I feel slimed

[Niami DenMother]

As someone who's been in roleplaying guilds for over half a decade, I've got a pretty strong view of what is/is not roleplay.

Today I was out hunting on my "baby" (just turned 57) druid, minding my own business, when out of the blue I got asked in tells "would you roleplay for 9-10k pp?"

Say what?!?

This slimeball wasn't asking for anything PG mind you. He was asking for cyber, plain and simple ... from a total stranger ... and not even from within the same zone.

I just sat there, staring at the screen in pure amazement at the gall of someone to proposition a stranger like that, and almost just brushed the incident off. On second thought, though, I thought of all the parents with children who play the game, and what that {cough} creature could/would do with them. So, I reported him/her/it. Given the wording of the proposition, I doubt they'll get in much trouble, BUT, I'm hoping that it'll give the CS folks ample warning to keep an eye on this slime.

Ewwwwww

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Sadly, this is not the first time I have seen someone post a story like this. God, some people are just sick...

Well one time

We had a radi in PoN about 6 months ago. We all waited outside in PoT for about 1 hour getting ready. So I begin shouting in /ooc about how I was willing to pimp out some halfling ladies in my guild for PP. That was it. Nothing more, nothing explicit. I got lots of laughs from the raid and so on. So then I start gettign tells. I mean I counted 7 individual ones from this simple statement repeated a few times.

So they ask me "how much", "what would they get for their pp" and so on. I don't really respond and then I get 5 different /tells asking if I would have them do cyber-sex for pp, did I make money off of it, were they RL women etc.

Well I thought it was funny so I said to them all "talk to Ofus he will set you up good but make sure you have at least 1k in pp and the more the better"

Ofus got tells for a week after and I laughed for a month straight

When my daughter used to play she always played a male toon for exactly this reason....

Too many creepy people, makes my skin crawl.

In final fantasy XI I play what must be every 13 year old boy's wet dream...a cat woman (mithra). This is a very popular race for any melee job (and to a certain extent the caster jobs as well) thusly, there are a million mithra running around. Now the sensible person would take that knowledge, coupled with the knowledge that there are many more men players than female players, and condense that to the fact that there are many more RL men playing mithra than RL women. And thusly that should lead to them NOT flirting with every kitty that walks by. However, we go back to the "13 year old boy" thing...and that means I get hit on CONSTANTLY.

I don't tell people I'm a woman, and for some odd reason they turn that into meaning I must be a gay man when I don't respond favorably to their advances. I had a guy actually /shout to the zone to watch out for me because I was a gay man posing as a woman to get gay sex. /boggle

Some real stupid sickos out here *nod*

I've also gotten that kind of tell....offered plat for cyber.

I told the guy if I wanted that sort of thing I'd be in an AOL chat room, not on EQ.

[FrostDragonsinger]

Agree

OK as a male that RPs a Female troll warrior I have gotten some very odd tells and lewd emotes that have me shuddering. I mean come on who hits on a troll with MOM in the name and a beehive haircut. I get Ogres at zone lines emoting me and have had a half dozen Gnomes try getting real friendly in the last 4 years. The worst I was too shocked to react. If I was thinking I would have reported him. I just hit the power button. We really do have some major sickos.

If I were ever propositioned for plat, I'd try and find a way to get the plat first. That way I'd take the plat and not deliver. That would show them. I've been propositioned before, but never for plat. Either willing women are getting scarce (the fact that there were any in the first place alarms me) or y'all have got a reputation :wink: Just kidding DenMom and others

Hopefully Soe CS will scrutineze this (curse you scammers that eat up the CS resources at SOE!). I had never thought of EQ as the type of environment a sexual predator might inhabit, but it's pretty niave of me to think they are somehow limited to chat rooms.

Those that consensually talk this way back and forth with another individual in the game does not garuntee the person on the other end is of legal age to be treated that way no matter what they say.
