annoying dofus pervs
Okay this is a rant about how annoying it is to be a girl in this MMORPG...
I play as my female sram usually and enjoy this game a lot from its wide variety of options but I find it annoying when im in the middle of training and some stupid nerd comes up to me and says "hey nice ass" or "wanna cyber" stuff like that...... I think its so annoying how some of them follow me around also even if I reject them -.-' I hope the mods make a rule against sexual harassment soon because its makes me not want 2 play as much.... |

As a female who has been on the internet for eight years now.... It is the same everywhere. Back on the IRC, a/s/l was practically the first thing any guy said to anyone they were talking to. If you actually confessed to being a girl, the /msgs would start instantly. "cyber plz" "TS me" "hey baby gimme a kiss" - all that crap.
Usually, the best thing to do is ignore jackasses like that. Anyone who gets especially fresh or persistant, type /whois charactername, take a screenshot (try to include some of the harassing message - take multiple screenshots if need be), and send them in with a ticket to http://support.dofus.com =Wish= |

I'm sure this is small comfort to you, but...
just remind yourself that the guys that act like this have absolutely no hope for success with a woman in real life. What's really funny is half the time they're probably flirting with another guy playing a female character. What's pathetic is they are turned on by a sprite. However, I am not trying to say that Ankama should ignore sexual harrassment. I agree with you that something needs to be done. They are interfering with your ability to enjoy yourself on the game. Good luck. |

Assumeing you're a f2p member... p2p lands offer much less herassment ; if infact nun-at-all? and the players are much more kinder... I find 75% + jerks and herassment is in the f2p land...

I'm a guy who plays as female characters in most things (there's a non-pervy reason for that), and I get a lot of flirting. It's deeply amusing.
Best option, really, is to level up until you're really powerful, then kill them. Until some sort of selective /ignore function is implemented, the only other option would be to type /invisible or alternatively /away to stop them from PMing you when you move to a different screen. |

I don't know if it's just because you are a sram. Female srams look very sexy, as do female Sadidas. I play as a female Iop, and I am female too. I thought the Iop looked as sexy as I needed her to be - no more and no less.
I suffer a small amount of flirting from the male players, but not much, and certainly nothing outrageous. If I did get offers, there are replies I would give or just ignore them. You can use the same put-downs as you would in real life. Maybe, something you say encourages them in some way, even if you think it is innocent. The best way to discourage them is to log off for a few minutes. Relog and they have usually moved on to annoy someone else. Remember, most are young kids too, acting older than they are - so be careful with what you say - you could end up in a whole heap of trouble you don't need. |

I run into jerks all the time in dofus. the best thing to do is either ignore them or if you're feeling confident on being more of a jerk than them to make them shut up the go for it. And trust me this method works like a charm i know from experience.

Citation Wishdragon : Back on the IRC, a/s/l was practically the first thing any guy said to anyone they were talking to. >=Wish= Hi Wish... a/s/l? errr... I mean, yeah... terrible. Just terrible. I hate it too when all the female players try to crack onto my sweet Osa. But I manage to not let it affect me. It's a distraction, sure, but so is a Solar Eclipse. Girls, some blokes in the game annoy me too. It's life. The best advice is just to ignore them. Hit that black tick thing that makes the words go away. Maztica.

Back on the IRC would be pretty hand if dofus had a /ignore feature like IRC did ;) it's not the same as sexual harressment i suppose, but i sometimes get repeated annoying messages and am forced to use /away, though i don't see why i should be cut off from other friends just because one person is being an ass. |

Heh, I have a female Iop, (heavybladeblackrose) and this eca was in a battle with me and he's like "nice legs." I started messing around with him as a set up, and he's like "i wana bang you in the ass"
"Good. Because being a guy, that's the only place I could take it." He didn't say anything after that... |

Citation CatOcatastrofe : You can remove outfits in that game ? O.o Kinda... You could remove all your armor and, as a mithra, you'd be in a bra and panties.. but it looked much more like a Bikini... The thing is tho, alot of people changed their image files (*.dat) to make it appear certain races were nude when they had certain armor on... So if someone asked me to take my armor off, I assumed they had changed the "nude" mithra files to show my mithra as actually nude (boobs and all)... kinda scary O.o |

Well, you'll just have to get past the rotten apples in Dofus. Yeah, i guess saying "btw i'm a guy" would be very effective.
If i've played a female char (like an enu because she just looks better, or a freinds account) i'm never sexually solicited...Course, i'm in amanka, and most of that is probably in astrub. |

This may be a little off topic, and some may say lighten up but can't dofus implement some kind of filter to prevent disgusting names?
Latest example is a female feca named pussyjuice. I don't usually hang around the zaap at -2,0 but she was there and all the guys were ohhhh I want to lick you and crap like that. I found it rather offensive, but then I thought poor soul must really lack attention in real life. I have played other games were there was name and language filters, is it possible here? just my two cents :) Enchanted |

But saying I'm a 48yo gay male from texas usually works well enough :) Humn... in fact, the red sram gets even more flirtation, it looks so sexy that many folks thinks the red sram equal to s... some bad woman. Altough the black sram looks like a dominatrix, is so funny when a female black sram hits a sacrier and the sacrier replies "thank you". Anyway, altough the game is intended to be played for all kind of people (kids, adolescents and even adults), some dudes just need to be... warned. |

how i was raised was to treat others how you want to be treated...isnt that a commandment? (sorry, im not very bible-literate =P) so just ignore the jerks who act all mean & stupid in the game. chances are...in real life they're lacking something or depressed and in the game...they can be someone different b/c there's kinda no punishment online =/ no jail time at least....anyways....i just run clear of them...you can nvr tell if a person is a guy or girl...

I really hate the perverts in Dofus. It repulses me when they flirt with you and say other discusting things. I play as a Pink Sac sometimes and guys come up to me and say "Hey, nices boobs" or something other gross comment. I really wish there was something on Dofus to prevent this because it makes alot of people feel uncomfortable.
It bothers me alot but I know in real life they're probably those losers who ended up going to the prom with there mother because there a perveted idiotic loser |

This is not an issue that has been around "for the past week or so". It's been around since the conception of the internet, really. This does not make it any less pertinent. There is no reason for females who play this game to get sexually berated, and if becomes the case, simply screenshot + ticket. That's it. There is no reason to even respond to this bullshit, or give the 12-year-old on the other end a reason where he can continue. Simply report them, with evidence, and they will be banned. I know a large number of women who play dofus. Attractive women. And not just that, smart, talented women who, a lot of times, make this game more fun to play with their witty banter and whatnot. I don't want people talking shit to them, no more than I would want someone talking shit to my sister or my mother. Have some F'ing respect people, just because she's female does NOT mean that she totally wants to cyber with you, or that she wants to talk to you about how hottt you think her character is, or any of that bullshit. It just means that she's trying to play a game on the internet. And have a good time doing it. F'ing deal with it. |

Am I the only one who thinks "LOL" should be banished from the Internet? I actually heard someone say it on the bus the other day.
But to get back to the topic: There is no question about the fact that harassing people in any way, male or female, is not tolerable. This happening in an "anonymous" game doesn’t make it more acceptable. The REAL problem is that these things are not consequently reported to the ones who can actually change things: SUPPORT. I bet that 80% of ranters here were too lazy to make a screenshot and send it to the mods. If real consequences follow an annoying action there is a reason not to. If the annoyed one reacts verbally in any manner what so ever, the "perv" has reached his goal. Full stop. |

Citation nickooo : Am I the only one who thinks "LOL" should be banished from the Internet? I actually heard someone say it on the bus the other day. But to get back to the topic: There is no question about the fact that harassing people in any way, male or female, is not tolerable. This happening in an "anonymous" game doesn’t make it more acceptable. The REAL problem is that these things are not consequently reported to the ones who can actually change things: SUPPORT. I bet that 80% of ranters here were too lazy to make a screenshot and send it to the mods. If real consequences follow an annoying action there is a reason not to. If the annoyed one reacts verbally in any manner what so ever, the "perv" has reached his goal. Full stop. It's been around for 10 or 15-esque years now. High improbabal that will happen. Now, if we were too chandge it to "lol-a-pa-looza", for instance, (like an attack name) it would be somwhat altered. I too am un-fond of this "leet" word ? |

