Why does it bother you guys so much? Are you going to go around and question why people call DDs DPS? "Looking for a Damage Per Second" doesn't make much sense either.
Do you guys really have nothing better to do tonight? as Mochiccino pointed out ppl on wow do say it and yes i use to play wow so it stuck with me.and i for one will never understand why they call it a "toon" it makes me think of a character that looks like bugs bunny or some lame children cartoon, Not even sure where this silly phrase even came from.
1st, no, it dosn't bother me, people use silly words all the time, that's them. it's just something to silently laugh at.
Second even SE calls the offical damage dealing jobs in this game Damage per second Just like in FFXI they were called Damage dealers because there was no trinity system, (SO DD for short). But everyone call it "DPS" for short (even square in almost every aspect of this game...) So that makes no sense for a comparison.
However, Names like (toon) and other silly knicknames people came up with like "Pally" for PLD are user made up names to look.. i don't know, funny?
Using "toon" to refer to a character with no relevance or relation to cartoons always sounded incredibly stupid to me and I never understood it. Also, "DPS" objectively makes more sense than "DD" in this game since "DPS" is officially in the UI for the description of those classes/jobs.
ya. people on WoW use it all the time.. then we have guild wars and other places. people just think of stupid names just to become more lazy over all in the names. it will always be a character no matter how much you think it will change.
any and all games will still say create a "character"
it is just a stupid useless word people want to dignify.
i know all about the WoW people and their toxity they bring to each community.
This thread got derailed faster than <insert train joke>

And ppl call them pixels as well so? and fyi many games like ff become anime which is a toon or animation but none of that matters all i did was ask anyone to draw my T ohh i mean character. And then ppl need to turn it into something more because they have nothing better to do? i don't really know but i'm 100% sure there are lots of drama threads being made {like always} why not go jump in one of them?Using "toon" to refer to a character with no relevance or relation to cartoons always sounded incredibly stupid to me and I never understood it. Also, "DPS" objectively makes more sense than "DD" in this game since "DPS" is officially in the UI for the description of those classes/jobs.Really? like i said ppl love drama don't theyya. people on WoW use it all the time.. then we have guild wars and other places. people just think of stupid names just to become more lazy over all in the names. it will always be a character no matter how much you think it will change.

It bothers forum posters enough to call it out every time it appears, similar to the common misspelling "tombstone". I prefer saying Pally over PLD, since I can actually pronounce one without sounding each letter individually, but I say Paladin anyhow, and SE uses it because it's been long used for everything now, most notably in WoW, where toon is also commonly used. I don't even know why FFXIV uses it since they don't allow us to actually see our DPS.
It's just a word people prefer to use, but every time someone has to come and go "lol toon".
