It's called "Loot"

[Cyrus-Wallace]

As long as people get it, that's enough.

You can disagree all you want, it's your right as an individual. But 'lot' means what it means and has been a part of the English vernacular for... a really long time. It exists in a great many anecdotes and slang, some of which have been mentioned in this thread. Disagree to your heart's content, won't change a thing.

Damn, and here I thought this thread of just a few words that I posted on a whim at 3AM would change the world. /sarcasm

It's like saying "DD" instead of "DPS" when referring to a damage class. Acronyms/terminology that followed over from FFXI.

Most people just say "roll" instead of "lot".

You're a Damage Dealer, you're not a Damage Per Second.

While i agree with you, they are indeed a damage per second, because ppl using this terminology comes from games where all that matter are the numbers and the persons are worth nothing, they are absolutely expendables, in the bad way, not like Stallone and his crew :P

Looting is a real (if old) Word.

The Loot is of course the spoils of the looting.

English isn't even my main Language and I know that <.<

Who are you saying "you guys" to?
Everyone in this thread has said it's a real word. Did you even read?

So is "lot" though it is typically used as a noun, not a verb.
The "looting" has already been done, what is being discussed is the casting of lots for who gets to loot the loot so to speak as loot can be used as both a noun and a verb.
Most people use "roll" or "rolling" as it is based of a 1-100 RNG more akin to dice rolls.

True, but... In most other games DD is used to shorten "Direct Damage" vs. DOT or "Damage over time"

FFXI is the only game I've played where DD meant Damage DEALER prior to that I only ever heard DPS Class or just the shorter DPS.
