You use INC for Incrdibly Tough? On Fenrir we just use IT.

We also use AFv2 for Relic/AFII whatever drops in Dynamis gear.

WC-Bathroom break.

I dont know how that came to be but i think alot of jp players use that so we eventually adapted it into our acronyms.

[Luc]

I think Miriel meant to type IT, Captain.

Also, I think WC means Wash Closet or something like that, which is the bathroom in Japan, I guess.

Another term is BCNM which is Burning Circle Notorious Monster.

[Miriel]

Oh yeah, there's "w" for laughing or something like that. NA players use it when they're trying to be like JP players. >_>

[Yeargdribble]

Yeah... just like most of us know what 'w' means I'm sure they know what 'lol' means so for the most part there's no reasont o say 'w' instead except to be a Japanophile. But I've been guilty of that myself so w
