It's hard to use AF, RLC (or REL), and EMP instead right? Oh, my bad, that would make too much sense and a second of thought about how to abbr. things is too hard.
Let's just go with that idiotic and misleading af1 (artifact weapon not artifact set), af2 (level 52 artifact armor piece), and af3 (level 54 artifact armor piece). Those are far less confusing and aren't terminology for completely different things.
Burden other people because you can't be bothered to use correct terminology.
Yeah, AF1/2/3 maybe at one point referred to weapon/1st piece/last piece (lol you don't even know your history, the "AF3 quest" is the last piece of your set), but even with people at the level 75 cap a lot of people referred to relic gear as AF2... because the old designations for the AF1 set had become obsolete.
Terminology for things like this can change over time as certain things become obsolete, this is one example. Nothing is wrong here, except maybe YOU being too stubborn to accept change/advancement.
Terminology isn't obsoleted by other completely unrelated terminology (that has absolutely no tie in to the original content). Also, it didn't refer to the quests, as you got 3 pieces from a single quest (AF4, 5, and 6 as the third storyline quest wasn't always the same gear slot or level for that matter). Just because you got it wrong then, and are misusing the terminology now, don't come barking at me about it.
Also, I know people refered to relic as af2, and they were equally idiotic and wrong. Terminology doesnt become obsolete because a bunch of idiots don't know the correct terminology. Only thing wrong here would be people like you who refuse to use the correct terminology for whatever delusional "rebellious" "reason".
"It's easier to say af3!" No, it is not any easier than saying emp, it requires the same amount of key input (3 keys). It's pathetic how people try to defend wrong terminology just to make themselves not sound like morons (its ironic too).
Maybe if it wasn't called empyrean and was called artifact, you (and anyone else who mistakingly calls it af3) would actually have a leg to stand on. But it isn't, so you don't.
/waits for the report button spam.

Hmmm, there is a short version in the end.
If you're short on time... ^^
Do pardon me, good sir, dear all.
In no way did I even imagine the wants of inflicting any sort of a burden over you, or anyone else. And in no way I want to waste anyone's precious time in any way! It was a mere thought for the original post describing the suggestion. Do you actually mean to say that there is a downside in calling them with their in-game names, especially in a thread likely aimed towards the developers more or less which should (in my opinion) be laid well out without thinking of the time spent into typing it?
You, and anyone else are allowed to call them flowerpots 1, 7, and 6 for all I care. :]
I never tell anyone that calling them what you call them is wrong or that they should call them what I call them, no. I did not mean it like that.
Years ago, I mainly did not like to think them that way because there are the +1 versions. That is to say, 'AF2' or more likely 'AFv2' made me think of AF+1 more than the relics. But later on, to this day, I just prefer the official terminology over 'slang'.
But, as I said, that's me. I'm not asking you, or anyone else to do anything! It was just a suggestion, a thought, an opinion if you will.
And yes, where I come from, it does not blend.
And here is the promised short version: I'm sorry if I offended you in any way, wasted your time, or even seemingly was asking for you to waste your time, it was truly not intentional. I will, however, continue calling them what I want to and you call them what you want to, okay? ^^
