YOU SUX has now been officially replaced by YOU FAIL.
YOU FAIL and Q Q are now officially the most ridiculously overused saying by far. Hopefully the go out of fashion soon.

It's true that the game has a few regular WC asses but that's not "so many people".
I was referring to these message boards more than actually in game. You are correct that I do not hear it very often in World Chat, but that is partially because there are not very many fights in World Chat on my server (at least not that I notice).0 -

See, now that was actually fine. I have no problem with that use of the word fail. Now if you said, "you just a fail" or "you a fail barb" then it would be wrong.0 -
I haven't heard "fail" referred to until I started playing PWI. Previously MMO's I've played, those terms either weren't used or just the people I regularly grouped with never used the term "fail" ... It wasn't hard to figure out what it meant ... just a new term for me which I've heard that other people have used in previous games (that I haven't played).Batista (85 Cleric) {Semi-Retired Character}

'You Fail' is like saying 'You Suck'.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

fail, qq, and GG are some of my favorite words to use0

ಥ_ಥ is my favorite, of course.
EDIT: I hope that ಥ_ಥ becomes a new meme...or popular...or whatever.
EVERYONE USE ಥ_ಥ NOW![SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Yeah, it's me. Don't read to much into it, though; I'm only here for myself now, killin' time and chillin' when need-be. So sue me. Tch...0 -

Wrong.
WoW did not generate "95%" of what you claim are "idiotic terms". What you claim is an idiotic term is actually a widely accepted meme that originally came from a video game, Blazing Star, and then spread via Internet message boards in general as "You Fail" dropping the last word "it" and eventually spawning the term "Epic Fail".
To reiterate, the term does not come from WoW.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0
