Anyone notice that each class has a behavior of its own?

I'm talking about the players of each class in general, Not sure if it's only me but I've noticed this:
Control Wizard players: Always straight to the point, competitive (Especially with eachother), wanting to top DPS charts (Which won't happen anymore in mod4, RIP CW's )
Guardian Fighters: Generally the nicest players, no joke. It's rare that I meet a GF flamer/"Meanie". They're also the best revivers ever, true story.
Trickster Rogues: Arrogant and trash talkers (Especially in PVP). Chatty and nice in PVE since they're underdogs now and need a place in party ye?
Great Weapon Fighters: Similar to Rogues, but a different kind of arrogance, they have that mighty/unstoppable vibe that makes them think they are invincible in all aspects of this game. Which will be toned down in mod4. They're also the most humorous I've noticed.
Hunter Rangers: Quiet, not talkative at all. Most rangers on my friends list are "People of few words"
Devoted Clerics: They act like know-it-all's. While still remaining selfless and somewhat nice.
Of course this might be a generalization on my part, but this is what I've personally noticed after a year of playing. No flame wars please, it's not the intention of this thread, this is just an observation thread and I want to hear other observations. Not sure if this belongs to Moonstone Mask, if so, a mod can move it np.

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.
Yup, allow me to give a few examples.
1) CW's: Was with two CW's in Frozen Heart. We were battling a bunch of mobs. CW #2 was losing to CW#1 in DPS. CW #2 abandons the mobs we were fighting and advances further to gather his own mobs and DPS them. Needless to say, he skyrocketted to the top DPS chart.
2) GF's: Ever notice that most classes won't revive you/continue fighting? (Talking about PVP here). But when a Guardian Fighter is near. 90% of the time he/she will bullcharge/frontline your assaulter and pummel him away, then quickly revive you.
3) TR's: Take the top PVP rogues and they're most likely elitists due to the prowess of perma stealth. If you're on their side (Close friend) they'll be fun to chill with, forget if you're against them. Strict PVE rogues on the other hand (If they even exist anymore) tend to be nicer I've noticed. And can hold a conversation for very long.
4) GWF's: Always ask for 1v1's when a team gives up in PVP, because they know they will win 95% of the time. Also, the funniest guy in your friend's list is most likely a GWF. I could be wrong though
5) HR's: Like I said, not talkative. "Hi" "hey" "What's up?" "nm" "Wanna PVP?" "sure". Then I'd invite this HR to PVP and he wouldn't say a single word the entire session
6) DC's: Most clerics are well-spoken and use decent grammar, they have a hipster-ish tone (unintentionally). But most DC's will gladly help for a dungeon if you ask, most of the time.
strangely.. very.. accurate from my observations as well.
Hehe

Very accurate
They are arrogant and trash talkers in PvP because CWs and GWFs harrass them in PvE and never take for top dungeons unless they are friends or guildies. I admit, I am one of those, especially when I back from my job and somebody annoys me to hell xD
Agreed though.
WTB Class Reroll please
As for TR, I think I fall under the non-elite, non-perm stealth rogue and died a lots in PvP.

I must be an exception to this, as I don't consider my GWF to be invincible at all.
I got my *** handed to me yesterday by the Rhyme Wolf Boss and company,
so went back in and got done in again.
Gave up after the 4th try, nearly had him but the adds lol, oh the adds.
This is just one example of things I just get wiped on,
I get killed more often than alive at times, but its all good fun.
.
These are just your preconceived ideas of what a certain class acts like, but you forget that behind those characters are real people.
I will not lie - when I see a DC, I expect him/her to be nice, but you know what? They sometimes aren't.
kirkcaldy, add me in game and I will help you finish the Rhyme Hound or any other quest you need. My handle is @Khimmmeh

Contrast to today's horoscope though, I don't trash talk. I like to diffuse such situations than create them. I'm comical when in a good mood, and very hard to <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> off. But if somebody manage to get me started, I don't become the nicest person.

