Eventually I just stop saying "congrats" or "nice one" after I've had to say grats to people too many times, it's not that I want to be rude it's just when there's about 5 people all dinging constantly sub level 50 eventually you get a little sick of typing it every 10 seconds lol.
As for never coming across it thats odd, it comes from the original everquest and has been about for a very long time. I never liked it then don't really now Not the whole congratulating people thing just the word ding, it never sounded like a ding anyway lol.

Im only lvl 140 now, so im sure ill start hitting the slow down now.
BTW: Is there anywhere that shows the xp required per lvl?
In a team hunt there is also a practical reason for letting the group know when you've "dinged"; XP earned is based on the highest skill level being used. As you (and others) ding, and the XP goes down to a point where its not "cost effective" any longer, its time to move on to a different mob. Also, in many team hunts I've participated in, the goal of the hunt was to get one or more players a certain number of levels (usually to one of the "important" levels), so letting the group know you've dinged gives them a feel for how well you're progressing.
