DPS is flat out stupid. Bring back DD

[Mugiawara]

Honestly, I don't care how long it's been around. Damage Per Second doesn't make sense as a role descripter. Never did, doesn't now, won't for the next 7+ years. I really don't understand how DPS even managed to replace DD to begin with.

Then Jesus, call it DD. What's stopping you?
Now I know you're being serious. Who cares?
We all know what it means anyways. Someone who deals damage.
If people don't know go "DD = DPS" or vice versa.
You're not going to force people to say a term that you prefer.
Just like when people say 'Toons' [And that bugs the askdjkasdjk out of me]
I'm not going to tell people to say characters. Not that big of a deal guys.

"Who cares?" I do. People who agree with me care. Hell, even the people who don't agree with me care to some degree by taking the time to tell me they don't care. :/ Yeah, it's not really a big deal. My life's not going to end as a result of continuing to be called DPS, although I'd rather not see DPS at all anymore. I'm a DD, but every time I que, I'm going to see my slot as DPS. I've just always been a fan of terminology making sense. I'm glad I created this thread regardless, because I did get a bit of enjoyment out of reading the debate of how the term tank is actually a misnomer.
