There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein "Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre
Other than 3 or 4 SWTOR posts I couldn't find that phrase anywhere else on MMORPG.com.

Buzzword? When was the last time you saw a Cash Shop game with the term P2W in its ad?
Now ask yourself when was the last time you saw a Cash Shop game with F2P in the ad.
I think we now have an understanding what describes a business model and what is a buzzword.
You've just helped prove the point. It's an MMORPG.com community buzzword.
If a game has a cash shop, how often does someone from the MMORPG.com community call it Pay 2 Win, whether it is or not? That's right, every fucking time.
Thus, shitty buzzword commonly used by a horrendous community. That's what's being idenfified here.

I know what you're talking about but I can't for the life of me think of the phrases or was it's been used. I need some help here - "console crowd"? I'm drawing an odd blank here for some reason.

Feel free to sprinkle any and all of these buzzwords through out your posts to validate your stance, support your position or just troll the crap out of the rest of us.
Immersion
Innovation
Meaningful - it's the MMO gamer's version of marketing's "impactful"
Dynamic
Gankfest/Gank/Ganking
WOW clone
Fanboi
Grind
P2W
Little Johnny's Mommy and every other variation of the phrase)
Mass exodus
Fail
"true/real/pure" in reference to the "right" way something should be
Hardcore/Carebear
"skill" - generates heated debates on the same magnitude of "Are NASCAR drivers athletes?"
Basement Dweller - ahhh... the classics
Veteran
Hype
easy mode
handholding
living, breathing world
single player with co-op
my own story
FOTM / flavor of the month

Add more! Will update with additional entries posted here. If some ambitious and creative fellows would like to create definitions for them, I'll gladly update this post with those as well. This post is meant ENTIRELY as a source of amusement and entertainment, and any similarity between this post and serious discourse is purely coincidental.
Edit: Do you guys not consider Triple A to be a buzzword?
Actually, I had missed your earlier post. Thanks for catching that!

Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
Of course, we should examine Game Propaganda for hype phrases too..."groundbreaking", "cutting-edge", "revolutionary", "trendsetting" etc.

Many of the challenged here believe this to be an incredibly hurtful thing to say. The "ultimate" insult. LOL
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
A term of derison directed at people who buy items in game and where their money came from.

I disagree with "dynamic" being classified as a buzzword. Also "living/breathing".and "hype".

Oh yeah. Messiah and The Second Coming.

Not really buzzwords, but overused and annoying to me:
{insert characteristic here} is what players really want.
cha-ching
lobby, grind, 'not for me', 'wow-copy' 'no-end-game', evolution.