Citation Tshy : My tip is don't even say you are girl. This may be problem if you have already femine name, but anyway, don't tell it. It could only have good sides for you. They suppose girls being more noobs, even at high levels. Will show them we can pwn hard, both at rl and in game >:[ I think I wouldn`t feel comfortable about that. Sounds like hiding from them. Of course, I don`t run around screaming "I am a girl! Talk to me!" and stuff.And to be honest, I never had any problems with any of those crazy pervs. I don`t mind a little flirting, but the ppl that are really actracted by some vector graphics...well I don`t know if I should laugh or feel sorry for them. |

I lean more toward the "laugh" side. In truth, these people live sad, lonely, pitiful existences.... and I find that fact hilarious. Additionally, for all you pervs out there, I don't understand why anyone playing a MMORPG would be surprised to find that a female avatar is in fact played by a male. No offense to any females out there that play MMORPG's, but 85% to 95% of the characters are played by males. Thus, it should be a blanket assumption that the person on the other end of the keyboard is in fact a guy. End of story. |

Actually, that depends on the game....those (somewhat exaggerated) percentages are reversed in games like The Sims Online, Second Life, There and the like and are not nearly so high anymore in more traditional games. I know a number of women who play WoW, Ultima & SWG...and I know some of them play male avatars. You just can't make assumptions about age or gender in online games, anymore.......if you ever really could. =P |

I got that "I'll give you 1500 for talking dirty to me" guy. So I said "Okay, f*** off... where's my money?"
For some reason there have been a lot more people wanting to hook up with me =/ some which don't even know that I'm a female sadida. One repeatedly says "hi" (and nothing else) and "I have a crush on you" and "can I be your slave my queen" when I don't even remember meeting him. Another who randomly kissed me on the cheek before signing off. Another who randomly blurted "Will you be my girlfriend" when I'd known him for approximately 5 seconds. o_O... And when that's not happening, people think I'm a boy >_<... |

Seeing the title of this thread made me think I was about to get in trouble for saying dirty things in the /a chat. But hey, it's all in good fun.
I'm a guy. I have two.. no, three female characters, and the other one is a friggin' fairy. So, I've had my fair share of taunting.. unfortunately it's all from my RL friends, but we can save that for another day. Really, though.. I think the best thing to do is to realize that in-game sexual harassment is much better than real-life sexual harassment, and that no tangible danger can come of this unless you cooperate with the pervs. My guess is that the author of this thread probably also has a very feminine-sounding screenname/one that gives away the fact that she is a female in real life. (I'm right, right?) If so, I'd first question your reasons for creating such a name, but you can consider that on your own time. Second.. if someone's being a perv because you're playing a female character, and you respond in a way that lets them know that you are creeped out by their pervertedness, that will confirm to them that you are female in real life. That's the last thing you need. And if your name sounds girly, you could always say, "Dude, this is my wife's account." Alternatively, you can refuse to respond to their taunts. The one thing they want is for you to notice them. Don't give them the pleasure. If you pretend to ignore them, you'll suffer a small amount of frustration but eventually they'll run off to chase another piece of cartoon booty, and you will have saved yourself some grief in the long run. Hope that helps. |

Citation -Rhode- : Really, though.. I think the best thing to do is to realize that in-game sexual harassment is much better than real-life sexual harassment, and that no tangible danger can come of this unless you cooperate with the pervs. While it is less dangerous, it isn't necessarily less hurtful or annoying. Citation My guess is that the author of this thread probably also has a very feminine-sounding screenname/one that gives away the fact that she is a female in real life. (I'm right, right?) If so, I'd first question your reasons for creating such a name, but you can consider that on your own time. If you choose a female character, why wouldn't you choose a name that fits? I pick names that match my character, so my female characters have feminine names, just as my male characters have masculine names. This is like saying that wearing a dress is an invitation to hoots and hollers by men since women are usually the ones to wear dresses. If someone named their character "CheckOutMyBoobs", one could rightly argue that they are asking for attention of a sexual nature. However, if I call my female Cra "HippolytaOfTheAmazons", that's hardly an invitation to flirt (unless it's someone name "Heracles" looking for a little role-play). Citation Second.. if someone's being a perv because you're playing a female character, and you respond in a way that lets them know that you are creeped out by their pervertedness, that will confirm to them that you are female in real life. That's the last thing you need. And if your name sounds girly, you could always say, "Dude, this is my wife's account." Alternatively, you can refuse to respond to their taunts.

