tl;dr: a short (or long, depending on your attention span) attempt at satire

A warm welcome to all frequent and seldom forum goers! In this age of technology we are constantly being reminded that time is a valuable commodity and that it should be spent cautiously.
With that in mind I’ve taken on an ambitious project of compiling a list of commonly used GW2 phrases and their meanings. Instead of wasting your time reading walls of text or deciphering someone’s intent, with this marvelous dictionary, you’ll be able to sum up the entirety of a post in 2 seconds flat (feel free to comment the irony).

One thing to note before we start is that, although the language might be the same, the meaning behind some words/phrases may differ greatly depending if they were used by common forum goers or by developers. Therefore all entries for developer-speak are marked with an asterisk (*) in front of them. Enjoy.

Pfffft, Scruffy is clearly in the content polishing department and not in QA. You lost me right there.

splitting up the zerg - Blasphemy.

Hah, that cracked me up.

But, what if I like blasphemy? Events are better with blasphemy. Everything is better with blasphemy. We should all embrace blasphemy!

Thank you all for your kind words. Tbh I didn’t expect anyone would read the darn thing xd

Aaaaaand why no “playhowiwant” joke? :C

I think that’d go somewhere in between of “fun is….” and “why did ANet implement <anything> instead of <something I like>”

Here’s two that are relevant to this release:
Boss Blitz - Either the Pit of Hell or best thing since sliced bread, depends on who you ask
Chaos of Lyssa Recipe - Proof that ANet should embed Scruffy with the rewards team

EDIT: Oh! I got one for “playhowiwant”
I play how I want - Go to argument when people call you out for screwing up all the time
