Guys who pose as Female Charaters in MMO's A.k.A MMO Catfish

[ExcuseMyMandarin]

you guys/gals ever seen that MTV show Catfish? Its pretty much a show where they meet some one whos been speaking a some one online for a long time and are in love with them but have never met the person then these 2 guys help them meet to see if they are who they say they are in person which in most times it aint its a different person than in the pics,some guy posing as a girl or girl posting as a guy

anyway to my point

Their are alot of guys who play as female characters so they can try charm free things off of guys like a cyber gold digger lol happens all the time ive caught a catfish or two of my own one tried and tried and tried to sweet talk me (via in game text) and then say hey do you got a few thousand gold you can give me and when i never would get mad at me until one day they said BTW im a guy and you thought i was a girl your sad...... yea im the sad one

Have you ever ran into one of these catfish? and if so what happened
if not whats your view on this? maybe your a catfish who would like to tell us about some huge item some one gave you

Why threath guys and girls different in games? Never understood why people would do that.. If your friend with some one and they need money or items or anything, and you got something spare, why not give or loan them (if you trust them that is)

Never bothered with them. Yea sure, you can chat with players and stuff, but hoping or looking for a relationship or whatever in game is not something I'd recommend. Lol. Search in real life for it.

+1 on that..

In Korean MMOs, the females almost always look 1000 times cooler than the males.

Yeah but with Dragon's Dogma it helped if you were a big beefy male character as a Warrior, you NEEDED all that carry weight, which was like maxed at 156 or so with the tallest/beefiest male and 120-something as a tall beefy female. Then again, size mattered alot more than gender in that game. lol

Yeah, I tried to create a female tank character in Dragon's Dogma, but even with the buffs they gave you, her stamina dropped like a rock whenever I tried to run, even when she wasn't carrying anything. I mean, yeah, they got things right (huge people tend to tire more quickly, in general), but it kinda made the game a bit slower with super-beefy characters.

Is that why guys make female characters? o.o I always wondered why. XD Whenever I asked a guy who made one, they couldn't tell me the reason why. lol One guy told me it was because they would rather see a female character running around instead of a guy.

Pssst, Melina. Hate to break it to you, but most guys aren't that great at communicating.

And then if you make a tiny rogue character, complete with buffs you get into the "Super Light" weight category and use NO stamina while running.

So they can charm free stuff?? Everyone knows guys do this. This is nothing new. Move along, nothing to see here. A lot of guys play female characters because they look better in armor or just look better than the male models in general. WHO CARES, not as many do but females play male characters as well.

I'm a guy and I pretty much only play female toons unless there's a good RP community. Sure, I'm a perv and I like looking at female toons more than male toons. Nothing wrong with playing a female character, but ROLE playing a female character? just wrong. Just find it funny that after all these years people still try to hit on female toons. MMO Rule 37, bro.

This thread is in every forum of every mmo ever. I don't care who plays what, and neither should anyone. As long as they're not bringing the team down I don't care if you're playing an asexual giraffe. I don't play games to meet people for IRL. It'd be like walking around the streets of Thailand looking for a date, you're gonna get a surprise.
