A few smart@$$3$ thought it was a "death threat" and took offense. Man, I started using this and got reported in a few games. A few smart@$$3$ thought it was a “death threat” and took offense.

With ease they took Frostwolf and Towers
But Relief Hut they found
Had defenses quite sound
And the battleground lasted for hours

And everyone should learn em for sure. But in various chat channels we are not charged by the letter. Personally I always enjoy it when somebody actually types out the full name of the enchant or the instance etcetera. Why not type it out? In the heat of battle you don't have time. But at other relaxed times? Just a quirk of mine....NBD (no big deal). PS the one amazing failing of horde in AV .....you almost never see players wait just a few seconds for a mounted GROUP to form. Almost never ride together. For instance, it is far and away best for horde to go after the Aid Station rather than Stormpike graveyard. If a few engage at Stormpike while a large number of other players ride TOGETHER under the bridge and through SPGY....most of them will make it to the Aid Station. An they will take it. An OT comment on abbreviations.

The ones who fall for it & /afk out are probably better off...they're saved from what likely would have been 20 excruciating minutes of profanity, insults and repeated "just let them win" whining.

My boyfriend was harassed once by an idiot asking a portal to Shattrath after a bad dungeon... He sent him to Darnassus... (he didn't have the portal to Exodar...) And that macro is fun, but I don't know AV enough to fully understand it... Like Jemhadar said, I often get lost with abbreviations. On my server, we sometimes use french abb, or english abb, or sometimes full english names but if you don't know the traduction in French, well... Yesterday, one of my guildies asked something about "cdb". And everyone : "cdb ??" "champ de bataille"... Noone ever uses the french word, we use "battleground" or "bg" Isn't that confusing... ^_^ The portals are fun !

Pretty slick, tho not nice. Does that actually work if you're from different realm? Our mages at the end of a raid night naturally drop a portal to send everyone home. However, if you're not paying attention you can end up in Exodar! Oooh, mage portal out of a BG. Pretty slick, tho not nice. Does that actually work if you’re from different realm?

Never fallen for it, but I've seen others fall for it. Another funny thing that I've seen is for mages to create a portal to [major city] and ask people to click on it ... people leave in droves :P I’ve seen that macro used multiple times before.

I know I didn't for a lot longer then my first few games. Actually it was not until I scrolled around the map and looked at the names of all the icons until I understand exactly what all the abbreviations meant. Whomever wrote that is epic. totally win. @PT: Some people may not and there is nothing wrong with that either. I know I didn’t for a lot longer then my first few games.
