Well whats been some reproachful class nicknamesand positive class nicknames that you have run across so far?
in WoW the biggest MMO I played to date, there would be certain negative names attached to certain classes and specs.
And some of them were good names as well
Some to name a few.
*Warrior
positive == (none known)
Negative == Warios ( aka a Warrior in WvW with Condition spec or Great Sword. lol)
*Engineer
positive== Mr fix it (for the heals and buffs)
negatives== tool man taylor.
*Guardian
positive==Healadin (name comes from WoW which Guards play a similar support role in WvW)
negative==(none known)
whats some you have seen?

Never heard Warios. Warriors nickname has always been "wars".
Also never heard those ones on Engineer you've mentioned. It is always either "Eng" or "bomberman".
Also, Healadin is derogatory, implying that one can do not BUT heal.
Mesmers == (negative) Hackers
I kid, I kid. I have a mesmer. Someone in WvW complained that the enemy team was using "hax" because he was suddenly pulled in and fell off the tower. For those who are unaware and don't play mesmers, we have the 4th skill on our Focus that can activate a "pull".
And also we have portals.
distorting warrior in any way always makes me think of this:

The more I'm around the forums on this site, the more bitter I become.
