The issue I have; and I’ve spoken to my partner many times about this in the past is that a lot of the LGBT community wants to fit in. They want to be accepted and they want to be treated like everyone else. Which is their right and I don’t think there are many in the gaming community that really has an issue with that whatsoever.
At least; I’ve never met anyone that has any issue with my sexual preference though I’ve only mentioned it a few times to a few friends online.
I’ve personally never felt the need to tell people about it I’m not hiding it. I just don’t feel that in a game, I need to tell everyone about it.Regardless of who I’m attracted to, if I’m homosexual or hetrosexual it doesn’t influence my gaming in anyway, it doesn’t influence my ability to play and it doesn’t change how I interact with people.
I don’t understand why a lot in the LGBT community feel they have to parade it around for everyone to see. Wanting to be accepted and wanting to be noticed are entirely different things.
Sure; needing rights and protection is a big thing in the US. Being able to be open about your sexuality is wonderful and I encourage it. But being open about your sexuality and parading it around for everyone to see is a different thing entirely.The whole; Lesbian Living Story.. I don’t think that was anything other than Anet directly trying to be PC. Transgender NPC? PC gone mad.
I’m not against any sexual orientation; I just don’t see the need for anyones sexuallity to be paraded around like it’s a big deal for anyone but the individual, because it’s not.
Transgender NPC standing around in Lions Arch = parading around like it is a big deal.
Ok?
If you read what I wrote; maybe it didn’t come across quite as clear as I meant it to. (But we’ll never know for sure since you’ll just respond that you did read it all.) That I didn’t have an issue with the NPC at all.
My issue was more directed at some members; probably a tiny minority that are outwardly in my opinion screaming “I’m a part of the LGBT community, pay attention to me” which from my personal experience is just so counter productive :s
And what does that have to do with the NPC in Lions Arch? Did you hear her screaming “pay attention to me!!!!” while she was just standing there?

Ok?
Taking away Freedom Of Choice from your customers will never be acceptable or rewarded.
You want the freedom to choose… what, exactly? Whether trans people exist in the game or not?
That’s really weird, dude.
Who made this choice: you? Arena net should make a vote to their players of bringing sensitive ideas to the game.
My point is: any decision a company make must take safety of their customers as 1st priority. Race, gender, religion, beliefs should never exposed unless if the person chose too. Maybe not to force them but this idea is a trap to expose them, deceive them to think it is ok to expose who they are and not realizing that is only putting their life in danger. I believe people are responisble for their actions but not actions deceiving them, trapping them into getting them in trouble. That is all i am saying* .
What if a person firmly believes that only their race is the race that should be shown? Should the game hide or remove all other races? Wouldn’t want to force or trick people into seeing other races now.
Maybe they should hide the Tyrian religions also. That might cause a fundamentalist anguish to see heathen religions around him. Wouldn’t want that would we?
That is why this game has no races or religions or genders; we all just run around as homogenous blobs with no individual thought or personality…. right?
This is a very dangerous move by Arena net that will only hurt their image very severely. So instead of asking your customers for this idea. suggestions and their opinions about this very dangerous design: you do it anyways.
It is the same idea and mindset Arena net using for thief profession stealth. But this time, they cross the line. Forcing their ideas and belief to their customers is not acceptable.
Example:
It is like putting a religious staff in the main entrance of the building for service.
I do not have problem with any belief, religion etc… but i have a problem with a company who believes forcing their beliefs into their customers. Belief is private and personal
Arena net should know better than that: i am very disappointed Arena net!!
Suggestion:
Allow the npc to be selected in players personal and private guild halld.
" Freedom isn’t forcing your beliefs on others "
I’m throwing a party and I have TONS of snacks. Cake is one of the items, along with chips, soda, crackers, cookies, jello, tapas, etc. The cake is there. You don’t have to eat the cake. You don’t even have to look at the cake if you don’t want to. By having cake at my house, I am not “forcing my beliefs” about cake on you. The cake is merely there, because cake exists, and some people like cake.
Yay! Party at Ferretz’ house!
I’m glad there is cake in the world. And I’m glad that Sya is in the game. Even if some people are terrified of the idea, even if some people are angered, even if some people are threatened by her simple existence, I’m still glad she’s in the game.
Me too Aye. Me too :-)
“I have all the right to hold my beliefs that black people are inferior and should not be allowed to be around white people, by having black people in game, you’re forcing your beliefs on me, and that is unacceptable”
random entitled person who has no idea what “enforcing a belief” means at all.
^^^^This ^^^^

Food and Beliefs are 2 different thing. You can not compare food with beliefs. Did you know, people abuse: die for their beliefs? Who abuse: die for eating food: cake?
This is serious problem: please be serious!
You missed the point. The point is that simply having a trans person in a game is not “forcing your beliefs” on trans people, like cake being at my house is not “forcing your beliefs” on cake. Just like in the real world: there are trans people. Them simply existing is not “forcing your beliefs”. You are still free to believe whatever you wish about cake, even if I have it at my house.

Existing is not an agenda. That is all.
Dear Anet,
I really love my engineer. I really hate the hobosack look. Please let us hide our hobosacks.
Please?
I don’t understand how gear enters into any of this, inform me please. I just put on armor I like. What’s all this stacking? I like stacks of cash. But really, other than me randomly googling kitten online can someone lead me to a comprehensive readable list of all this stuff?
Of course. Gear enters into the equation because to get credit for a kill, you need to do a certain amount of damage to it. If a zerg is fighting a monster, and you only get 1 hit in that only does 100 damage, you are not going to get credit for that kill.
So how does being in a party help? When you are grouped, the damage your party does counts as damage you do toward reaching that “kill credit” amount, as long as you hit it at least once.
To get credit for a kill then, you should use power not condition damage (condition damage is terrible for tagging monsters; it takes too long for the conditions to get to the “kill credit” amount, and you compete with other players conditions.)
“Why do people stop playing Guild Wars 2?”
Well I personally have not been playing very much because of the horrible customer service policies. Got my account terminated for “botting, extended unattended play or using macros” and although I got it back after I wrote a ticket, they still refused to tell me what the violation was when I asked. Basically “just trust us, there was a violation, try not to do it again whatever it was! -wink-”
Thanks for the reply! I certainly plan on logging out now while doing homework, but it would still be nice to get confirmation if this is even an offense :S
So a week or two ago my account got banned for “botting, extended unattended play, using macros or similar behavior”. I wrote a ticket and did get my account back. However, when I asked what it was that I got banned for, they refused to tell me saying that information regarding detection methods must remain confidential. So I am trying to find out what my violation was by myself. I am ruling out botting and macros because I do not do either of those.
So here is my question. Sometimes while I do homework I will find a nice place in game to be so that I can read my guild chat. When I am about to be logged out, I will move my character forward so that I do not log out and I can keep reading guild chat between chemistry problems. Is this considered “extended unattended play”? If so, I will be sure to just let my character log out!!
Hello everyone I am a very active, seasoned MMO player looking for a friendly, relaxed, and open minded guild for myself and 1 other! The top priorities are that we join a community that
-is respectful of one another; such as not using racist or homophobic language (including any slurs, or “that’s so gay”),
-is generally helpful and keeps a positive outlook!
-has active players
-a medium sized guild would be great, but willing to help a smaller guild grow too!
-PvE, WvW, we want it all!
If you feel like we might be a good fit, please reply to this posting or contact me through this site!