If you pretend to ignore them, you'll suffer a small amount of frustration but eventually they'll run off to chase another piece of cartoon booty, and you will have saved yourself some grief in the long run. Hope that helps. While this may not ease any annoyance, it is the best thing to do (apart from taking a screenshot and sending a ticket). You can also turn off black chat and-or go /invisible to further distance yourself from them. |

Citation If you choose a female character, why wouldn't you choose a name that fits? I pick names that match my character, so my female characters have feminine names, just as my male characters have masculine names. What I meant was, make sure you're not complaining about sexual harassment when your handle is something like "hotblondie4U" or something. Sure, you have a right to pick your own SN, but keep in mind the consequences of creating such a name. Your comment made me think of the characters "Boobz" and "LookAtMyTits," both of whom are cool people, both of whom I've made off-color remarks to (in jest), both of whom could very possibly be guys, and both of whom I can't really say I've ever been romantically interested in. Go figure. I will say that Boobz' sprite is pretty damn sexy though. EDIT: And Sacriers are pretty damn hot too. And Cras are pretty cute as well. And when I say these things, it doesn't mean I want to make love to your sprite. Thanks. |

However, I beleave he was speaking generally, off-line or not. He seems too have some personal issues with this sort of herassment, as I'm sure most everyone does. There should be a sort of 'back-lash' to this herassment that people who are picked-on/focused on, should have, as a trump-card, so to speak. I'm certin there is, but I can't comup with it atm ; maybe I'm just wishfull thinking. |

When I play FPS's or Morrowind, I create a female character...I just think looking at a woman's derrier while running around is so much more aesthetically pleasing. And if I take into account that she can kick just as much ass as the male sprite...keeps the enemies on their toes.

It's a bit much to assume that the people who do harassment in question are indeed 'creepy old pedophiles', I think.
I'm 32 years old, and the graphics of the game's female characters don't exactly 'do it for me', so to speak. But looking back over the years, I probably would've found 'em a bit exciting when I was 12 or 14 years old. So I'll bet most of the offenders aren't kooky ol' pederasses, just desperate and experimental kiddy-boys. I could be wrong, though. *shrug* Just guessin'. |

I've had guys trying to "do things" with me about 3-6 times. The one scenario was: Group member: I gotta go, see ya! Group member 2: me too, byez. guy: gues wat Me: What? guy: were alone Me: Yeah, I know. Le'ts fight boars now. guy: but were alone Me: (playing naive) And? guy: o do i hav 2 spel it out 4 u?! Me: YA PLZ. guy: o forget it. Another was when this Cra wouldn't leave me alone. "Oh, ur a girl? Pics? Wann cyber?" |

For one, I'm a guy, and 3/5 of my characters are female. But that's pretty much just because I hate the art of most of the male ones for some reason. Especially the cra...I got nothing against the cra, but for some reason the male cra just looks absolutely ugly to me. And the male sadida...Not the most handsome male of the year award.
But besides that, yeah, the dofus perverts are very annoying, but somehow playing as a female sacrier, no one has said anything weird to me like that, but my ecaflip it's a whole other story...Actually no, it happened to me just about none of the time then too...Meh, I guess most of the perverts have just people other than me first. Oh well, I guess I won't ever know the joy of saying "I'm a guy" to someone who's hitting on me, but on second thought that's actually a good thing. |

I, myself, a male, have a handful of female characters (I'm an active RP-er, and I like to test my RP flexibility in genders), and surprisingly, even though I act convincingly like a female most times (I think), no one has been bugging me. Or maybe it's because I'm still in Incarnam.
Anyways, I thank you guys (all the posters who had something sensible to say) for the tips and advice. It'll be fun once people start bugging my female Eni..they'll run to cover, I'd bet! |

There are times I nver get any, then sometimes I get some everyday. Ya it's annoying for the most part and I'm glad we have the Ignore button now^^ From time o time I get pervy PM s and I have no idea from who. I even had some when I was locked in my house!
Still, I'm often helpng new people around everywhere and sometimes I get comments of how sexy my character is (female sadida). When it's rude I beat them up and leave them dead alone. But when it's nicely said it's flattering I think. Ya I like flattery if its well done^^ I remeber a very long time ago I was buying stuff in the astub cave and the guy came back wth flowers and tell me I was very cute and he asked for my number (friends list). |
