Terminology. Why does it bug me and others?

[Blaize]

DD = Damage Dealer (this is FF now WoW), when you went to WoW you learned the terminology, now you've come to FF, its Damage Dealer.
Toon = cartoon character (which fits WoW's art style, not FF's)
DPS = Damage Per Second. If you /shout LF 1 dps, you are and always will be shouting for a DD who can do 1 Damage Per Second.

Credit for stupid terms is given to WoW because before WoW, the MMO market was far smaller, so even though all of these games existed before WoW, they were generally small, so most of these people claiming the terms were coined before WoW, likely never even played those games, and are simply tagging along others reasons to try and push their way.

FF11 was the 2nd largest MMO ever until WoW, which means all of these other games where these terms were "coined" were far smaller, and FF11 wins.

Hi Mr. Know-It-All...I'm just here to point out that DD infact means DIRECT DAMAGE (As opposed to DoT Damage over Time), even in FFXI this is what it meant, it was the XBox Generation of XI-ers that never grasped this and believed it was Damage Dealer.
