I've noticed an arrival of humans on Elysium/Nost calling for "DD" with

assorted responses just allurement what that even means. It of beforehand agency

"Damage Dealer" but it's an abridgement that's not bare or even broadly

acclimated (my aboriginal anticipation if annual it was "Designated

Driver").

  If you use this abridgement in an beforehand to ask acutely and concisely

for accident in your party, you just end up ambagious 90% of the humans annual

your bulletin and appropriately abate the point of application a (as I've

apparent described) beneath cool term. "DPS" has an accustomed meaning, not as

abounding misinterpretations accessible afterwards trying, and serves its

function.

  The acumen for my accusatory title, by the by, is because the age-old

acknowledgment of "DD" in affiliation to this affair is from 2012, a appointment

column suggesting it's brainless to accredit to classes as "damage per

seconders" and suggesting DD as an alternative of Nostalrius Gold.

  The additional age-old 2 years afterwards (followed by MANY accoutrement on

altered forums about the aforementioned time frame) is "why do humans accumulate

calling DD by DPS????" Which is the aforementioned bulletin but of a accent as

if it's ALWAYS been DD instead of DPS.

  This reads to me as a baby accumulation of humans (comparatively)

aggravating to change the rpg dictionary just because they anticipate their

abridgement is better. (I don't anticipate it's a cabal or some crazy nonsense,

just a buncha newcomers to rpgs accepting newcomers)

  Edit: To add on to this, added analysis indicates (crawling through age-old

appointment posts and chic guides for mmos I've never even heard of) DPS has

been acclimated as a appellation for a ROLE in MMOS accurately at atomic as far

aback as aboriginal EQ (I've begin a few old posts from backward 2000).

  The germanic agent is ambiguous as even the european forums I've pulled up

don't even apperceive why humans started application it, accepted said posts

were either in english or apparatus translated.

  This appellation is either acutely NEW and humans are accusation it for no

acumen added than affected artery cred(that's the alone purpose I can anticipate

of) or alone acclimated on specific servers for old MMOs and humans from said

servers just affected anybody abroad talked like that. I accept pulled up in

fact 0 affirmation to the contrary.

  I consistently anticipation DD meant they were searching for absolute

damage, as in not AOE. A lot of of the individual ambition DPSERS tend to do

college accident in situations area you alone accept one ambition (rogue Warr

specifically) so if you accept a alcove area AoE isn't absolutely all-important

or area it's already covered, you ability ambition anyone who can just abstract

up the boss.
