Probably the biggest change that you'll notice is that the henchmen AI is now smart enough for them to use res sig in combat...just not smart enough to res sig a monk first if you and a monk die, and not smart enough for the monk to res you until like 2 minutes has passed.

I regularly have male Warriors chase my little monk in black Ascalon armour or my Ranger in 15k Druid and after a while PM me asking - do you have a bf? or something along those lines. After a while chatting, I casually mention I'm a guy playing a female character. Their reactions are priceless. Hoorah for messing with sexually insecure little teenagers.

Now there is a new spin on it - messing with kids minds *grin* now I have just plain evil thoughts!

Great to hear different views on the updates btw - looking forward to putting that new AI to the test!

I play mostly female characters, and I'm a guy, I'd rather watch a female than a guy while I play. That said, I'm married and have a son who is 13.

I see the sexual harrassment all the time, not as bad as you experienced, but pretty bad most of the time. With the lighter harrassment I usually do what -Loki- does, tell them I'm a guy

In the rules of conduct point 3:
You may not use sexually explicit, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive language.

Do what I do, when the harrasment is a little over the top, report them. Take a screenie, make a note of the time (include timezone) and send it off to Anet/NCsoft support. Don't tell the person that you reported them unless you want a stalker or even worse harrassment.

It is the members of the GW community that hold the power to elliminate alot of this immature harrasment, don't just put up with it, do something about it.

Presear is where people have constant naked danceparties 24/7.

LA is where those naked danceparties last for about 7 hours a day.

Droks is where people dance naked on their own... but don't leave a female char afk there. The wammos you know... the wammos.

As you can see, they do it less the further you go into the world.

In fact, in some areas, people try to be as fully dressed as possible (FoW armours) and they discuss GW isntead of eachother!

Man, I hope somebody hits on my female character...

I'd love to see their reaction when I tell them I'm a guy!

Thats usually crap you see in presear... Stupid idiot must have learned how to post his char >_<
I would say report crap like that... its BS, this game is not a yahoo chat room >_< If you are looking for a/s/l then do it elsewhere >_<!!!!!!

Uhh... what? I don't frequent LA, but I've never seen that...

If you go to great temple, though, you'll see all kinds of stupid chat.

Aejorii · Sep 29, 2006, 06:45 PM // 18:45

Ugghhhhh

The Great Temple is the worst place in the entire game. Saying the chat there is stupid is being too nice to them.

Rera · Sep 29, 2006, 06:56 PM // 18:56

Keep local chat off or risk your sanity.

The temple of balt is one of the most fetid cesspools of stupidity I have ever had the misfortune to visit.

I don't think I've ever been wammo'd. Then again, a female warrior in full kurzick plate probably doesn't do much for teen fantasies. And I'm generally not stupid enough to stand still (or worse, /sit) when I'm playing my ranger or monk.
