I know a few people who say 'lol' in real life. Admittedly, it does occur at times when they would otherwise laugh out loud, but it's a little... purpose defeating? :P
I've never heard someone say 'wtf' in real life though, that one's pushing it.
My girlfriend will use 'cee-bee-bee', but at least that's a shortcut.
It's not used in WoW often, but QED is one that bugs me, firstly, when people don't know how to use it, and secondly, when people use it incorrectly, because their argument is so flawed it's laughable.
The one that really bothers me isn't l33t, though. It's "rouge". Rouge is a type of make-up applied to the cheeks; rogue is a stealthy backstabbing class that is a staple of the fantasy genre.
Is it a simple typo? Yes. Will I mock you endlessly for it? Yes. "I need advice for my rouge." "Okay - are you summer or autumn spec? Would you consider your cheekbones pronounced? Do you plan on going dual-wield brushes or powder puffs?"
Absolute awesomeness.

Mostly I try not to get too bothered by a lot of the acryonyms/whatever because it's so prevalent in the game. The only things I personally do are lol when i actually laughed out loud, otherwise haha will work, and i've started using things like pwn and roflwaffles (when something is really really funny) mostly because i like the sound of them. A few people at work play wow and I like talking about pwning or getting pwned when telling some story about what I did in the game the night before.
The main thing that annoys me from other players is "plox" or "plx" or whatever hell else variation of something that's supposed to be an abbreviation of please. I don't know where it came from and haven't bothered to look up it's origin but i would rather see plz and that's only 3 letters. Plz, please.
Another that sort of bothers me, and some others have touched on this, is this strange misuse of lol. I'm 28 and have been using the internet for 13 years or so and lol means laughing out loud. I find it very strange when I read something where someone "loled IRL." That's what lol means. Laughing out loud. That only happens in real life. Typing lol conveys that to the cyber-world.
I've learned to accept whatever over time but I'm sure I respect people more subconsciously that type like there's a good chance their iq is over 100.
edit: did some research and it appears "plox" came from "plx" from "plz, thx" which is of course nowhere near "...please, thanks" :)

I have very nearly split up with my girlfriend on at least 3 occasions for using that meaningless bastardization of a word that is meant to convey an apology.

If you're going to insult someone's intelligence, at least make yourself look intelligent.