In my defense, I like PvE content
Seems to be quite accurate.
That being said, in my gameplay experience(played since open beta), I've come across all sorts of attitudes across all classes. I've seen know it all GFs, who don't try to help others out. Despite the game being over a year old now, I STILL find GFs that refuse to mark at all. Not disagreeing, just saying the "behaviors " are general.
CW's do so much damage they become demi gods in pve, most of them can do this and survive it also...Probably why they are being toned down~
GFs really cannot assist as much as other classes can, we have very poor mobility, no ranged abilities, nothing that can be used beyond our own 20yard radius, add to that once in combat we sand and wait forever to mount up while everyone runs away, sprints etc. So yea if a GF sees someone that could help him out and keep him alive he raises him! Other classes running into a melee to raise you like CW would just be suicide...
TR's are definitely arrogant, almost all of them act as if they are scorned and tell you how hard it is to throw blades at you until you're 50% health while invisible...
Most arrogant, self indulging, elitist pieces of ___________ I've seen since the Inception of Death Knights in WOTLK running around as Overlords!, I've not spoken to a GWF I like, every one of them act like they're amazingly skilled!
This seems true, as they are pretty quiet almost at one with Nature like Druids...
DC's are more helpful, pretty much in the same class as GF

Hehe, its a bit impossible to pretend to be a God,
when your main GWF only has Blues and a Green companion.
I don't Party or PVP, only PVE on my own
and I only play for fun, not to try to impress anyone.
.
That is the most indiscriminate, inappropriate, uncalled for comment I've read from a GF. Here I thought GF were the most well-mannered bunch whom we should all make an example of. Turns out that's a generalization also. Let's just say "America please explode off the side of the planet because one of your many billion citizens might be a serial killer."

If you run away from a gwf they will almost always call you a coward. And i second that 1v1 requesting lol.
and also the featured satirical comedic adventure "A Call for Heroes".
They all seem pretty accurate, but of course there are exceptions and of course people wouldn't want to admit to any of the unappealing attributes :P.
So people playing multiple classes, are basically admitting to a bipolar disorder per your condemnation.
I dont think so.
What I claim, is you start seeing peoples natural inclination of personality when hidden via the world of the internet. You see arrogant jerks , mouth spewing hatred, which they wouldn't do in front of people, let them hide and you see the result.
I did see one of the weirdest players recently, every match I saw him in, he would say "any ladies here, hello any ladies, he would say that like ten times, then the rest of the match would call out someone like " Why you do that, why not talk to me, why do you ignore me... " Just weird.. LOL.
But most ppl pick a class that matches there personality.
I play everything. I play TRs the most.
I basically act like myself. I mostly try to be helpful, but sometimes I get exasperated and impatient.

From the proscribed list, I fall into DC the most, even though I haven't mained a DC in over half a year.
I want a green bar staring healer, but then again they have no content that needs one, so it really doesnt matter.
I mean death defying, time calculating , running for your life situations, where one wrong move from the healing class will destroy the run.. and a true symbiosis between tank and healer.
But while they dont have that, Ill have fun with the classes still and wait for a MMO I can get my mind around and have fun with this one still.
I feel like the playstyle of the character/class indirectly influences how I portray myself, at least when I'm playing, not so much when I'm just chatting in zone etc.
that said, I don't like s-talk. Prove yourself through your actions or keep quiet.
i admit I get and can be very rude and obnoxious,, especially when we are losing to a super premade and they wont honor ant duels!

I'm one. :waves hands about:
I think sadly these stereotypes come about because some people figure if you are playing that class somehow you "have to act that way to play the class"?
Not all rogues are thieves, but all thieves can be rogues. It's like not all fingers are thumbs, but thumbs can be fingers.
Some people I figure are going to make up their minds on what they think of me by how they treat me initially, and then their opinion forms after my reaction to that. It happens.
:big shrug:
