Not Thin and Useful

I play fem au ra about 70% of the time, I've had one or two "cute outfit"s or "you're cute"s in drs from 2.0 to now. Now shirtless male roe or male roe in a bunny outfit does things to people.

I don't afk in Limsa anymore because I got like 2-3 creepy whispers like every month.

You know, I've never really hung around in Limsa Lominsa because it always seemed so crowded and Ul'dah has always just been my go-to location. Maybe that's why my female lalafell is relatively creep-free.

This is probably the biggest part of actually getting attention.

I AFK near my FC house and I haven't had any creepy tells, ever. Just people occasionally asking for info. Some glam compliments in DR occasionally.

edit: Nope, no more. Actually, considering that I've been playing this game for ... almost six years now, that I've only really had one genuinely bad experience with pubs says a lot about the game, I think.
I've had more but a lot of that was from HW relic light farms that kicked me for being a PLD and dropping A1 clear times by 20-30 seconds. 'Cause that really sucked.

It's also somewhat balanced out by the fun I had in 6/7 tank runs of that :v:

Same person. Also I've been invited to random LSes that were a clear hookup LS.

E: Seriously, quit calling my catgirl a kitty or cat. CatGIRL. That last bit is important. My character isn't a drat domesticated feline!

I think it's really hosed up that you black out this person's name.

Well, it's certainly gone down since I popped a fantasia.

Been screwing around with being a potato, am debating between holding that long enough to get through the Dwarf area, or going straight to Hrothgar on SHB launch.

If not, it might be back to Roe depending on how sad Hrothgar makes me.

That Lalafell is the only time I've liked the motorcycle mount.

Still never going to change my mind about the stupid Regalia though

I only have excellent ideas
I think I've mentioned this before but I expressly switched to lala because on every other race I tried a lady character with I'd get unwelcome and weird messages. It was worst with au ra for sure. Now I only get tells from people whose irl pets have the same name as me.

The one weird encounter that I can remember was on my elezen dude. Some short girl came up and started emoting amorously at him. And then sometime later she sent a bottle of wine and some flowers in the mail. And then I never heard from her again, thank god.

Meanwhile on my main I'll get the occasional compliment on a nice glam, and on my lala with a stupid name I'll get people telling me how funny it is. I have been pretty fortunate so far!

I play on an RP server but don't really RP, and the worst I get on my female elezen main that I tried to make look like an SNES FF character is a couple of either genuine compliments about her look, or people trying to segue from a genuine-seeming compliment into being skeevy.

That lulled me into a false sense of security. I made a female miqo'te alt and OH GOD.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
I have a healthy request for my fellow tank players. When we get a raid or dungeon in which the other tank is new, or if we have people who are new to the duty, while the mechanics are being explained can you try to not be absolute toxic filthy by engaging the boss without a ready check? And failing that after we wipe the first time, do not spam the ready check over and over again.

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
I've only gotten a couple weird tells as a catgirl and I 100% chalk that up to not afking in any major hubs and always hanging out at my or the fc house.

Since we're sharing screenshots, my own character, who I'm still pretty proud of:



I designed her to look like specifically an SNES-era design, both by trying to look Amano As gently caress and trying to get an appropriate color scheme. She's actually the closest I could get to one of the, like, four possible overworld/party character sprite palettes in FFVI.

I'm still attached to one of the interim designs I ended up with before finding the right clothes, though. Looking like an evil wizard in a fantasy take on the seventies.

Same. The few times anyone has talked about my character has just been about cool/cute glams. And the one time a goon's wife said they liked my magician's assistant outfit.
