    Ironically that's exactly what she tried to do and it went terribly wrong.

    Personally if I was in such a situation (I'm not a chick, but there are still times in my life when groups of people have ganged up on me for no good reason) I'd just leave immediately. It's a lose/lose imo. If you do really poorly they jump down your throat, if you do really well then you just helped a bunch of douchenozzles win a RBG. In fact, what would have been epic is if you just started trolling them hardcore. Just fucking up everything and causing them to lose. They'd definitely think twice before giving a chick the business next time.

    But yea, It's just not worth it. Now you know how this scenario plays out and you can better avoid it in the future.

    They had a stereotype and you reinforced it. Next time either quit at the get go or don't fail by choosing to not paying attention. Right or wrong, it is what it is.

    definitely! it really isn't worth it, the mental stress all the hostility puts you under.

    Sometimes stereotypes simply are true. Those three groups of people are much more likely to be aggressive and verbally abusive in online multiplayer games.

    Not condoning the behavior, but it likely stems from the fact PvPers tend to be a very curious group. They treat the game more like an FPS than an MMORPG. And in the FPS community, well in keeping with most of the barrel-bottom internet communities, see females as a lesser species who are only good at cooking.

When both are in peak condition the slate is even. Men have a larger sample size than women when it comes to athletic statistics as well, mostly because women are fed inaccurate rubbish that their biology limits them from competing.
    There are women who try to be as big as men regardless of the shit telling them they can't but literally a women and men when working as hard as they can will never be equal in a physical related way. There is a reason men are only special forces in the military. I'm not being sexist, this is actual biology, in fact some men actually have it much easier than other men when it comes to building bulky muscle because they have a certain chemical that some men have more of than others (forget what the chemical is called).

    I know girls in high school that ran as much, if not even more than guys and still could never keep up with them in cross country. They have to work a lot harder and even then... It's difficult.

    Well, retards can be found anywhere. : / I don't see how the gender matter in a game really. I have played with many females in WoW, many really great but some are completely retarded, as is it for guys. When I did RBG in Cata, it was a woman that led the team, she was fucking awesome, we won most matches with her there.

    I have never joined a pug RBG, but will probably never do, prefer to just run with a guild. Just ignore that bunch of monkeys and hope you get to join some good teams instead. : )

    Soooo. Am I the only hardcore person who says that if you mess up then expect to take heat for it lol?

    Sure they might have made some comments but really that should make you strive to do better.

    I have a feeling, a very strong feeling in fact, that OP left something out, as someone who always hates to hear about this sort of thing in WoW, it rarely, if ever, happens like this. I have a strong feeling something else happened and its being led into this kind of story.

    Honestly, I left nothing out. The only thing I can think of that I left out was that when I first spoke I took so long to answer and they were getting mad, because they said my name wrong and I didn't understand; I mentioned that they said my name wrong to which one of them mimicked "you said my name wrong" in the nastiest tone ever. Nothing of importance at all unless something so small and unrelated can make them all mad. I suppose I was just extremely unlucky to run into this bunch, and they were really serious for only being 1800-2k rated.

    I wish I thought of recording it so I could show everyone how vile it was and hopefully it wouldn't happen to anyone again.

    Of course there is sexism in game, it is played by real people. It is not a good thing, but look around at people's transmogs. If the character is female and 'dressed' like a whore do you think that is a balanced adult playing or someone with his own views on what women are for? And in the EU there are players from nations that have no respect for women, you think they have a balanced view? Accept that some males are pathetic and unsure about themselves, and some are very young and trying to be 'clever' and treat them with the contempt they deserve.

    Ah, except that initially they weren't because I messed up! The comments were because I'm a girl!

    Women want equality, but when they're the subject of friendly joking and goofing around (you know, like men do with each other) they bitch a fit and scream "MUH FEMINISMS!" and "PATRIARCHY!!!"

    You want special rights, not equal rights. You want to be treated "equally," yet protected in ways men aren't. It's not happening. Deal with it.

    Nothing she described was "friendly joking and goofing around". And personally as a man, if anyone ever said similar nonsense to me I'd tell them to go #@%$ themselves.

    This is one of the many reasons (and one of the more important ones) I think voice chat should never be a "must have" feature in an immersive game.

    It's one thing to get used to the behavior of people in /2 or /i. It's another thing entirely to "meet" complete strangers in voice party chat.

    But there wasn't anything friendly about it.

    The sorts of things women have to put up with online, you would generally never say in person to a man unless you were drunk or high, because you would expect him to beat the shit out of you in response.

    You don't exactly have a stellar PvP CSV yourself.

    But seriously, just show them up. They'll either get all butthurt, or at least admit they were dumb.
