Ask them…or just call them red
Ugh…
/Eyeroll
It does get a little dehumanizing to constantly be referred to as “DPS” and “Warr”.
Well then.

seems simple enough to me. I’m not going to remember the names of 40 random people that I’ll never interact with outside of the instance with. you are tank or dps and if i need to specify ill say warrior tank or warrior dps like the majority of player in this game treat me i will treat them the same . they are npc only there to help me get to the end of the dungeon or raid.
On one hand, I understand saying a shortened version of the class name is more so a preference then anything, since saying a shortened version of the character will accomplish the same goal.
That said, I’ve discovered people who do say the class name are often the ones to go:
“Hey warr, do X mechanic.” while ignoring the fact there is four other warriors in the group.

Yeah that would be nice…Guild Wars2 has it somewhat and other games too I’m sure where as we’re limited to what…12 letters? I’d love to be able to add last names to my characters and show that some are of the same family…kinda hard to do on a restriction though so I’ve had to figure out nicknames for my character names lol.

Yea 100%. And most of the time its a “hey tank behind!” or “heals dispel pls!”
You don’t really need a full intro for a quick 12 like that.
Roles are often the easiest and fastest identifier to convey things clearly, compared to typing out names.
“Hey You, taunt the boss”
“You needs to go soak the mechanic”
“You go first”

Haha, I know I’m probably one of the worst fringe cases for this, but helps convey the reasoning well.
The funny situations from this name are always amazing though.
