LFG ICC 13k gearscore big dick dps
I understood that and I hate you for it.
Context, they are looking for a party for a raid (Ice Crown Citadel - 10 or 25 person content) in World of Warcraft circa 2010. Gearscore was an addon to quantify/auto-inspect players to make sure you could actually do the job. Also they are playing a damage class, so there are a lot of players in that pool.
I miss those days, nostalgia is one hell of a drug.
Thanks, I was pretty lost there.
Got ya covered. 👍
Great rundown but you forgot the acronym! I always read LFG as Looking For Group as well.
Apparently I'm not as hip to the lingo as I could be. I had to look up everything besides LFG. Well, I knew what "big dick" meant, but I searched that anyway just for fun.
Image search I hope?
Sometimes there's payoff to being a visual learner.

Damn I miss WotLK. I remember bear-tanking heroic 5-mans in my cat raid gear. Demolishing all the DPS on damage charts while barely taxing the healer at all. Good times.
