Terminology ([M] depending on definition)

[Duffman]

Tele-TAXI = you know. you pay a whm to teleport you to someplace.
Tele-WHORE = what i call it.


There is a reason I did not post this in the flameboard. Typing versus
speaking leaves a lot to be desired. To me this is an affectionate and
comedic term for the service.

Most of you have played other game; some played FPS or FlightSims.
(or a psuedo combination of the two like Battlefield: Desert Combat;
though it's not really flight simming) In those games the term whore
is used sort of affectionatly for one who always picks ONE weapon or
ONE vehicle.

In the BF: DC, I was a chopper-whore. I always flew the choppers.
In AA, I was a 203 whore (nade launcher).

So, when I first had seen this tele-taxi services rendered in ffxi, I
started calling the Tele-Whores in my head. Until now I've never
opened that thought to the ffxi community because someone might
take it wrong.

Reason for posting? Dunno, I just read about WHM tele-taxi'ing in
another forum and I still think it's a funny term so I thought I'd share.

Tele-whore is great.. lol.

 

[Kiere]

lol..if i am teleporting and my ls mates ask what i'm doing I tell them i'm tele-whoring!

 

[jender]

Yep - I have been a Refresh-Whore for awhile now :twisted:

 

[Duffman]

WHEW! I'm glad you took it well.
It really is a funny and non-threatening term.
Some of you might not have been familiar if you haven't played
those other kinds of games.


I loves dem whm's.

The thread was in alla... it was about whm's needing to raise
prices from 500-local and 1k distant to 1k / 2k

I'm alright with it. I usually pay 1k anyway just to get the first bid
when a bunch of players are requesting teleports for 500g.

 

[Elemmire]

I pay 1k for all my teleports and 2k-5k even for tele-yh (whatever jungle name >_>) and Tele-vhazl... if I really need to go to tele-altep I will tele myself and switch to RDM... 1 more level in RDM then I can tele mahself around ^^v

 

[Kipsy]

I'm the "D2 Bitch" I swear I got invited for a coffer key run yesterday JUST so I could D2 everybody afterwards. (I was the only level 50, everyone else was level 53+, which also makes me thing they brought me just for my D2 ablities)

 

[Firestreak]

Haha you think that's bad? Imagine being up in sky as 73 PLD and another PLD in your LS logs on, so they ask you to switch to use an instant warp scroll(whm not offering tele altep so she doesn't have to come back), switch to BLM and come back, to fight mobs that are 90% mana resistant. Tisk tisk. Left those sucka shigh and dry!
