used in caps....people with caps piss me off XD

theclam · Jan 17, 2006, 05:29 PM // 17:29

The only one I hate is 'nub' because I played with a complete idiot who called someone that just because they didn't know every single thing about FoW.

Agreed. Pwn/pwnage doesnt really bother me. But i hate seeing n00b. very stupid word.

Esprit · Jan 17, 2006, 05:34 PM // 17:34

I hate "rez", "rez me", and "rez me plz". You are dead, you can spend at least the few seconds that you may remain dead to use proper grammar. If I play a monk, I am much more inclined to "rez" you if you just stay quiet and let me do my job.

If you must insist on asking to be resurrected, get rid of the stupid "z".

TwinRaven · Jan 17, 2006, 05:45 PM // 17:45

I have come to hate "please" or "pls" and "plz"....why? because what once was good manners has turned into some lazy bugger asking for "gold plz", "sell me that weapon for 1/2 what u want for it, i really want it ...PLEESE!!!" or "can someone run me from Ascalon to the Crystal Dessert for free? Please" whiners and beggars using the word please, like it actually means something to them, while you know darned good and well, they will never appreciate woking towards and accomplishing a goal. "Please" has even swayed me into a bad trade or two (because it means something to me...and I hate that)...please is so often followed by the implied word :"sucka" ...which you are if you fall for the trap laid out by "pls...just 500g 4 my armor...someone?"

My second most hated: prolly...it just looks and sounds stupid.

Hmmm, 'favor or favour'.

DevilStick · Jan 17, 2006, 06:11 PM // 18:11

For me, those folks that want everyone to know what they're doing bother me. "I'm attacking this...", "I'm attacking that...", "I'm dead." And always with perfect typing and punctuation... how do they type that fast????

(This is a joke.)

Fred Kiwi · Jan 17, 2006, 06:13 PM // 18:13

the phrase: 'I'm dead!'
