For the flirting thing, being in relationship definitely changes your bounderies. If I were committed, I’d be offended by behavior that I judge disrespectful to my partner. Thankfully, it’s not something I have to worry about these days

I like to describe myself as a girly person who enjoys action more than romance and RPG style games :p I wouldn’t say I’m one or the other.. in fact, how can anybody say they’re definitely girly or definitely a tomboy? /confused.

It’s very difficult to be a woman playing WoW, though the boundaries you mentioned do make it a lot easier. I can’t help though running around with non-combat pets and mentioning pretty things..

You don’t see many women pvp seriously and I find that a shame.

Apparently, he joined my 2s team just to get a couple of points shortly after I transferred to that server to hang with friends and I joined their guild and I was just another fellow guildie to hang out with. We had chatted in vent, still didn’t really know each other that well, but he figured some games couldn’t hurt. He figured we’d get to 1200 rating (back when you started at 1500)

I was shocked. His response was how I fit the typical female player, playing a female bloodelf healer. He didn’t know how good/bad I was in raids as I hadn’t done many with guild yet (at the time), so he couldn’t judge it on that either.

Btw – I carried him to 2100 arena rating that season pretty easily. Now I’m working on arena-ing with his DK that has BoA gear :/

Actually, most of the time, it’s women themselves who tend to say “I’m not like a typical woman, I’m a good player”. I hate that because the two have nothing to do with each other.

Anyway, back to the topic ! ^^ I can’t stand people (who, most of the time, are teenage boys) behave wrong towards women. It’s not a Knight in Shiny armor behavior, it’s just that most of the time, arguments like “girls can’t play” are petty and cheap. I can’t stand people who behave that way against mens too, but it seems to be a one-way behavior. A player with low stuff/DPS/e-peen will be mocked because of this. should this played be know as a girl she’ll often be mocked because of her gender, and while both are low, mocking someone one who he/she is sounds really loathsome to me.

I’m fortunate enough to play on a low-population european server, and this kind of jerks are quickly spotted, and either black listed or “educated” :p. So, all in all, things seem to be better than they were, hopefully. But I’m curious to read comments of people from bigger server, or different region.

My current guildies are a lot younger and more aggressive so the language and jokes are a bit…different…but there have been no issues where I was treated badly because I’m female.

Actually, some of them have gotten creative in their teasing of me. Now I get hit with the merciless mockery stick like everyone else without having my feelings hurt. It’s those little things that make them so awesome.

Oh come on, it had to be said.

My guild is full of girls. And almost all of them are married or in a serious relationship. We just don’t tolerate behaving badly toward women. That doesn’t mean we don’t joke around, but we just tend to be nice to one another. Oh we tease the heck out of people, all in good fun. In fact, all of the guilds I’ve been in since I started raiding at 70 have had women in them. You just set the ground rule early and it’s good. We are family guild so we don’t allow a ton of bad language. Doesn’t mean the F-bomb doesn’t drop once in a while, usually when one of us forgets we have the PtT button on.
