Best warriors should be guys, strong and quick

Best necromancers girls, good with magic and stuff

What do you think?

Play Venus Williams at tennis, then let me know if you're quicker or stronger...

Anyway, balance. There's your reason why ingame characters should be equal. Unless you want there to be nothing but over sized male warriors running around everywhere.

Honestly, not to flame, but it sounds stupid in a game where the (supposedly) biggest feature is that everyone is equal at level 20 except in skill, builds, and equipment.

If you really feel your characters gender should be taken into account make your male warrior strength based, running and bashing skills, and make your female character tactics based, more dodgey and clever. Think creatively.

But honestly, it feels wrong to me to even have to suggest this. If you think guys are better at hitting stuff you need to watch more women's sports/strength competitions. And I'm not really sure where you're coming from with the girls being better at magic stuff...

so teh only professions i would get to pick would be cook or maid.. secondary could be necromancer or mesmer.... while the male characters are getting all te fun killing monsters, woman characters sit in the backline healing their wounds or stay in town to cook

the perfection of a sexist MMO!

Widowmaker · May 04, 2008, 09:30 PM // 21:30

Just wow....

That would be a no from me as well.

Sounds like a good idea to me, a cook profession for you ladies.

Yeah, it has no place in the game or IRL...

LOTR123 · May 04, 2008, 09:37 PM // 21:37

Wow...

That would ruin the game for females. My sister sometimes play the game because it is balanced. She hates it when she plays games that the girl is weaker and pitiful compared to the guy.

So no... just no...

This truly is just a vile little suggestion.
The entire premise of Guild Wars is skill, not inherent advantages. This defeats that purpose.

Don't even get me started on the blatant sexism here (to both genders).

please tell me why you felt it was necessary to make 2 of these things?

and i'm sorry but it's really hard holding back on resorting to true flaming with all of your rather offensive blanket statements

well that would defeat the purpouse to make a female warrior if she is automatically weaker then the male with the same attributes, armor etc. that would promote sexism among teenagers making it harder for girls in the game, and later on in RL.

So where's the suggestion?

You want to have male Warriors a Speed Boost or something?

If so, tell me, why are girls good at 'magic' and 'stuff'
And why would guys be 'quicker' ?
