The document discusses the role of threat meters in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft. It describes how threat meters track the amount of threat, or aggro, each player generates toward enemies. The threat meter allows players in different roles like tanks, healers, and damage dealers to better coordinate their actions and abilities to optimize successful completion of group activities known as raids.
