No, Rogue, it’s not…it’s lazy and dumb…the point I’m trying to make (minus my example with you) is that we arnt treated like PEOPLE. Even though this is a game we still game our characters names. My name isn’t “Healer” it’s Zorloff…your name isnt “Rogue” it’s Foxhound
I know right it’s Priestess Rasari not “Healer stop licking and booping the boss” like the nerve of some people.

Well…I know who’s next on my horde kill list
It’s not laziness - it’s speed - it’s quicker to say “TANK - please don’t pull so many mobs, im new to healing” or whatever. Having to look at names and remember it in the heat of battle is not realistic.
I think taking offense at strangers not remembering your character name is just looking at a reason to be offended.

Your imaginary digital character is not a real person and addressing you as HEALER instead of ZORLOFF isn’t laziness it’s convenience, and honestly you’re ranting at something just to be offended.
Exactly/boops

All this game is now is convince…if they can’t take 5 seconds when not fighting anything to AT LEAST learn the first 3 letters of players names there’s something wrong

That’s pretty much how RPG’s work.
There’s a reason why NPC’s in games like Codworth from Fallout 4 are so rare. Actually no, not even rare, more like the only one to exist, and even then, he doesn’t cover every single name out there.
Edit: oh, you mean with your group? I mean, either unless there’s more then one healer, tank, hunter, etc, a distinction isn’t either needed, or it’s just easier for them to say your role’s name and can’t find a shorthand name for you.
I always type out a person’s name.
I think some of them don’t care, but a good chunk of them appreciate it.

For me its muscle memory. Priest might be more letter then Zor but I can type priest without a second thought while Zor I have to actively think about it as I’ve never typed it before. Also unless you’re having of the same specs there’s almost never going to be any unforeseen confusion. “Zor” could be someone else IRL nickname and could answer a question directed at you,
Why would u /vote kick them?
Does feel lazy and impersonal when people say your role. Like you’re being treated as a number rather than a person.
