What's my name again?

[Dyrstahl]

If they don't call me by my full name "Dyrstahl Hortahtynsyn" I stop tanking.

[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.

[Klutz64]

and you know this because?
(I sincerely hope you call me 'she' when I play my male characters, even though you have zero indicators about my real gender)

So much of this. Encounter way too many "GURLS DUNT PLAY GARMES!" him/he/his. Doesn't drive me nuts or anything (There's a guy in my FC I always accidentally call her 'cause of the character name) but it does seem a little ignorant

This is a video game, not the real world. "SMN" is good enough when I need to tell you to use LB on something. If you want me to call you Aissy, you should take the time to befriend me and make the relationship more than just two strangers in a dungeon run.

So, stepping into the video game world you're one of those who let all manners outside, eh?

And really... if you don't have time to press 2 more keys (1 extra second?), why do you think the other person has time to look on the chat window and read what you typed?
It might be just me but mostly when glancing over the chat 'aissy' catches my attention much better than 'sch'... no, I do not play a summoner. Besides, I was mainly referring to situations when time is not of essence.

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.

Going to agree with this one.

If I start calling people by name, its because I built some kind of friendship/relationship with them. If we're going to be in a party and only talk about battle tactics, to then never see you again or talk to you again... Then yea, job title suffices.

I think the point of this thread though is for people to be more personal in their MMO affairs though. So if you want people to call you by name, try being more personal toward them ^^

[Babydoll]

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