It depends on who is running a hunt train I'm guessing. A lot of people have their own flavour/flair to it.
Or it could just be a meme on one server/data center.
Please show support for chocobo boots to be added -> http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/323512-Suggestion-for-an-item-to-be-added-to-gold-saucer-Chocobo-Boots
Unhappy with how they implemented Mahjong? -> http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/381358-Mahjong-is-the-most-depressing-mini-game-you-ve-added-to-XIV
Mmmm. Maybe its a datacenter meme then. My current server and Coeurl both call them horses, but diablos calls them.... something ocean based.
Lol, thanks, I didnt realize it wasnt universal.
It's just whatever flavor the train conductor decides to add to their macros. On Primal there's a conductor that calls them "stinkies" lol.
When you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.
Fluid like water. Smooth like silk. Pepperoni like pizza.
Not trying to be smart but, really the truth likely is someone decided to call it that and it stuck. I'm not sure of the accuracy of this but I'm pretty sure the popular referral of enemies or field NPCs in general as mobs came from Minecraft, or at least I seem to recall the use of the term rising around the time Minecraft got big. I mean personally every now and again I want to start referring to the enemy as Janices just because of that Roblox video "When I see Janice it is on sight".
Mob has existed since well before 2004 WoW, since it was commonly used there and those players were mixed in with folks coming from other well established MMOs like Ultima, DaoC or EverQuest. It's before your time and before my time, whatever its etymology.
I've never heard that term before. On Aether/Siren I've never heard hunt monsters referred to by any such unexpected term. Sounds like that's the way your realm's conductors like to add flavor.
Correct
"Mob" is short for Mobile Object, as in objects that were self mobile first used in the 1978 computer game M.U.D (later called MUD1) aka Multi-User Dungeon, a text based MORPG
