You know what bothers me? Humans playing as non-human races. I can't stand it when a human pretends be a race he or she isn't like a human pretending to be an elf. It's almost as bad as when gnomes pose as ogres online.
Here is the real kicker in the ol GEM SACK. When I just beat some poor sap playing a gal toon in pvp. Now he has to go to be wondering if he just got beat by a GAL.
What are your thoughts......
To be honest, the above is what i find the most disturbing part of your post. Not to be picking on you but "so what" if a woman beats a man?
It seems to me that your thinking is a bit archaic (to be nice) and that the idea of woman beating a man is emasculating somehow?
I don't know, it just seems a bit backwards to me. So if your wife made more money than you would that be a problem? Or if you had a female supervisor? If a woman is smarter than you is that a problem?
I do believe that there are differences between men and women (besides the physical) but I don't believe the differences are so wide that one can ignore the fact that women are people with strengths and weaknesses just like men.
Interesting statement you made. I am all for woman's rights. I am all for woman who are CEO's of any company and if I was married and my wife made more money then me I would praise her for her achievements. My comment about a guy playing a gal beating a guy in pvp I think is very funny sometimes because some guys have that backwards thinking it is a macho thing for pvp players to be the best in BG's and the attitude for some is that the best player on any realm are guy toons. I would love to see woman toon regardless if being played by a man or woman be on top for a change as the best pvp player or at least bottom line just have fun with your game. Play your toon to your like. Keep it real.
Fair enough and good response. I apologize if that came off as "odd". And I think you are right, there are guys who would probably freak out if a woman beat them.
Hmmmm, well, that can be taken a lot of ways I suppose lol ; )

So all the people that say they would rather watch a chicks ass run around get sexually arroused by video games? I think that is the weird thing.
If I saw brad pitt naked, it would do absolutely nothing for me. I wouldn't be "turned off", either. However, a naked Rosie O'Donnel migh just " turn me off" for the rest of my life. Does that make me gay?
I'm not confused. I think either you are confused on your sexuality or you are a queerosexual
Wow, queerosexual? Too bad you don't take more time to learn how to spell simple words than make up nonsensical ones.
You are clearly confused, or simply a troll. Given your responses thus far, I can only guess the latter or both.

You see, weird means something is strange/odd. You lack familiarity or understanding of something, AKA puzzlement. Something weird or odd is something puzzling to the individual observing it. The problem is you don't think, weird or otherwise.
Not really an issue with me and sometimes I sometimes also do it for aesthetic reasons. However, I have come across guys playing girl toons and pretending to be real girls also, and that for me it utterly wrong and pathetic.
These are roleplaying games, the point of these games is to play a role. I think most people playing an opposite sex role are probably quite secure within themselves and don't need to just play culturally accepted bad ass Chuck Norris style men.

