Is "Gratz" dead?

I still always say "Congrats," when I notice someone has leveled, outside of the Death from Below Trial. Like everyone else has said, leveling in that is far too quick to bother.

I'm with BrandX on this... I won't always see/hear it, but if I do, I will acknowledge
it with a "Gratz".

Exceptions to that are for runs like DFB/MS Raid that are veritable dingfests
and/or pure hectic chaos. I'll typically not say anything at all during those sorts
of missions.

I also disagree with the folks who assume it's insincere because it is simple or perfunctory.

Tenzhi has the right of it imho - it's polite, appropriate, and promotes a friendly
atmosphere.

I might have "Gratz" on a keybind, but that doesn't mean that I'm not happy
for their progress, or occasionally reminiscent of how much I enjoy the feeling
of levelling my own toons. Sometimes, it even makes me smile.
