    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.

    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.

    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?

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".
