There is no, what it means to me, words have a definition, dps means damage per second, it means doing damage while surviving, as much as you can do, that's it, everything else like support, self heal etc it's supplementary.
Definitions involve with connotation that people apply to them. That's why some entries have more then one. For example the discused role means differently to different people. That's what's interesting. How people percieve the same concept.

A word can mean some things, but it's all related to the base word, for example, kill can mean to kill a person, or to kill a project etc.... but it's all related to the base meaning of the word.
I completely disagree with you there, if all people have their own definition for words, then you remove all standards from it, words need to be precisely defined, you can;t have a word that can mean a lot of things for different people, otherwise, you lose the ability to convey a message because of the inability to define your message, also this can be exploited with disastrous results.
People go to prison for this garbage, it cannot stand, and while this discussion is inconsequential at the end of the day, words meaning many things is not.
I do not think it;'s interesting what people think what a word means, i only care about what it actually means, what i do care about is if your argument is good, and whether or not it's true, that;s what interests me.
A more correct question i think would have been, what do you do as a dps, rather then what does a dps mean to you.
If you are a DD you deal high DPS.
I am a DD and I deal low DPS. Though I don't care, because it is still enough for 90% of this games content. Mabye some day I ll reach the 25k.
However, I just find it utterly stupid that you need to "exploit" a broken animation system (animation canceling) to get peak DPS.
"Hey it is not a bug, it's a feature"
Sure... go tell some designer...
Weaving is just a broken animation system.

What does "Home" mean to you? I can virtually guarantee that it means something different to me and to others. Language is not logical, and regional differences mean that words can mean something different somewhere else.

This is what it means, as you can see, it means many things, but they are all related to the base meaning of the word, which is a place where someone belongs, on a more sentimental way then what house means, if you think it's something else, then you are factually WRONG. End of story.
There is no, my truth, your truth, what it means to me etc... There is, THE TRUTH, THE MEANING.
Yes and no.
With regards to effective communication connotation becomes more important than denotation. This is also true regarding the usage of correct grammar. As a salesperson it is important to me to match your usage in order to communicate effectively. If I don't then my chances of you buying a car from me drop regardless of how correct I am.
Calling damage classes DPS dates back at least to Everquest. It may be an awkward way of describing classes in games but it is far more widely understood than calling them the newer name of DD.
Let's get back on topic, what about different classes? Anything different to say about them?

But remember, there is only one truth, it's a fact that words have a definition, a meaning, and words, just like the truth do not change at your subjective view, now you might argue that words are a human invention so they are more malleable, but words have a definition, and do not change based on your views, otherwise there is no objective standard to know what the other person is saying, and this could lead to dangerous paths, people are already trying to change the definition of some words to make them mean pretty much anything they want, and it's causing a lot of problems, especially in certain situation, which i won;t go into details here, which is why i do not stand for this.
The main problem i have is the sentiment here, which seem to indicate that people find different meaning to a word then what is in the definition, if you think that, then you are in the wrong, and i can prove you are wrong, just by looking at the definition.

Hhhmmm... we did vAA HM with a group of 15K average DPS. Took us a while (nearly 30 minutes on last boss WITHOUT WIPING) but we did it. And it was MUCH MORE FUN than with a group able to burst everything down.

Hmm...no actually Words definitely have varying definitions based on region and phrasing and era.

Look, this will be my last post on this, because you guys just don't seem to get it.
the point of language is to have a conversation with words that have a set MEANING, if the MEANING is open to interpretation, then you cannot have a conversation because you wouldn't know what the other person is trying to say.
Words have a meaning, they are not open to interpretation, sit, is not open to interpretation, death, is not open to interpretation, you can make a phrase with it that could mean more then one thing, but the word itself has a definition.
I feel like i'm taking crazy pills, because this seems just logic to me, i mean Jesus Christ, if words don't have a set meaning, then you can't have a conversation, this is like basic logic, and by the way, knight still means knight even after all these years, same for death, same for pretty much every other word, you can create new words to describe new things, but words that already have a definition tend to stay like that, because why would you suddenly change the definition of a word? What is the point? Just to create confusion? In time people might have added some new ways where a word can be used, but it's all related to the base definition of the word, Mountain doesn't suddenly become hill overtime, because there is no reason to do it.
