“Add” - what Tanks apparently can’t do. As in:

Q. “Why the
%**& did you just pull &*!*@! 17 ^^^
Demonic Exhalers of Ghastly Flatulence??

A. “Errm... I only counted three...sorry”

AE - short for “aggro enhancement”. Spell guaranteed to attract ravenous, butt
chomping mobs from every point on compass faster than the All You Can
Eat Buffet at a Steven Seagal look-a-like contest.

AFK - “away from keyboard” - an otherwise helpful character designation that, once announced, is immediately and permanently forgotten by the player, becoming a signaling condition analogous to the perpetual left turn blinker favored by senior citizens.

“Alt” - lesser PC created for the sole purpose of avoiding other players.

“Camp” - the precise geographical location where the most violent and deadliest mobs are guaranteed to spawn at any given time. With predictable and lamentable consequences.

“Changed” - phrase used by game developers to announce that a hitherto enjoyable aspect of play has just been made much, much worse. As in, “We changed the way that
mobs react to the Thong of Ferocity” indicates that “The Thong of
Ferocity that you just paid 10 plat for will never work the way it used to ever
again. Not even in a million years. Ho, ho, ho. Please throw it away.”
