RAYBCN✭and what means BiS?
>>I know for a fact that Viper's sting is quite deadly in PvP because of it's 5th bonus. Other than that the set is mediocre at best. Dreugh King is quite good for heavy DD's, but hardly BiS.<<0 -

It means Best in Slot, slot meaning the spots where you equip items.
BiS usually refers then to the sets that give you mathematically the highest numbers in DPS, heals, ect.Edited by driosketch on July 31, 2016 7:10PMMain: Drio Azul ~ DC, Redguard, Healer/Magicka Templar ~ NA-PC

camknox✭✭✭I am sick to death of the utter nonsense that is this kind of statement in zone chat;
Selling XXXXX 3k PST me. Or XXXX Guild recruiting PST me for more information.
Seriously people. It means Please Send Tell, as in send me a private message. There's no need for a ME. Let's put it into the sentence;
Selling XXXXX 3k Please Send Tell me. XXXX Guild recruiting Please Send Tell me for more information. GAAAAAHHHHH1 -
camknox✭✭✭Also sorry but;
GTG is not Got To Go. It began life as Good To Go. I know recently it's been bastardized into the newer version as Got To Go but it shouldn't be so stop it now.
GTG - GOOD TO GO. Usage;
Leader: OK everyone we're going to go kill that elite mob over there. Everyone ready?

C0wrex✭✭✭✭Yay.... always wanted to know what noob meant "We are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will, to strive, to seek and not to yield."
-Tennyson, Ulysses0 -
Sunver✭✭✭Dunno if someone pointed that out, but its essential!
Teabagging: an act of crouching and standing up repeatedly on your dead foe's head imitating english breakfast most holy ritual: making a tea. It's performed after crushing victory over someone or just to annoy people after you defeat them.
I'm not gonna write whats the bag and whats the pot in this imitation in fear of this post being deleted by mods But know this: teabagging should be performed only by male characters! When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!0 -

✭I've seen a lot of new players asking in /z this week "Why is everyone typing 'X' ?"
The reason is someone will call out "LFG to run (insert Delve/Dolmen/WB)" in zone chat. Everyone who wants in that group types 'X'.
X =send me a invite.I'm not prejudiced; I hate everyone equally !0
Great thread! Worth the necro!
