Anchor = the target of a debuff which then affects stuff around it. As in "don't kill my anchor". The debuff goes when the anchor dies.

Pretty sure the author meant to say, "the target of a debuff which then compels your teammates to kill it to the total disregard for their health/exp/life goals."

In most of the "How to be a better whatever" guides, people are constantly making reference to an "ED". what does "ED" mean? It seems to be a very unpopular topic as well. Its not endurance, and it isn't a proper name either; My guess is that it has to do with Nerfing or an update change. I am slowly getting used to the lingua paragonica but there are still gaps.
Thank you very much in advance, and i hope this isn't a duplicate post either.

ED is Enhancement Diversification a function introduced in I6 that means that Enhancements give a much lowered return once the bonus they give goes over a certain threshold value.
It is practically impossible to reach this threshold value with Training or Dual Origin Enhancements, but with Single Origin Enhancements it means that slotting more than 3 of a single type of Enhancement starts to return bugger all.

What does QFT mean?
Quoted For Truth
Edit: When you read someones post that you agree with totally you put the quote in a post and put QFT under. Well at least that's what I've observed. Basically: This quote is very true or something along those lines.
So my question is, what's PuG?

two things that need clarification not because they are wrong but because tehy have a few meanings.
1. woot - from P&P rpgs, meaning wow loot. Now its used whenever something good happens Woot SO. woot I leveled.
2. nOOb - actually stands for New Out Of Box. But is more commonly used for someone who refuses to learn the game but apparently knows everything about it.

I know this is the most complete nooblet question...but what does AT stand for? I've been reading alot of posts trying to catch up on this game (haven't played in well over a year) and I know it is an acronym when referring to a player character. But what does it stand for?

It stands for archetype. It's not a true acronym; more of an abreviation of a single word. People also misuse it in place of powerset sometimes.
