What's my name again?

[Arriko]

J I N is closer together than B L M, so there's is no reason excuse to say blm when Jin is faster to type.

Honestly if someone is gonna call me by my job/class by all means say Red Wizard! :3

haha exactly !

I always found it strange people refer by job abbreviations in this game but can understand it because parties are fleeting acquaintances compared to FF11. Then again, because the relationship is fleeting, I suppose they don't know you, and so using your job title is the equivalent of say Sir or Ma'm in RL

In 11, people would more commonly refer to people by nicknames or by the first syllable of their name.

I think we are all finding out that this community is the complete opposite of 11. If I could have anything in ARR from 11, it would be the community style. But times have changed! A whole new generation is playing mmo's now a days compared to us 2002 ffxi'ers

People choose weird things to give a crap about.

Well people calling me by my job isn't annoying me at all.

Why ? Because im only ok with friends and FC using my name.
I don't like when PUG players call me by my name because it sets some kind of proximity i certainly don't want to have with them.

When im in DF or whatever with people i don't know, im random to them and theyre random to me. Calling people by their jobs is a way to keep some distance. Strategy wise we're only jobs anyway.


PS: What annoys me above all, is when some random guys talk to me as if we were friends. I just want to tell them to f*ck off.
But... I don't because im not that rude, not every time at least.

I don't care if people call me WHM or Heals, I'm used to it.

My FC calls me by my name.

If I'm in combat in a pug, I can type out "drg lb" a lot faster than I can try to spell his long anime name. I have no care what pugs refer to me as, my e-feelings will be fine.

I do have a tank friend that types out everyone's first and last name, capitalized properly, when addressing them even in dungeons. I find that a bit odd to be honest ♥

[Meleena]

Depends of the name, if you have a weird name or its hard to write it then youre not gonna be called by your name.

I am called "MEL" all the time, i am never refered to as Monk.

[Terius]

It'll be a cold day in hell before I validate someone's name choice of, 'Chloud' or 'Sephyroth'

[Naunet]

It doesn't really bother me if I'm referred to as my job, but I do make a point of referring to everyone I group with by their character names. It fosters a more friendly party environment in my experience.

[Raminax]

Doesn't bother me if people call me Tank, Pld, Heal, Whm, or whatever. However, I do make a point to call people by their first names, unless I'm stressed and need to quickly convey something in chat (BLM LB!). It's what I consider common courtesy, I suppose.

[Selkie]

In FFXIV I prefer people in instances call me WHM. So much more disorienting when people try to get chummy while telling me how to play my class.

[Babydoll]

I ignore people when they refer to me as my job lol. Cesil isn't that hard to type, come on -_-
