Cant you just type transfer? Xfer just sounds stupid IMO

I believe people call it xfer because it is universally recognized and understood as transfer yet is 4 letters shorter. In average, it takes approximately 4 extra seconds to type those extra numbers. Depending on how many transfers or 'xfers' a person does in a day, this could lead to substantial time savings over a long period of time. Assuming someone needs two transfers or 'xfers' every day, and they have been playing for a years time, this would save them 2920 seconds a year or 48.66 repeating minutes per year. In this 48+ minutes one could use this time farming. Assuming someone makes about 30K an hour farming, this equates to 24.3K approximately. Therefore one can assume typing transfer instead of xfer is indirectly costing that player 24.3K Gold per year.

Lol.... I guess you can't beat that.

My definition.... "X" is cross, so to me it is a crossfer if that makes sense.. So if so eone is to crossfer itd to cross items over to another account. I dont even know if that makes sense but, there you go.

Unfortunatly, while typing this post you wasted 15 of your 48.66 minutes. Get off the forums and back to farming

Can't you just type in my opinion instead of Imo?

OK, Merry Crossmas!

Instead of saying afk why don't we just say Away from computer instead? And instead of xfer we say transfer and instead of brb we say be right back? Get my point? If you were asking why we called the abbreviation xfer, well it needed to be something.

People say xfer for the same reason as you typying IMO in this post. Its shorter and easier to use.
