Guild Wars Taught Me About Being a Woman

My most successful "get lost" line is: <insert name here>?? Grandson? Is that you??

Male necros > Female necros. Though the female necros have cooler hair... all the females have cooler hair though, heh.

As for cR4zY-n^, who seemed to insinuate I was 'pretending to be a guy'; I wasn't aware that a computer generated, technically asexual, human shaped avatar that raises beasts from the dead and consumes the lives of others (not to mention the whole mass murder and slayage thing) was a well rounded interpretation of my real life self. I'm allowed tolike the like the guy avatars more than the girls, no? I like that my characters don't always have to like strippers and like I said, it's nice to wonder the world without being bothered by the perverts

*chuckle* Those were probably guys

Doesn't surprise me you were a UT player at all

First, who gives a crap whether your avatar is male or female? I have 3 male characters and 2 Female characters and I don't roleplay so it doesn't matter at all what sex they are. Girls in disguise, guys in disguise, maybe if you tried to do your dating in the real world, you'd care as much about that kind of stuff as I do

Second, girls play male characters because of a lot of what you've read in this thread....if you've actually read anything here. Many people, both girls and guys, don't want to subject themselves to the throngs of rampant horny idiocy that you will find on pretty much any online RPG. I've had a bunch of it directed at me and my characters. Honestly I don't care but I would say ANYONE who doesn't want to deal with being hit on at all should make a male character. It's stupid but it's true.

Last, seems that it doesn't take you saying something against females to have a few people on your neck. All you actually have to do is type without thinking

I think i'm the world biggest hug machine!


As for girl playing as male character and guy playing as girl, i know this is true since i meet several peoples who do that.

If i had a second account, it would probably be all male chars. ^^;

Female necros just arent as cool as male T_T

man that would scare off the incredible hulk i read that and almost threw up my ramen noodles

Good point. I have four male chars (I am a dude, thanks) and 2 female ones (N & Me). I've only been accosted once, and that wasn't really a wammo thing, I had told someone how to get somewhere and they just wouldn't shut up. ^^ Anyway, I fixed that posthaste and so far I've never had more trouble with that kind of thing. Perhaps never wearing any of the more revealing armors helps with that - I think they look...tacky. That is, they don't give the impression that I personally would like for anyone to have, real or not. W/e.

Because female avatars are quite a bit more enjoyable to look at than male avatars, and as such, I make all of my characters female.

I prefer female characters overall. Only professions I prefer the male for is the Necro and Assassin. Female necros just look, well, kinda freaky. Female assassins are just too skinney, they are little twigs.

I know that many of these immature gamers will say "you play as gurl chars so ur gay!" I couldn't disagree more. I personally think it proves that I am much more mature and "manly" to be able to make characters of the opposite gender. I think that these guys who only want to make male characters, seem a little odd that all they can think about is male characters.
So it's good to have at least one character of each gender, gives some extra variety.

I have a whole collection of screenshots of my characters getting other people's characters in compromising positions.

Man I am feeling left out here, I have 7 male and 3 female toons and I never get
lucky and get molested, plz in-game me for mass orgy on a sandy beach.

lol.....

I was wammoed once, but it was my male ranger o.O. I was afk at the abby in pre, I moved and he moved, so I just stepped in to the catacomb zone.

That story was so funny I almost cried. I'm a W/Mo no less, but not a rude wammo thankfully.

Male Wammos molesting female characters? That's NOTHING.

As I posted in the jerks thread long ago, one time I was in Bettleton, and I was kneeling near the east exit and went AFK for a bit (with a male Warrior by the way).

I came back to find a naked male warrior humping my face.

Oh the laughs I had at this one...

Kind of ironic to be saying about pervs when most female characters are in fact played by males (of all ages) - and admit it or not the number 1 reason is for oggling at

He has punctuation and capitalization, that counts for something. Not so sure about coherency. Did he actually make any point? Looked like a bunch of half sentences that meant almost nothing? (I havent been warned once this week yet...)

Anyway, on topic:

I think there are a ton of Wammos because that is what teenage boys play (and mostly poorly, which is why wammos have a bad rep).

I just created a Female Ele (my other characters are male) and have started to run into some of this. So far whispering "go away child, you are talking to an adult" has always succeded in sending them packing.

Yea, not all Wammos are horny 15 yr olds wanting to get some cheap porn.

I see nothing wrong with playing a more visually appealing character. There's a line for both sides, though. I used to find a guildie of mine alone in the guild hall, dancing naked with his female ritualist. It felt.. icky. I can only imagine what living with him must be like.

On the other side, a few minutes in piken square being gangraped was enough for me to drop female characters too.

I'm staring at this avatars back all day, might as well make it something worth staring at.

My female warrior has the Kurzik armor just for that reason. Then my female ele has the Luxon, although I'm not sure what it protects. I prefer the Krytan full leather for my ranger and MM gets the Kurzik, which really doesn't highlight anything. My female rit has both the exotic for healing and luxon for channeling, which both are pretty nice looking, the exotic looks interesting when wet.

Oddly enough my only male, a Monk, I don't care what he wears, probably becasue when I play him I look at the health bars and not him.

I guess when people say you are gay for playing a female charater, and looking at a wariors fat butt all day means...what? Which is why A-net has never added more pixels to the wariros cod peice.
