Guild Wars Taught Me About Being a Woman

The following is a TRUE story. And for our household, this dialog isn't all that unusual...

"Hey Dad! Some Wammo is molesting your character!"

I'd been AFK for a moment, and returned to find my lovely ranger woman surrounded by Wammos. She's been standing quietly at the Xunlai reps in Lion's Arch, minding her own business.

"Get off of her you perverts!" I growled, moving her quickly away from the prowling masses.

They CHASED me. Yup, those iron-clad numbskulls CHASED my poor ranger all over. I finally warped to the Temple of Ages, only to have *another* Wammo start molesting my character!

The daughters found this highly amusing.

I asked my lovely wife, "Do guys just come up an cop a feel in real life?"

All four females in the room nodded.

"Maybe you shouldn't wear that armor," my middle daughter suggested.

"Why not?" I asked. After all, I think Alanora looks quite fetching in her Black 15k Druid's set.

"It's hot in Kryta," I explained. "You try wearing full leather body armor in the jungle."

"Uh-huh," my wife replied knowingly.

"Well, I don't rub my character against some husky monk!" I protested.

"Monks are celibate, Dad," said my oldest daughter. "That's why you can't find any."

And so it goes...

Mhenlo isn't celibate...He macks all the ladies. Listen to his Canthan Dialogue

this is a great story, very funny, made me laugh for a while

l personally would have used the /shoo command

Hmmm... true. Mhenlo does seem popular with the ladies.

The dialogue between Cynn and his "friends" is priceless; I really think Eve should have gotten in on the sarcasm as well.

Those wammos >.>

that's what you get for wearing a bikini >_>"

For some reason, this happens to my female ritualist when I disrobe and dance in The Marketplace. :dunno:

ROFL...LOL...

Ok I get the same respons with my poor Ritualist. She has 15k exotic dyed white and every Whammo out there must do the bump and Grind. It does get anoying after a while. Somtimes id like my Ritualist to actualy wear a Burka to keep perv's away. I guess I'll have to have my wife pic my armor from now on.

You have been wammo'ed.

Thankfully that stopped happening to me since i dont AFK in populated areas much ^^

True story:

Im doing laundry, so i left my necro afk in LA. i told my guildmate that id check in from time to time and dared her to find me (i was in district 5), with the only hint being "I'm AFK in tyria somewhere".

So i do laundry..come back little while and find my guildmate next to my char, she invites me, i join her and congratulate her and promptly go afk again.

I come back later and find myself in our guild hall. Apparently my poor necro was being wammo'ed and she decided to zone me there cause she didnt wanna see it happen ^^;

My warrior doesn't bother the ladies. Except the Xunlai Agent, he'll hump those if he gets in the mood.

I speak for about 3% of wammos when I say that some of us value gentlemanly conduct and not mindlessly gyrating over female characters. But the other 97%..

...what armor?

Dont worry bro, that happens to my female ele in 15k canthan armor...

I usually say I'll shove a meteor down their throat.

So now it seems the term "WHAMMOED" has taken on a whole new meaning.

You have the coolest family ever. But you probably knew that.

(I play GW with my wife, but our 16-month-old son hasn't gotten around to heckling us yet...)

Thanks.

I met my wife at a RuneQuest PnP RPG session some 24 years ago. I was playing an intelligent ninja duck who specialized in Quack-Foo, and my first word to her was "Quack."

Yup, a gamer girl is worth her weight in gold.

Yeah, they're good girls. The oldest is about to leave the nest; fortunately, I think she'll be able to handle real world Wammos...

As for me, I just want a /kickinnuts emote.

thats why my first move after signing on is usualy the switch to the international district. less wammos

happens to my characters all the time too. i usually respond with "congrats on hitting on a 30 year old male."

LoL, that'll usually make them disappear real fast.

Haha.....I smell a new Ashton Kutcher show......
