Ok well i just got Guild Wars Prohecies a few days ago and love it. I decided to try out 4 different proffesions at once in the pre searing and c which one i like the most. I made a guy necromancer a girl ranger a guy warrior and a girl meser.(i cant decide which i like the best they r all so good).

So what i dont understand is that when i play on my girl ranger or girl mesmer it seems like the warriors, and sometimes other classes, come up to me and start humping me. I say err get away or i just run away, i tell them im a guy and they dont seem to care. So my questions is that do many guys have girls characters, or am i just weird? I mean is it wierd for me to have half of characters girls and the other have guys? Is this the type of game where guuys only have guy chars and girls only have girl chras? or is it the type that it does not really matter what u have? the guys can b girls and the girls can b guys.

Sry if i sound like a noob to u guys but well i guess i am

lol. So if ne1 could answer this question it would be nice. Because im really confused aobut this part of the game. Other than this i really love the game so far. Thanks in advance ppl.

p.s. sry if i put this in the wrong section but this is my first post so im not really sure.

They just don't care, because they're screwing around. It's a game, they're not hitting on you dooder.

In-game gender has no bearing on RL gender. Lots of guys (including me) play all female characters. Most guys have at least 1 female character. We are talking about a RPG here.

Pre-searing seems to be a haven for the immature humping crap. Once you finish up there, you'll find that it drops off dramatically. Female ele & ranger dances in particular seem to attract that sort of attention, for some reason.

When some goober does that to my char, I'll move. If they follow, I ask them if they think my adam's apple is sexy. If they're persistent - I rezone, ususally to a completely different town.

Guys will play female characters because they would rather like to see a woman instead of a buff man. Girls will sometimes play as male characters so they can avoid all the harrassment. Go figure.

I play all female characters (except warrior and sometimes monk) because they dont like complete idiots.

Hard though having a girl character you wanna do over so badly looks,gender,face etc, yet only thing holding you back is she capped all skills competed whole chapter 1, has 10 mill EXP, and a ton of skill points :X.

Warrior-male
Monk-female
Necro-male soon to be deleted
PVP-mainly male
Ranger-female
Rit-Male

Go figure :X.

I'm a guy and all my characters are female as well. I would rather look at a female character's back side for hours on end while I play than a dude's.

Yeah nothing wrong with having different sexes in GW's.

I'm male and play a female warrior, male monk and male ranger I just think my warrior is nicer to look at and as a begginer in MORPGS I always find the female char is better received.

I make male characters so there could not be confusion wether I'm a male or female myself.

Well, ask yourself this. If you're going to spend 1000+ hours watching a character, would you prefer some sweet adorable female character, or a male character? :P That's the reason almost all my characters are female. Ranger is, Mesmer is, Ritualist is. Btw, i did start with male ranger when i first got GW. But then after a while i deleted him, and besides decided girl characters are much nicer.

I had male monk, because he had awesome dance and flex, and was kinda into Shaolin. Female monk looked... bad IMO, more like a nurse than nun. Some love it i bet but me uh no :P So definitely had to be male. I never had warrior in pve, but in pvp i make male warriors. Sorry, Xena-like female warriors are a turn of for me

The only thing that is really wrong is when guys make girl chars and dance naked for money...and actually get it. Now what does that say about some of the people who play this game?

Well, when they make the majority of the male models pretty darn ugly (compare male warriors and necros with the female equivalent) and the rest look like they are more concerned with breaking a nail (or bald) then it's no real competition is it ? And I'm sure Anet knew what they were doing when they designed the Kurzick female warrior armour....

I'm male and all my PvE characters are male. It doesn't bother me because I look mostly surroundings, not my character's butt. There is enough women butt at outdoors, porn magazines/videos or other related stuff. I don't need it everywhere.

It is okay if someone want to play with almost half-naked women characters. The bad thing is that everyone who play as female, are forced to wear minor armors. Females aren't worth any attention if at least half of their body isn't visible? Some female FoW armor visuals are focused more to functional side but they are a bit expensive for average player.

One major reason why I prefer male character, is their armors which often is more believable and another reason is to avoid all kind of perverts which assume or ask if I'm female. This is just a game but playing as female feels weird in long term. Short PvP matches are sometimes fun with tiny women and because names change often, you can hide from weird stalkers. A bit paranoid but I have some bad experiences.

Male here, with a bunch of kids and grandkids. Most of my gaming characters are male, but have played plenty of females, critters, robots, and you-name-its. Having done a fair amount of fiction writing, dropping into another role is not a problem. As far as game ethics goes, I don't start or put up with any BS.

Current GW toons: 5 male, 1 female.

Male with all Female chars, for the same reason I'd rather look at a female chars backside when playing and for the fact my Necro now looks like a Biker Babe with leather and fishnets

It's because kids and idiots are allowed to play the game

My first (Monk) character is a male one.
As my second i made a male ele, who even survived to lvl 20 and a 15k armor...but then i recognized he looked soo gay, that i deleted him and from then on, i only made female characters.

I create a character, because i want him to look good....and as a guy, female characters look good to me.

I remember the days when Ultima Online was brand-new and Everquest was still in development.

In Ultima Online you'd see a female once out of every 30 or 40 characters. Since PvP was a big factor in the original Ultima Online, neither guys nor gals wanted to "appear weak" and encourage griefers to attack them.

In fact, I remember trading ICQ numbers with quite a few of the females in Ultima Online, and about 85% of them turned out to be females in real life (much to my surprise).

When Everquest came out, I noticed that more and more females were being played by guys, probably because they were hot (unlike the females in Ultima Online were).

These days, it's very common for guys to play females. It's probably the 3-d graphics and the fact that the females in these games have super-model figures.

If you paid for the game and the options are there, you should be able to play however you want and screw anyone else if they criticize you for it.

well..... never really thought about which character I would pick (m or F). I'm a guy so I just picked guys. I did however make my wife a character that was female and since she gave up playing I took over and play it....
BUT....I also agree somewhat with the "asthetics" of what some people are saying....if you are a guy what would you rather look at...? I for one would much rather look at the girls. So with that in mind I made a female Rt cause I figured if I was going to wear a skirt I should be a girl....lol

I'm a girl in real life, all my characters are girls. I usually get asked at least once a day if i'm a real girl. I think it's funny, what dif does it make?

Male IRL, all but 1 female in game.

It's just that, all the male characters are unappealing to me and I rather have a female char because they look better.

I'm thinking of deleting my male Ranger (first char) but I've put lots of time into it so I'm not sure.

I still remember the first time my first female character was e-molested. It was horrible. ;_;

That aside, I think that many players are just super horn-dog teens messing around with their game. It doesn't bug me so much anymore.
