There is really no where to hide from stereotyping.
It's everywhere!
-Media(TV, computer, radio)
-On the street

-In heaven and hell

And yes it is in guild wars too.
So why fret over something that won't be gone ever?
Just ignore the 'insults' because its flat emotionless text and it shows ignorance and immaturity.

Pokemon was created in Japan.

Well, I have been to Europe a few times, and I thought it was really beutifull. Most of the people I talked to acually appericiated America and were happy to see me (my friend told me it was because they thought I was going to buy alot of stuff, but I try not to be a cynic).

Love, don't hate.

(even in HoH

)

I'm not hating, just explaining why American players get abuse.

heh, i'm bash the first person to say, "RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO KOREA!!" or "STUPID KOREN NOOBS!!" usually they shut up after i ask them why they're bashing on Korea. and i do my business and leave happy.

friggin nationalists. i honestly think that this War of the Worlds or whatever was a bad idea, but there isn't anything to do about it.

now, as for Japanese players.....katanas would be cool, but i hope to God that no one (by this i mean American Japanese otakus) will start roleplaying their favorite animes on GW. i mean, those cosplay conventions are bad enough. *shudder*

Making a "gobal" GW wouldn't work unless 1) they release it in english everywhere, which would be disrespectful & such to other countries, or 2) they had a super advanced ingame translation service.

I hate when i'm doing CA and we get put up against koreans (mostly cause they kick our ass, but secondly cause their names are all non-english characters). How are you supposed to communicate with someone when you can even type their name in whisper?

The original question has been answered. Thread closed before it crosses the xenophobic line like 124 others.
