Yes, that's what all the fuss is about, someone was "jumping and dancing at a dance party".
This reply is proving that either people don't read anymore, or are intentionally playing ignorant.
Once again, someone was in some else's face at a dance party, wouldn't allow said person any space to enjoy herself, an followed her when she moved to avoid him. Harassment. At a minimum, that person is disrupting the enjoyment of the game by a large group of people. In real life there'd be a beat down, but this is a game. We call attention to the issue. You want to play word games or pretend not to understand the real issue? Fine.
Please explain how a person jumping and following you is ruining the game, I'd really like to understand this. Seriously.
Because throwing a party oh so means they want single player. But there is a point of acceptable behavior.
Unfortunately the misogynists and trolls could care less about that. And unfortunately they know they can get away with it also. Not because it is acceptable, but because This game has no real moderation.
If there was real moderation they'd hopefully take care of your flaming here. I get that you're upset, though I don't quite understand why, but just throwing out any bad word you can think of to belittle the other person is pretty immature. Please explain how a person dancing and jumping is a misogynist?
But you know what? I guess it doesn't matter now does it? By being allowed to visit their studios Cryptic has pretty much signed off on you and your fleet haven't they? They've said in deed what most of us have suspected for years. They're not going to stop you. They're not going to correct you. You won. After long last, you really, really won. STO is yours and no one is going to do a thing about it. Congratulations.

Based on the picture, the person in question had created a toon whose size could easily encompass most others, then appeared at an announced party and proceeded to occupy the same space as one or more other dancers, leaving them bereft of any visual feedback as to how they were doing.
I can't speak for you, of course, but when I participate in, well, pretty much any event in here, I figure the point is to watch MY toon performing actions, not the toon of someone else who wants to hide me in their ample bosom. If I want to be hidden in an ample bosom, I'll go get my wife.
Risa is a social event that draws many gamers and since most women like it more than the normal grind it increases their interest in STO. The more they play the more their friends will play with them. :P
That is so true; there are more female players who participate in the social events, like Risa, than typically play the game under usual circumstances.
Most... women?
Surely you mean the many men online role playing girls.
Cos you can usually tell if it's a man hiding behind a female avatar, reducing my gender to nothing but shallow eye candy, usually with the nerve tonic dance, wearing barely anything with a maxed out boob slider and spamming the Risa zone chat with erp with other so-called 'women'.
I for one just come to Risa to quickly gather favours, then go back to shooting things with my friends, who don't treat me any differently for being a girl irl. Or I'm hosting random giveaways which are frequently trolled by one particular obsessed weirdo because of my fleet tag. Etc.
Oh boy, thx for that reply which had me actually look up the OPs pics. ROFL
Its him! <taken name out to stay in rules and replaced with Crusty> the Clown.
Think a few years ago he was sometimes attempting to sabotage IGE pug runs or so but was forced to give up on it because even the most incompetent pugs actually got well better than him in PvE.
Fun to see that he found something new to be good at, even such an embarrassment.
Also interesting to see him not taking credit around here as he used to. Reason is probably that he simply cant lol just like IGA.

I agree, 100%. This defines what is wrong very well.
I also agree if I want to be hidden in an ample bosom, I'll go get your wife.:eek: Oh wait... I mean... I'll go get MY wife. Mine. Not yours...

There is small cap limit of 20 approx on a ship! Usually there are approx 50 at these events, so no - holding events on a ship is not the answer, as not all the players who wish to come can get invited. Also, you seem to be forgetting, there is no dance event for rewards on a ship, its on Risa So this type of trolling is stopping players from enjoying the game, taking part in what the devs have created, which is not good for the game or for Cryptic or Perfect World.
And yes, we certainly can see who supports trolling around here.
There is a distinction between being NEAR someone and being literally AROUND someone, deliberately encompassing them within your own supposed magnificence so that they can't even see themselves, and following them from instance to instance to demonstrate that this action is quite purposeful. Just as there is a distinction between keeping an eye on someone and hiding in the bushes outside their house watching them through the windows. One is fine, the other is... creepy.
Yes, because he didn't need to be so close (and the OP didn't WANT him that close) that it should occur in the first place.
Okay... let's put this into context. I FULLY realise that R/L situations rarely translate well into MMO games. Nonetheless, some people do take their in-game immersion very seriously, such is their choice.
So, if you were a club, dancing, and some huge guy walked up to you and, without saying a word, thrust his chest into your face and started dancing pretty much right on top of you, often bumping you with his dance moves you'd be okay with that?
There is this thing called 'personal space'. Some players feel that they're just as entitled to their personal space in-game as they are IRL.
Thus, the offending party DELIBERATELY invaded the OP's personal space, an act that she was uncomfortable with . She took measures to remedy the situation (moving away, changing instance). He followed her. The OP has every right to feel offened by this.
And frankly, I've danced with others on Risa. My experience has, fortunately, been that if someone wanted to dance with my character, they ASKED. As oposed to shoving themselves in my proverbial face whether I liked it or not. Which is what happened to the OP.
Okay, how the HELL did you get THAT from what I posted?!
When did 'personal space' = sexual assualt.
Sorry, I don't usually resort to insults - but that was a really idiotic comment.
if you read what I posted above, then you'd understand that I am comparing the idiocy of the people COMPLAINING about this to the idiocy of the people complaining that disco balls was like sexual assault awhile back.
my point? "IT'S AN INVASION OF MY PERSONAL SPOT!!" when honestly, it's an mmo, it's online, and the guy isn't in your personal spot... at all...
This just in! Cryptic announces grief counselors will be hired to deal with all incidents that happened to your toon.
Has your toon been subjected to a disco ball? Sexual assault counselors on door one!
Has your toon been subjected to a snowball? Personal injury lawyers on door two!
Has your toon been subjected to a troll jumping up and down by it? Grief counselors on door three!
/rolleyes
my point is... there are people who has actually suffered from being assaulted, from having their personal space invaded... in real life. The behaviour of some people here and what they're complaining about is an insult to those real people.

Seems to work just fine, perhaps it's time for him to take a little break from game as well.

Those sig images of yours are enough to get you a ban, methinks.
No I think it deserves more attention and therefore ask any community manager around nicely to look into the matter so that it can be cleared up.

haha! well you obviously have not had an oversized toon on top of you, or following you everytime you move and I hope you never do:rolleyes:

So it's his fault the game doesn't seem to have much for character collision?
why is this thread not yet locked... Askray?
I thought it was snowballs, could be both with this crowd though.
and we have our sexual assault comparison.
