Howdy, Stranger!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

Im finally realizing why I dont like WoW as much as FFXI!

This may be really super shallow, but my main complaint of WoW is that theres no cute boys to gawk at. Seriously... The Human males all look like theyre 30+, with oogly faces. The Night Elf males have HUGE noses, and also look 30+, and Dwarves and Gnomes, and all the Horde races, are, well, horrible looking. (N guys get Night Elf females to look at, theyre not so bad looking, girls get NOTHING!)

In FFXI, at least I had some cute Humes and blond Elf boys to stare at while I partied with them (in downtime I mean, would have been horrible to be staring at them while setting up a skillchain + magic burst, plus woulda had some really pissed party members :X )

But yeah, wheres all the cute boys in games? Any in EQII? I havent played it yet, but I might if theres cute boys.. Also, seems EQII crafting is more hardcore (which I like).

    Would you happen to have any screenies of them? :X Youre like, male n stuff, so your idea of wat a girl might think is cute n wat a girl REALLY thinks is cute may be wayyyyy off.. So if you, or anyone, has any screenies of chars that they think might be cute, please post :D

    This has to be one of the weirdest threads I've ever posted in.


    A forum winner, is you.

    You see guys saying Night Elves in WoW are hot, or how jiggly their breasts are, etc.. As soon as a girl asks for a game with cute guys (and a good crafting system), it's weird >.>;

    Im being serious.. I dont always go on a game to grind or quest or anything.. Sometimes I just go on to chase cute guys.. When theres no cute guys to chase, I find myself playing less.. :S Hence why Im getting a tad bored of WoW.. All there is to do is questcraftgrind. No cute boys to chase when Im bored of the first 3 >.>;

    Like, in FFXI, I would go to Elf newbie town, n give items to low lvl blond elves.. Cuz theyre just so sexy.. :X

    Those are weird guys too. I don't know but I never felt attracted to pixels ;p

    This is only the third time I've seen what seems to be a female mmorpg-player admitting in puplic she's needs "cute boys to gawk at" in her games.
    It's a very interesting trend if it's true.
  • mandaymanday Member Posts: 291
    Well.. I found a couple screenies of some blond high elves in EQII... Theyre not quite wat Im looking for.. EQII characters look much, much better than WoW characters tho. But since the EQII official site doesnt give any customization on their site for how characters look, I cant really tell >.<

    Actually, she has a valid point. Why are the males in WoW so ugly compared to the females?

    Most games do provide for equal opportunity viewing. ::::04::

    Ty Oakstead. But it seems the gaming industry is much like the adult film industry in this aspect. The guys usually have beer-bellies n are really, really ugly, while the girls are practically off the runway, as to fit the guy's fantasy (low to average guy, hot girl). Its not fair!

    Is it really that harmful to have good looking guys AND girls?

  • ImperatorianImperatorian Member Posts: 1,000

    Yes :(


  • JohnarkJohnark Member Posts: 901

    That is true though.  When I create a mage or a rogue, I don't want some huge muscled warrior looking mage or rogue... I want a wimpy skinny looking character cause they are supose to have bad defense but excel in powerful magic or amazing stealth and dexterity.

    And the Undead need hot chicks.  I think the only "good looking" female characters in the horde are the Trolls. :P

    Aw well, that's one of the only sucky things about WoW... character customization!  At least the gameplay is still the best of it's kind or else I would of quit WoW long ago.

    ___________ ___ __ _ _ _
    Stealth - Ambush - Hemorrhage - Sinister Strike x2 - Cold Blood - Eviscerate - Vanish - Preparation - Cold Blood - Ambush - ... you're dead! :P

  • mandaymanday Member Posts: 291

    Yeah, troll girls have cool hair n nice bodies. Human girls are nice looking also, and Night Elf girls are pretty too...

    But all the guys = eww! Actually, Ive played a few games lately that were the same. The girls, of course, were very attractive, and the guys were old n hairy. I mean, come on -.-; Its disgusting.. You can tell these games were made by older men, who obviously dont care wat the males look like.

    If this trend keeps up, I expect less and less REAL fems playing MMOs. As if we're not rare already. And no, I dont mean the 14 yr old boy playing a fem character shouting "IM A LESBIAN, I LIKE TO MAKE OUT WITH GIRLS!!!"

  • AngryHippieAngryHippie Member Posts: 214

    Not many females making the games, not many females playing the games. There is perhaps a problem here. 

    But if game devs hire more females to make decisions and do character modelling there will be more females enjoying the games. And if they still make the sexy chicks most of the guys will probably continue to play. Guess you'll have to make some noise to be heard, as you are doing now.image

    Lots of community representatives are female.

    Careful now, that's 70% of the mmo players, it's a very powerful group.

    Hell, all guys from asian games look better than those from US or European mmo's.

  • sidebustersidebuster Member UncommonPosts: 1,712

    Maybe you should try City of Heroes - I heard they are putting teenage characters in it soon.
  • ghoul31ghoul31 Member Posts: 1,955

    Wow, you are really giving women in MMORPGS a bad name.

    I guess women don't care about gameplay , they just care about how cute the guys are.

    You judge a game because of what the opposite gender looks like? Why are you playing MMO's?

    Go play Sims online or go shopping or something. You are NOT a true RPer and are showing it.

    RPers care about Game content and not sexual stimulation in regards to characters ingame.

    These are MMO's and even thou I wouldn't mind to see more skin on the females I tend to play and enjoy the game for what it depicts and not for a personnal sexual fantasy to live out online.

    Actually, if someone were truly roleplaying 100%, being attracted to avatars of the opposite sex would make perfect sense; unless they were playing in some abstract game world where babies did not come from mommies and daddies. Besides, this is hardly a serious thread.

    dont be a basher. what about all those lame asses that make girl characters so they can cyber for money or just create girl character to stare at. all she wants is a game that is easy on the eyes aparently.

    that is what she wants, more skin but on guys. she didnt say anything about making out with her monitor pretending it was a guy or anything.

    What's wrong with female players wanting to have something to look at as well?  I always harp on my husband when he makes big ugly characters.  If I'm playing a game with him, I at least want him to play something that is half way decent for me to look at! image

    Guys think giant scary looking monsters are cool. Thats why the game is full of giant scary monsters.

    If you think monsters are icky and you don't like them, then you really shouldn't be playing this game.
