What are you trying to find out? Plus, that's kind of an odd question for a first post. . .
Odd indeed. I didn't know that there was such a thing as multiboxing jargon.
I'd just be happy to find out what TL: DR and IMBA mean.... lol
TLDR - Too long, didn't readQuote:

thanks for the reply Carbs. I realize those aren't boxing -specific, but they've been driving me nuts for a while now....lol My brother has been playing since launch and didn't even know what IMBA meant. We settled on maybe "I aM Bad Ass" lol .
If it means imbalanced... then according to my GF, I've been IMBA for quite a while now. Guess I can stop trying to upgrade now. WHEW :D
IWT - interact with target
FTL - focusless/targetless/leaderless control scheme where any of your toons can automatically become the lead upon switching to them
Those are the only two acronyms I wasn't familiar with before I started boxing. When I first came here I thought FTL was a speed hack (FTL = faster than light in my experience) or something :D
Maybe CTM = Click to Move.
ah didn't think of FTL
Does the OP plan on coming back to this thread and telling us what it was he wanted to know?
I was a bit unhappy when FTL started to catch on for the focusless/leaderless method. I always thought of it as 'for the lose'.
it's a fair question. The OP is trying to post things to get past the noob limit. Better than fdswerg like I read a couple times.
Found this looking up IMBA
Whod a known WoW is a strategy game opposed to an MMO :eek:Code:
A gaming lingo.
imba (short for imbalanced) is derived from Strategy games (e.g. Warcraft) or MMOs. It is usually used to describe when a player or a character gets way too powerful to defeat that it becomes unfair/impossible for the opponents to play against him.

I stand corrected. But youngun I am not, just never played Warcraft. First RPG was ultima II on the Atari 800.Quote:

Yeah.. one of my greatest regrets was buying Ultima in New York, travelling back home to Paris and then realising it wouldn't load on my Apple IIgs so never played it. Had to stick to Wizardry hehe. I was only 8Quote:

I agree. I always find myself thinking "for the lose" when I read posts here :(Quote:
