  1. You still lack reading I see ...

     

    About your last part, agree with that but majority of the woman don't hide what they are. They simply don't have issues with men because they act normal, they act just like every other gamer. They want to have fun and they surround themselves with likeminded people. I play since 1997 and I dont have the need to "hide" my gender because and this is what I meant with attention seeking "I don't say to strangers I'm a girl". You dont see male gamers go "hi I'm a dude".

    When some stranger asks if i'm a girl I dont answer. Not because I want to hide, it's because I don't answer to stranger. Dont care what the question is.

    When I pug people dont need to know my gender.

    When I game people dont need to know my gender.

    When I'am in a guild people dont need to know my gender from day one. (and by the time they know they know whom I am as gamer so they dont go *omg it's a girl, go away*)

     

     

    When some stranger aks if I'm a girl I dont answer. It's a stranger. They dont have to know.

    If by all means you spout to pugs, randoms or whatever you're a girl then in some way you did seek the attention. There is no reason to let anyone know what gender you are. No reason at all. This has nothing to do with "having to hide that you're female". They simply dont need to know.

    Of all the females I've seen over the years that did compain about being harassed are simply the ones that pointed the attention towards them. They went into a pug, "hi im a girl, if I make mistakes sorry". They went joining a pug TS and went "Hi yes I sound like a girl because I am one". The males in the parties did not care if they were woman, they ditched the woman because they pointed out they were woman even before someone made a comment.

     

    How do I "lack reading"?

    I'm specifically talking about women who get harassed who don't yell to the world, "look at me, I'm a girl!!" first thing. You're the one who keeps insisting repeatedly that women only get harassed if they're seeking attention in the first place. We're talking about two totally different groups.

     

    On an entirely different note, thanks for having the link to that large server merge thread in your sig. I'm definitely keeping it in mind for my next alt.

  2. I love the female trooper's voice, mostly because it's hilarious how much of a 1:1 it is for Shepard. The first time I played her, my fiance popped into the room, frantic and confused, asking "WHEN DID YOU GET MASS EFFECT FOR PC?!"

     

    On the topic of troopers, though, I love whoever did Jorgan's voice. He's definitely my favorite companion, when it comes to voice.

  3. I had the name problem, too. I remember I once referred to hubby as his real name (in another game), and nobody caught it....at least, I thought nobody caught it. And it's worse with people you know from other games and in an online capacity as well.....my first instinct is to call them their other game name, and then their real name...luckily, our republic guild is filled with rl friends of our guild's founder, a friend of ours from another game.....so if I burst out with his real name, nobody would care. But hubby would definitely care if I burst out with his real name.

     

    Really? I didn't know that a lot of people had problems with being referred to by their real name. I've always just referred to real-life friends in-game with their real name.

  4. Perhaps you should learn to read. I never said woman whom are harassed are attention whores.

     

    You certainly implied it:

    "Sure there might be some exceptions but I've seen loads of girls qq-ing that they are being harassed but it are the same girls making "smexy" pictures and link them ingame, the same girls going "I'm a girl, so men should treat me as one" and the same girls aiming for attention from men ingame and go mad when they meet a bad apple."

     

    Anyways, my point is that there's a stark difference between yelling, "LAWL, Ima girl so give me stuffz!!" and not hiding the fact that you're female when you're asked. Part of the fun of gaming is NOT having to hide who you are. If you feel like you have to hide some part of yourself to be accepted, then something is wrong in the community.

  5. There's an Imperial quest on Balmorra where the cantina proprietor says the same thing.

    Really? I might have to try the Agent out just for that, then.

    The Trooper gets some nice ones later on, too.

    My favorite so far went along the lines of, "Yeah, it's hard being as impressive as me"

  6. I don't think gambling is your thing.

     

    I game since 1997 and so far have never been treated as if I'm a total different species. The difference is, I don't act like a total different species.

     

    Sure there might be some exceptions but I've seen loads of girls qq-ing that they are being harassed but it are the same girls making "smexy" pictures and link them ingame, the same girls going "I'm a girl, so men should treat me as one" and the same girls aiming for attention from men ingame and go mad when they meet a bad apple.

     

    Not all females are like this but the woman who cry the hardest about being harassed are mostly the ones seeking the attention in the first place.

     

    And maybe you should try not assuming that women who get harassed in gaming are attention whores?

    Because god forbid, a woman respond honestly to a question about gender when they're surrounded by jerkish types?

    Or you know, it's totally the woman's fault for having a high-pitched voice in games with voice-chat.

  7. That is a female hat you can buy with social points in Coruscant. It doesn't fit well with a cloak, but the complete set is awesome.

    Thanks bro, I'm going to look into it now ;D

  8. I was really surprised when I saw the thread. SWTOR is the first gaming community where I haven't had to deal with crap over my sex. Maybe it's because of the lack of voice chat?

     

    As for the healing thing, I love playing as a healer. Finding groups is waaaaaaaaaaaay easier when you play as one.

     

    And as for the "it's 2012, we don't need to talk about this anymore". Short answer, yes we do. I'd bet all my credits that every female in this thread has had to deal with sexual harassment in gaming at some point or another. I'm sick of being treated as if I belong to a different species.
