I've played Destiny since launch. I've made the odd contact here and there. Sometimes on a rare occasion, I'll even add someone as a friend.
Well a week or so ago, my girlfriend created an account, and unfortunately for her, has what you might call a 'girly' PSN ID.
As a result, she is inundated with random friend requests, and people even start just following her around on patrol.
It's all the time.

I think I now know what it's like to be a girl in an MMO, and it doesn't seem to be too different from being the the last human alive in a zombie apocalypse.
Get a life, please...

To answer several themes occurring:
- if it doesn't happen to you personally, or you happen to be a guy and happen to have had similar experiences; congratulations. Either way, this doesn't invalidate the original post. As you can see from the plethora of confirmatory responses from female gamers, this happens a lot, and whilst it's the exception to happen regularly to guys, it's the rule for it to happen regularly to girls.
- I am not a girl gamer. I am the boyfriend of a girl gamer. Read the post before jumping in with a presumptuous comment.
- I/girls shouldn't complain because there are worse problems in the world?
Irrelevant!
This is a Destiny related problem being posted on the Destiny forum. Whether there are worse problems in the world is irrelevant in the context of this thread. If you judged every problem based on the existence of worse problems, then you'd never resolve anything, purely because the largest problem is the inexorable exploding of the solar system.
Pointing out worse problems is basically a way of saying "I don't really like this post and want to disagree, but can't think of anything sensible to say".

I'm a long time MMO player I have played many of them. My Guilds/clans have always had women/girls in them of all ages and walks of life. Honestly it's nice to be able to do activities with people that are different. I have played games with people from all walks of life and it made the experience more enjoyable. On console I noticed women tend to "hide" more and I understand why I have seen some seriously toxic stuff go down on console. Both PSN and Xbox have this problem.

16 답변This isn't even close to being a MMO. Xbone and PS4 couldn't handle a real MMO. You have been educated. You're welcome.

38 답변Lol. Luckily, my username isn't normally considered girly. People assume I'm a dude for the most part (and I actually shocked two young guys I LFG'd with once when they heard my voice, lol. That was funny.) I have been lucky enough to avoid most of the never-seen-daylight creeps peeping in the Tower, and other places. My brother, however... His female Titan was all the rage at one point. Gross-o no-lifes sticking their face in ungodly places, lol. Unrelenting chases, constant attention, bags and "thumps". He got his first dose of what it's like being a lady, lol. Note to gamer boys.... Bagging a pink-shaded lady Guardian isn't going to get you a girlfriend. Quit acting like it's a magical mating dance, lol. A lot of people like to pretend this never happens because [i]they[/i] don't see it happen. It happens enough, though. I usually take it as a joke, because chances are they're going to fall into my trap anyway. I lure the scrub off the tower's edge and pop a squat over their ghosts.... Only in extreme cases. When I'm playing with my bestie, he'll usually be doing all that dumb stuff to me. That's fine. But the moment some random steps in, he goes to work on them, lol.

3 답변They're just creeps. If I follow you around on patrol it's either because I want to help you or I'm just messing with you.
