im confused!!!! stop saying acronyms i dont know!!lol : World of Warcraft General Discussions

I hear alot of things like mobs and stuff but i have no idea what they are and i think if i knew, i might get a little better. so please tell me. and i dont mean all acronyms like "lol" or "jk" but WoW acronyms. thx





and sorry if i didnt spell acronyms right lol

mob = enemy monster
AH = auction house
GM = IRS
RFC = Ragefire Chasm
WC = Wailing caverns
SFK = Shadowfang keep
BFD = Blackfathom Deeps
RFK = Razorfen Kraul
RFD = Razorfen Downs
XR = Crossroads
BG = Battlegrounds
SM = Scarlet Monestary
UC = Undercity
Org = Orgrimgar.....however you spell it....
ZF = Zul' Farrak
Uld = Uldaman
ST = Sunken Temple
MC = Molten Core
Scholo = Scholomance
BoP = Binds on Pickup
BoE = Binds on Equip
SW = Stormwind
IF = Ironforge

i know im forgetting some....i just got tired of typing....its amazing how much of your brain you put into these games to remember all this stuff...

k and 1 last thing, whats grinding?

Grinding is killing the same monsters (mobs) repeatedly for exp and/or loot...

eg:

Say you're in duskwood, you kill undead repeatedly:
"Grinding the undead in duskwood"
"Grinding plaugespreaders in duskwood" etc

Grinding can get boring real fast, but post 35ish, its imo, the quickest way to level.... (with a little STV thrown in for good measure)

to add to the abbrevs

BRD = Blackrock Depths
STV = Stranglethorn Vale
BB = Booty Bay
MT = miss tell (when someone posts in the wrong channel by mistake, not sure how many people use this tho) ("sorry MT")

UBRS = Upper Black Rock Spire
LBRS = Lower Black Rock Spire
DM = Dunemaul or Dead Mines

grinding = killing mobs just for xp, rather than to complete a quest

GZ = gadgetzen
