What does GOAT or 'GOATing' mean?
I've heard this a few times in Guild Wars 2, usually in the context of a PvP or WvW match.
Someone will be complaining that
There was too much goating in that match
or
That guy is a professional goat
What does it mean?
Solution 1:
It's something I rarely hear, but associated with multiplayer online games (especially PvP in with objectives) it usually means scapegoating.
Now I haven't played a lot of GW2 but in WoW PvP or LoL matches you sometimes accuse someone of goating if he blames another teammate or his internet connection.
For the term "He's a professional goat"... well I've never heard that to be honest but I think it's someone who always blames others.
Solution 2:
One suggestion I got from someone in-game was Greatest Of All Time
Indicating a player who was playing really well.
So
There was too much goating in that match
could mean there were several players in a PvP match that were untouchable.
I just can't remember what context I heard it in.
