    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".

    When people say lot, they don't mean loot.
    "Casting lots" refers to the practice of divining an outcome from the roll of dice. Whoever has the biggest number wins.

    The practice is likely derived from Cleromancy, in which people threw bones or stones to determine fate or the will of a higher power.

    ...Let's be real though xD

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