The Female Character Scam

Valen_Byte

Guys aren't the only ones who do this sort of thing.

Tybinstead, my male, High Elf DK has been hit on by woman several times while just standing around rawl.

Don't let them fool you...they hit on us too : )

Personally, I find it pathetic.

Sounds like a conspiracy theory.
But mastophobia is listed in the urban dictionary.
But after reading all the above "successes" of this begging variation I suggest the ability to create "sympathy" :'( characters (limbs missing, I am a noob and need money signs, I'll return you 3 gold from the 1 I borrow today signs, etc.) to create the necessary career opportunities for our toons.
Remember, a toon is only as effective as its message. [img][/img]

I dont have this problem/ benefit on xbox because I ALWAYS put on an armor costume before I have to give one of my female ads new armor. I completely avoid this in the first place.

I rolled a female character during one of the public beta weekends. I think I had receveid a total of four marriage proposals when the servers were shut down...

We can laugh and joke about boobs/bewbs/bewbies/headlights/self heating pillows and so forth. But as adults we should remember that there is a time and place for such.

Like in a video game that is meant for ages 18+ ??? Your prompted for a birth date before logging in to the website....
I am not going to watch my behavior in game because kids might be playing. Don't let your young kids play in an 18+ yr old setting then.

Exactly. Although, I don't think your second point concerning the bar serves as a good example. It's still no excuse to be a predator. I see minors in bars quite often; they simply aren't allowed to purchase or drink alcoholic beverages.

But as for your first point, I totally agree.

There is a time and place for this kind of stuff. That being said, im going to need to see some pictures of these female characters. I will pay with in game currency. I'll pay extra if the picture is taken while using the "play dead" emote.

I've been playing MMO's for ages, I'm sort of used to it. Happens allot less frequently these days though...but then again, I don't really play the "popular" MMO's these days.

I play a mix of both male and female toons, never thought much of it except personal enjoyment of a character concept. I do on occasion get someone following me for a few seconds, rarely do i get a comment. I usually reply "TY" unless they push it, then i mention I'm a dude, and it usually stops there.

The only think I find odd is the sheer # of players who get worked up over the sex of a toon in game. Makes me wonder if people need to get out in real social situations more often...a real person is far more interesting then a graphical representation of one.

Hehehe.A real person can be much more annoying than a graphical representation of one though. XD

Oh. Where I live you cannot enter a bar unless you are 21. Minors get in with fake IDs. A guy in this video game hitting on a girl may not know she is a minor (rightfully so since this game is intended for mature, older audiences) just like a guy at a bar hitting on a girl is under the assumption she isn't a minor. In both instances, the minor doesn't belong in either setting.
That was the correlation I was making.

I like to walk shirtlesss to the tavern showing off my nordic muscles. Ladies, and men of a certain persuasion, give me monies, this show ain't free!

I feel like the only lady that stalkers hot manly avatars, but they don't have to be naked/shirtless.

Sure we do. However, I suspect we do it a little less often than men because so many games still have only male protagonists, so when we have an opportunity to play a character of our own gender, we take it. Luckily, ESO offers 8 character slots.

Yup,we do.I have more male chars than female ones.

Moonshadow66

Never happened to me altough I run 7 female characters. Then again, I never run around naked, except for the short moments when I was about to delete a character and put all items in the bank first. And when I improved my armor, but I prefer to switch with another armor part in the meantime to not stand around naked.
I don't know where the "scam" part is, it's up to the players if they want to give money to other players. Enjoy.

Back when I played WOW, one of the ways to make gold was to /dance on top of a mail box after taking off all armor as a female. Was mostly blood elves... There was also quite a bit of ERP "Erotic Role Play" on certain servers. Problem is, even on a game like this which is 18+ compared to 13+ for WOW, don't know if that sort of thing is allowed as far as ERP on a 18+ game. On one side of the coin, if you are a straight guy, you would rather look at a female characters butt, boob curves, as you ran around behind them doing various quests, leveling, etc...

Way I see it, and there is even a joke acronym about it. MMORPG = Many Men Online Role Playing as Girls

So before you decide to flirt with that "female", odds are that female has some "junk" in their "front trunk"

Games still 18+ right. What's the m rating? Why are minors aging this. Bunch ofof bad parents blaming others for their problems is all I see here. If they want to have minors feel OK and not see or hear adult context, why buy them an adult based game.

You're the azzhat here.

Yes, we do. I only play males because as I play in 3rd person, I prefer looking at a him than a her.

Only because it's m rated in the US doesn't mean its rated as 18+ in other countries.

Related story... sort of... but I have my short MALE Bosmer running around Vulkhel Guard and I suddenly find myself being stalked by another male character, and he keeps sending me suggestive whispers. Thing is, I wasn't even 'nude'. I kept ignoring him and he finally went away... but the whole thing was just creepy. Not the part that it was another male character as I'm glad they have actual gay NPC characters in ESO, but it was the part that he kept following me and sending whispers that was so creepy.

Lots of ppl mention this. But personally I sort of identify with my char so I can't really play female, that would not work. Later when I lvl some alts, sure, but never from the beginning for me.
