I'm sure most people here have seen people looking for a group for
Threat fr
om Above
but one thing I have noticed is how the term has changed since the release of patch 3.1. I will list the changes that I have seen and what I want to know is: Has anyone else noticed this on their servers?
Start
Anyone for Threat from Above?
Can someone help with Threat from Above?
Threat from Above anyone?
LFG Threat from Above
Anyone want to do Threat from Above and Battle Before The Citadel
LFG Threat and Citadel
LFG TFA/BBTC
tfa pl0x
End
So has anyone else noticed this change in general chat on their servers because i've watched this change slowly and it's quite interesting to see what letters -or words- people will cut off just to save pushing a few buttons.

My server (Perenolde) started as:
LFG Threat From Above
then
LFG TFA
and finally
lfg tfa
I was amazed. One person started the acronym TFA, and the rest is history. :|

Waiting for prot pally to finish so you can get on with your own FTL.

Early on I'd offer to start groups up, but there was always one guy who'd immediately AFK -- and was still in Dalaran. I just don't have the patience for that. So now I check to see if anyone is waiting and if they're not, I immediately pull him. If people want to join in, I never turn down an invite.

On my server it's normally "lfg threat/battle". I never try to find partners for this in Dalaran because I do not want to deal with waiting for people to get their toons out to Icecrown. I just say lfg once or twice while fighting champions and find a group that's in Icecrown and ready to go. Thankfully all 4 of these dailies take 15 minutes and it's pretty much all done on auto pilot at this point.
One thing I do notice is that some people STILL try to be #$%^&*!s about it and spam click tag Chillmaw. Happened to my group today. Some dk ran up and tagged him right in front of us. QQ many of you will say. Alright, but I went a step further. I ran in and started going holy nova crazy. I tagged two of the bombardier mobs when they dropped down so he couldn't finish his quest. Next time Chillmaw spawned I successfully tagged all 3 of the bombardier mobs again so the dk couldn't grab them. In the end he ended up having to wait for another respawn and kill it again. Lesson learned (hopefully): do not try to be a smartass and tag mobs a group is ready to kill. Instead, politely ask for an invite.

It's just taken a while for the lazy people (poor typists) to get around to doing these dailies.

Oh wow, I'm not the only person who plays on Perenolde!
I'm amazed at how lazy people can get; it just makes it so much more pleasant on the eyes if you take the extra NO TIME to press all the buttons in a word.
PERENOLDE POWER! /highfive
I don't know if it's human nature to make things easier, but sooner or later, everything will have an acronym.

Personally, I prefer the phrase "LFG Chillmaw". That's what seems to be the most popular way of referencing that quest.
Sure, I usually want the citadel done as well, but I can do that quest myself no problem and I'm not going to rule out a Chillmaw group just cuz they ain't doing the citadel too.
