Going to tell you what those post mean.
First one is a person begging to get reported.
Second one is a clown and does not wish to share the clown gear.
Third one will fail at least 2 times within the 10 first seconds.
Forth one have themselves no idea how the fight work.
Fifth and last one is themselves the reason every party they have been in the last 2 days have wiped, they themselves do not understand that and will be rude after each wipe blaming it on everyone else even though they are the one to blame.

I do see a lot of people say "gg" at the end of content now and I assume that's a WoW person thing because I never saw it much until last year.

I noticed that too, I dont remember it ever be a thing. And worst still, they say GG even if it was beyond awful of a run.

I've always said gg, ever since I started back in HW.

It's just a common way to say goodbye after a multiplayer session.

"Like a virtual fist bump, “good game” (or “GG”) has been a favorite parting word since the dawn of online competitive gaming. For almost three decades, typing those letters into the game chat has become an almost compulsory act of digital sportsmanship." - Inverse.com

I mean I remember actually lining up after a base ball game and shaking the opposing teams hands one by one and saying good game. I guess base ball was developed by WoW players

Wait a minute...I remember actually lining up after a game of basketball and doing the same thing. Are you telling me these WoW players are the same people who made basketball? That just can't be true!

At this point, 'wow player' means anyone who's been playing MMO's for over 3 years and/or had the audacity to ever play an MMO that wasnt XIV. So if you played Tera Online? You're a wow player and you're coming here and making things awful with your wow habits, including saying gg. TRUE xiv players only say "o/" and then stay silent as to not offend anyone and lose their account.

Played Bless? Wildstar? New World? Blade and Soul? Maplestory? Wow players, get out. You're all toxic. Stop having standards. I'm entitled to you, don't tell me I'm not. -doesn't this kinda sound like the world of dating?? Dare I say, incel rhetoric? We can acknowledge it's creepy and gross when it comes to that, but all the sudden it's amnesia when it comes to online spaces. All the sudden yes, people do actually have the right to force themselves with you otherwise you're actually the bad person. That's a little funny isnt it. Telling me no should be punishable-yes I do believe I've heard that in other spaces before..

Good lord, are we now getting upset over people doing a throwaway "take care" gesture?

Gamers: *breathe*
FFXIV players: ON GOD?

I don't know about other genres, but that's been a customary way to end matches in fighting games since online play has been a thing. I somehow doubt it migrated there from WoW.

Take your head out of your arse please, I just stated that > I < not remembering it being a thing, and that I never seen it on the servers I played on. And it became a thing recently for me. and GG literally means GOOD GAME, Yeah, sorry, I dont call something a GG where I have to put super human effort to keep the rest of the party alive over the course of the whole Dungeon/Raid/Alliance raid.

Either shut up and dont say anything at the end of a dungeon and just leave, or at the very least write something more than 2 letters that are AS YOU SAY : THROW AWAY gesture, you know, because actually typing : TAKE CARE takes soooooooo much effort right ?