When I played EQ2 my avatar was a black guy.
<sarcasm on>
I feel pretty bad about it now because I never told anyone that I am actually white. I had guys talk to me for hours about Hip-Hop and Gansta Rap and I just went along with it. They probably thought I was was a real bro from the hood and wanted to roll with me.
To save the MMO community from people like me, we should all have to play the right sex, the right race, the right age, and as Neobushi says above we obviously should all be human.
There should be a clear warning to other players if I'm playing something other than myself - to protect them from my deviant behaviour.
You're right to avoid partying with me, because clearly I'm sick, deluded and a direct danger to you.
<sarcasm off>
The first time I played a girl in an MMO was SWG. I played as a tailor and then found I couldn't wear half the stuff I made. Since the game would not allow me to put on a strapless dress, I re-rolled as a girl. I don't know what is worse, me playing a female character or the fact the game prevented me from playing out my cross-dressing fantasies.
WoW is a good example of guys playing gal toons. Im sure this game play is the norm for most if not all MMO's I myself will play a gal toon just because I would rather enjoy the look of my creation with the pleasantness of a female toon as I lvl her up. etc.... I also prefer to see a gals ass running then some dudes lol. Here is the real kicker in the ol GEM SACK. When I just beat some poor sap playing a gal toon in pvp. Now he has to go to be wondering if he just got beat by a GAL.
What are your thoughts......
my thoughts are you should get a g/f and stop lusting after cartoons.
could we please get correspondent writers and moderators, on the eve forum at mmorpg.com, who are well-versed on eve-online and aren't just passersby pushing buttons? pretty please?
I do not think dudes that play female characters are "gay".
I am not a "homo phobe".
I think people can play whatever they want, they paid for the game/sub to they're entitled to do whatever makes them happy.
Having said all that. Me being a male I typically play male characters. I find when I get into a game more and more it becomes my "online persona" of sorts. I'm not saying I dress up like a night elf and pretend to quest in my backyard or anything like that. It's just that online people relate to me though my character. I don't think I'm as comfortable with this if I were to play a female character.
I'd also like to mention that I used to roll female alts for banking and such. In games like AoC where you can really make your toon look like a porn star I had to type the dreaded "I'm a dude" pretty often. This to me is creepy. I'm a 36 year old former marine and I've chased my share of trim. I know what "hitting on" a woman is and I'm not comfortable having some guy trying to mack on me because he thinks I'm a chick.
well my experiences in WoW told me that alot of people would lick my arse if they thought me a girl, ROFL and im not kiddin, picking a female char and telling people ingame that ur a girl made many jump on their tail and help you all they could. I actually got this idea after i had experienced quite some times how people tended tohave more patience with the females in Raids and stuff, often they could fuk it all up causing wipe and still people was like : well ok, shit happens, no worries there. same situation with a random guy and the results was like : OMFG WHATTA FEWKING NoOb, and people left group...
I know alot of others must have the same experiences cause ive seen this in various mmo's by now.

You don't do much besides play games do you? Queerosexual has been on tv and in movies. I think it is weird that guys like to play girls characters in video games so they "don't have to be gay and look at a guys ass running around". You don't find that odd?
When you're young you play the gender you identify with. When you're older you play the gender that you want keeping you company.
One might say they're both kinda tragic,. or sweet and funny. Either way remember this: They both require a little something called imagination. And when it comes to imagination, I can't really think of many traits that defines a person more.

This whole topic is always made more fun by the 'hardcore' people.... Those who think they're roleplayers because they use lots of midieval lingo.
The most fun is had when 9 feet tall walking, talking cows are complaining about why guys can't play girls. I think especially those people need either a reality check or a one way ticket to the looney bin. I've actually had this happen.... A player with a Tauren character in WoW (a druid even) was telling me that i can't possibly have female characters. I'm still wondering why that idiot didn't realize the irony of that situation.
No two people choose their characters for the same reasons. Not everybody identify themselves with their ingame character. I know i don't. I don't feel like it's me throwing fireballs at demons ..i feel the character i control is throwing fireballs at a demon. That character has nothning to do with me except i am controlling it. If i wanted to immerse myself to the point where i feel this is an extension of me i would become a LARP'er. However that's never going to happen since i find those types of people a complete joke
No two people choose their characters for the same reasons
Oh I'm sure some people play their character for the same reasons and for purposes of generalization, perhaps most people choose their characters for the same reasons.
I don't feel like it's me throwing fireballs at demons ..
I sure hope not cuz if you were chances are you'd be dragged away kicking and screaming by some burly men in white. You're confusing identification with psychosis.
However that's never going to happen since i find those types of people a complete joke
Could you elaborate? What type of people are those people and why do you find them a joke?

No two people choose their characters for the same reason is a 'saying' that basically means that people choose their characters for different reasons. Not everyone does it for the same reasons. Some choose based on movement others choose based on how the character looks when fighting. Others like to look at the curves of female artwork the list is long. But i have a feeling you already know what i meant and was trying to be facetious. Either that or a moron but i will give you the benefit of the doubt. I guess a reply from you will reveal one way or another.
As for identifying that was exactly what i was referring to. Another attempt of being facetious? Again trying hard to give you the benefit of not being a moron.
