OMG A GIRL!!! ATTACK!!!!(chick only discussion)

[Bunny]

I get jealous of girls on MMO's. All they have to do is flaunt to the hardcore players, and they'll give her whatever she wants.

Next MMO I am pretending to be a chick. :\

There was one girl in particular who wanted her application to go through for one of the top guilds in WoW. The GM said if she sent nude photos to him, she'd get in. She did send them, he didn't let her join. Instead he put them on the internet. Girls are so dumb.

Or she was hopelessly addicted and didn't have any sort of social life outside of the game

I had a friend who was playing a female character in an MMO, an even though he didn't make any effort to make people think he was female there still were a bunch of losers who nonetheless seemed to develop a crush on him.

This is very common. I only played FFXI for like two months and had all of this neat stuff because male characters would just give things to me out of nowhere

I never understood why guys do that. What do they think they're going to get out of it?

It's easy, their basic instincs have problems differensiating between real life females and ingame females.

The only person who ever gave me stuff I wanted cause I'm a girl and they looove me was Del Murder and Misfit.

No one else gave a crap. I'm sure there are people who throw themselves at females in games, but that's never really been my experience and I played FFXI for like 3 years. *shrug* Sure people give each other stuff, but that was always more of a "lets me nice to newbies thing". I gave female and male characters random stuff all the time. It's called being helpful and nice. No one ever gave me items or help and then turned around to be all, "Lets be in-game boyfriend/girlfriend!"

Yeah in all my time playing MMOs, as both male and female characters, and what I've observed among others, I've never really seen this supposed phenomena about girls getting free stuff.

Bahaha, that's just great. Was she hot?

On TPS the game I help develop (when I have time at least, or rather I did help develop before I had not enough time for it at all) I used to play this psychotic lesbian dark elf who was pretty damn racist and sexist she hated men and basically wanted to rape half the female characters in the game and wasn't very discrete with her opinions. Before many players knew I was male I had quite a large following of guys who were totally and utterly in love with the persona of the character Lasuria-Bladebreak. All my posts on the game forums and everything were 100% in character even when she commented on events that were originally ooc by others I'd incorporate it in to the story as rumours and messages she'd heard in the game world through the extensive network of spies she kept. One guy in particular used to have this huge crush on me from the interactions he had in game it wasn't until he saw me on IRC once he found out the truth that I was male and had been dying laughing at his hitting on me with the handful of other players who knew my true identity. Best thing about this? My character was violently nasty to him, he must just like being abused by people.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Haha, that's amazing. Do you have anything you can actually show us?

[Jessweeee♪]

Oh my god xDDDD

[Drift]

I don't usually throw abuse at other females in game, unless they started it. For example I joined a lobby for MW2 which had a full team of girls and they instantly started abuse while the game loaded, after the match (where they won by a couple of points) they started shouting how we should be ashamed that girls beat us and that we should stop the abuse, at which point all i said was "gg" and joined a different lobby. moral of the story? male or female there's always gonna be abuse at either gender, now i just direct it all at little kids screaming down the mic xD

If you don't like getting hit on, play offline or get a sex change.

[Lightening]

I don't play online much, but I've been in a chatroom so I know what you're talking about.

I hear this sometimes. I wonder why it is some people never run into any of it while others run into tons of it. I just know my wife does run into this as well as male friends who play male characters. I've run into it on WoW mules who literally have the word "bank" in their name which makes it obvious they might just be pretty belf with penises. Odd.

Of course, I've played years of MMOs so I had a wider sample size.
