thoughts on female players

Xyleena - Heavens Tear · July 2011

I'm a TW-Centric female player ... and none of those generalizations work on me. I may not always have the top LEVEL gear, but I get (try to get and are working on) the best gear correctly statted for my playing purposes and what I am going to be doing.

IE - HA Veno: Ornaments that add Mag Res, Mag Res Shards, Highly Refined for lat of Vit... etc etc
Cleric: P-def, HP, P.def Everywhere! Also alt-gear with channeling/additional Magic attack for when I get to DD things or I am soloing something
Sin: APS, DPS, Rank,rank rank =D

I am guilty of loving Character customization, fashion and mounts though. I also talk about gear, fashion and mounts a lot.... I just want to be the best I can be in all things I do, and that includes this game =D

Regarding the OP's opinions of the female community of this game;

I do take my time leveling and play at a comfortable pace. I do that because I'm not racing anyone and there's no real "win" in this game, yet. Had there been a final goal to this game, I still would want to get there at a rate that suits my personality and of course, my real life effect how much time I can put into playing daily.

My gear is up to date, and if not, I always strive to have the appropriate gear for my level and needs and because I take my time playing this game, I reach that goal.

I'm very picky with my squads, and will not hesitate telling someone if they are in fact doing something wrong; not being a team player, cleric not healing and so on - and even kick them if they continue doing so. I normally squad with people who I play with on a regular basis, because I've come to learn random squad members make me want to bang my head against the keyboard, repeatedly.

I'm very sarcastic, cynical and would often come off as rude to people in game because of it. But at the same time I'm also very rational, and don't like to have my time wasted or waste anyone's time either.

As for fashion, it actually doesn't bother me all that much. I have one set of fashion I've been wearing since I got it, and I have a few other items I rarely use. My boyfriend's female character has a lot more fashion than I ever will.

Do female characters look better in fashion? Yes. But it has nothing to do with the fact that female players play them. It simply has to do with the fact that female fashion in this game is far more interesting and has a lot more to it than male fashion.

I know male players on female avatars that have a few of the most beautiful looking ones I've seen, with great color and fashion coordination. And I know female players with nothing like it, as well.

Your post is a gross exaggeration and generalization of something you may have experienced in small proportions. You described some of the players in this game, and not just the female ones.

Eh, I should be in bed, so Imma answer this in brief.

1) I don't like being behind in gear. I'm not necessarily obsessed with being completely up to date - but I'm of the opinion that once you hit 5x/6x if you aren't being a hyper noob, your gear should be up to standards. I will not wear gear too below my level and I constantly browse the AH for good deals for gear could use and would last me a decent length of time or gear I will need in the future.

2) I'm not picky about parties per se, but I'm not entirely relaxed about them either. I won't tolerate some nab level 4x in an BH49 or something else like that, you know? Nor will I tolerate a party of four venos if none of them know what in the blazes they are doing or suck at working together. (Woe betide those failure party members if I have lead because three strikes and you're out. Less if I'm in a foul mood.) This probably stems from the fact that I've seen enough failures at 9x and above to annoy the **** out of me, and I've just gotten so sour towards nabs who have no idea what they're doing that I just don't tolerate them any more.

Innocent mistakes I let slip easier, but... again, keep making the same mistake and I'll just want to boot you and find somebody who knows what they're doing. Poor squad members or badly set up squads irk me.

3) I'm guilty of being a complete fashion *****. Like, no, really, I am completely in love with fashion. /woeisme

4) Uuuh.... now see that depends. I can be cynical and sarcastic when I want to be, and I have proven to be in the past. Particularly if you're making an offer and it's downright stupid. I have allergies to stupidity and so I tend to react with some snark, it's rather automated at this point. At the same time, I'm not an overly nasty or cruel person and I can generally get along with most. So if you make an offer (rather vague on this so I assume buying/selling kind of offers) and it was reasonable, it's a simple "Yeah no thanks." If it was unreasonable or stupid then, yes, I will laugh at you and you are at risk of snark.

5) I don't care for being level 10x on most of my characters just because it's hip and trendy, but I do care if I don't achieve my goals for them. And, yes, I will admit that I set my goals higher as the bar seems to get raised because I don't want to fall behind. The majority of my friends have outright quit this game (can't say I blame most of them) and so, whenever I do play, I'm not able to just go out and do something fun because I tend to need a squad for that sort of business, and certainly on the established servers there's standards you have to meet to do anything.

I mean I could buy an FC squad but I absolutely refuse to pay for something I can get for free, have done for free and have done for free well. I've not done any BH in a while but I strayed away from them when they seemed to do nothing but irritate me with levels of fail that always seemed to end in me and one or two other competent squad members having to scramble and try and save the situation. I got tired of being consistently violated by monsters that I should never have had to have dealt with. So yeah. I don't play at a super fast pace, but I do dislike falling behind, which just leads to me being demotivated and not doing anything... at all.

and the glitch which doesnt show properly how long IH really works goes on my nerves (it dissappear too early sometimes, although it still acts)

This happens with every kind of stackable skill. As soon as one wears of the icon disappears even thouhg others might still be active...

BM: I dont really hate bms much. Probably cause i never met those who dont hf or anything...

Wiz: The only thing probably is that most can't handle aggro xD

Veno: As most already said: Use your debuffs and please dont fail at luring...

Barb: I like the class, but there are always some noobs like claw barb from lvl 1 or non-tiger barb until lvl 70+ and so on... Your job is to tank!

Archer: Your wep is a bow/slingshot/xbow. I mean you dont even get fists. Who cares that you would be able to get 5 aps with fists... (The main reason why i said this: If you accidentally get aggro cause another aps is sparking - you die even faster than a sin which is kind of sad... - and yeah im not talking about r9 or high refined ppl)

Cleric: If its true what you guys say about the new clerics it owuld be really sad... Luckily i know my clerics normally

Seeker: Ok granted, vortex is a nice aoe especially in fc. But it seems like many seeker just vortex mostly, even at the summoning at the bubble boss... And pvp wise i havent seen one good seeker yet. (Yes im not on a pvp server... still)

Mystic: Cant really say much about this class since i nearly never see one or only in combination with a cleric which knows how to heal. But one thing: Dont aoe seal the mobs in a fc-like pull. Thats even worse than a knockback.

Psychic: I actually dont dislike much about you. Except that most of you guys cant handle aggro and die even faster than archers... And then dont learn anything from it... There are tons of ways how to control the dmg output you know.

Sins: Well as always they are hated. Or lets say most of them are hated cause the players are like little cry babies. And im one of the haters as well xD... Please use the attack rate debuff f.e. Or have some guts and fight without spark unstealth attack stealth wait and repeat just cause you would have lost the battle after 2 more seconds... (And yes i know there are some ways around that. But this still happens since there are cooldowns and so on xD)

Well that was my point of view xD

And as some said: The worst possible player is either smo with no attitude at all, leeroy jenkins without skill or a noob who doesnt listen and learn. And those who dont even look at the squad chat...
