DR could mean Divinity’s Reach, the human’s city in Kryta. The only other thing I can think of is Diminishing Returns, which refers to the system in place to…deter people from grinding/farming.

Could also mean the server Devona’s Rest (though you’d only see that in a WvW chat, I imagine).

Hobwash
[TAS] – The Asuran Squad
Devona’s Rest

Never seen anyone write ‘PvF’ but ‘PvE’ is common enough.
Player versus Environment. As opposed to PvP – Player versus Player.

Then there’s PvDoor – obvious?
And PvX – meaning Pv anything

I’m guessing it was either a typo or an intentional insult to PvE? Never heard the term myself.

We go out in the world and take our chances
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady luck dances

I can’t think of any PvF, but in a wvw context PvE would mean doing the non-capping stuff, such as taking mercenary camps or sentries

Possibly Player vs Fort? I’ve never heard of PvF, but that it the only thing I can think of for WvW.
