WoW term. Too stupid to enter a battleground, while also being too idiotic to do something constructive or useful with his/her game time/life, so they are often sighted grouping up and attacking lower level players from behind while they fight something else or recover from a fight.

Get the ganker mug.verb (Online, MMORPG usage)
1. To kill another player using a group of players
2. To kill another player using any means that places the played to be killed at a substantial disadvantage.
Widely popularised following the success of World of Warcraft, the word "gank" comes from "gang kill", used in earlier MMORPGs like Ultima Online. A gang kill occurs when a group (or gang) of players attack a single one and kill him/her with relative ease.
The meaning has now extended to any player kill where the killed player had little chance to avoid death.
