The worst I ever got as a new toon was being wolf whistled at moving my bank alt to Silvermoon. Come to think of it, I never really got hit on much at all --Ally or Horde, PvP or PvE server, or even on other MMOs. I seriously doubt you were giving off vibes of asking for it, so that one's a big puzzle.<br />Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-59811912665728348772013-07-17T15:42:01.681-04:002013-07-17T15:42:01.681-04:00I'm surprised that so many people haven't ...I'm surprised that so many people haven't had this experience. Within my first 30 minutes of ever having logged into the game, some stranger /licked me and another asked me if I wanted to cyber. And I've had more experiences like that over the years. I'm not sure why me, I don't purposely wear revealing armor or anything else that could be construed as "asking for it" (which is another matter entirely). Maybe I've just been on the wrong servers?Faeldrayhttp://wolfdragon.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-45960531241202344622013-06-30T14:59:27.513-04:002013-06-30T14:59:27.513-04:00That's....

If he came on to me, I'm sure he's come on to plenty of others. And if he did it only because he felt I was a woman, then that was some bizarre compliment to my RP abilities.<br /><br />I guess that the bluntness of the come on shocked me out of immersion in the game, which was why I switched from in-game thinking to the firm "no" you teach your kids when someone wants to do something inappropriate. Of course, the Horde unwittingly took care of the problem for me. Which isn't something that happens every day.<br />Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-72672299099162123852013-06-26T16:05:50.985-04:002013-06-26T16:05:50.985-04:00The magic word "Granny" is your secret w...The magic word "Granny" is your secret weapon; I'd have to remember that one. ;-)<br />Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-17040558703335295762013-06-26T15:48:13.916-04:002013-06-26T15:48:13.916-04:00I've only had one come on, I think it was back...I've only had one come on, I think it was back in Wrath.

...Reporting would be the way to go in my opinion. <br /><br />Honestly I have never run into that myself and I have a few characters that are females. The worst I ever got was someone whispered me and asked "are you really a female" to which I replied "should it matter" and I left it at that. He said "I guess not". <br /><br />Personally I would have just laughed at him and said, "I'm not into dogs" and left. Then again I guess that is the role player in me that would just roll with it and have some fun in my own way turning him down.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-16050505050413471582013-06-25T17:46:46.587-04:002013-06-25T17:46:46.587-04:00To be honest, I really had to write this to get it...To be honest, I really had to write this to get it out of my system, because it had been bothering me so much.

I have been playing female toons since launch and never had anything disturbing like that happen.... until a few months ago when I picked the game back up. I was questing with my little noobie blood elf, and some male blood elf comes up to me and very bluntly asks if I want to have sex. I responded "lol, no." He then follows me around for a few minutes with some dirty talk (nothing too horrible, and it did make me laugh a bit) before I had to log anyways as the baby woke up from her nap.<br /><br />But you're right. What do you do? I guess I should have reported it, like you said, in case that player does that to a child. Whether or not Blizz actually acts on that report would be on their conscious. For me, it was so hard not to respond back. I am a bit of a sarcastic person, and I kept thinking of really funny things to type back, but I knew that by responding, it would just encourage the behavior, and most likely escalate the situation.<br /><br />It does make you think wtf are these people thinking? The worst part is, you can't rely on that person just being a dumb kid. I have seen some very questionable in-game behavior from people who I KNOW are adults....SayvilleLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926052899037298274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-44557772584887618462013-06-25T11:26:44.993-04:002013-06-25T11:26:44.993-04:00I've replayed that encounter in my head severa...I've replayed that encounter in my head several times, and I still can't quite believe it.
