Everyone says it, but no one knows exactly what it stands for. I know what it means but is it short for approximate? Who started this word? I bet you say it because you dont know any better. Lets take a vote for a cooler word

    Oh so you play on a console? Well this is a console game after-all I suppose.

    Everything I read has references WoW. ESO is its own animal. Unless its lingo or slang derived freshly from ESO I won't say it. Therefore the word proc is dead to me.

    I seen you on TV! During the Baltimore riots. Those people who tried to fuel the fire to more chaos.. That was you! Really though, why you always so negative?

    ESO players use alot of gamer and MMO lingo that originates elsewhere. It'd be silly to reject terms because they aren't ESO originals. Also WoW is just a handy example of a game a large percentage of readers will be familiar with. My first encounter with the term proc, on the other hand, comes from a free to play mobile trading card game.

    That's because young children wrote the references. Proc has been around since before WoW was a glint in its devs eyes.

    Yup! When I was in high school I used to play Adventure on a college campus mainframe. Green screen monitor and you printed out your progress on greenbar line printer paper so you could memorize and repeat it later.

    We went the Apple ][e route.

    I drooled over and dreamed of one day owning an Amiga, but a lowly Radio Shack employee salary wasn't nearly enough for one of those beauties.

    My first apple was a PowerMac. I had a tracker and made electronic music MIDIs. Back then.. Before it was cool. That's why I'm rich.. Hahaha ;)

    Forget it, we rejected OPs premise and strange brand of logic. This thread is now about tech nostalgia.

    Mind sorta blown. Ever since the DAoC days I kinda assumed proc was short for "procreate." Not that I thought it derived from sexual reproduction per se, but that it was loosely associated due to an event being created from an action.

    Everything I know is a lie.
