I played WoW till like 8 months ago or so. Top end guild before I quit. Anyways my point being, yes. Lots of girls try to get their way and pull strings because they're complete loot ****s. I actually got a reputation during TBC for being one of these girls, completely undeserving I might add. I pissed someone off so they started spewing vile rumors, that just so happened to spread like wild fire. It's a double edge sword, you're either a loot **** - or everyone assumes you are, may as well be one. In my case I just switched servers, learned my lesson and didn't let people know my gender until after I knew them. Not that I minded getting loads of help when I needed it but it wasn't worth all the attention that comes with it - especially if there's ALWAYS a few immature people that will make up things to get popular. It was like high school - if you look a certain way then there's always an ******* that will find a way to tell people they slept with you.
I only really had problems in the "family" and casual guilds. Whenever I played in a top guild, people didn't care about your gender, they just wanted to get things done and get them done fast and right. Last I checked the highest guilds usually had a policy of no girls to prevent the things you mentioned and honestly I can't blame them too much.
See! i wasn't joking about e-vag politics it exists! And when I played I saw all ends of the spectrum from being trifled with it (i was outclassing a leader, cuz i was just too awesome, and his rl wife got mad and initiated evaging with as many members as she could, [she'd cyber them during the daytime when he worked and she could play since she was your usual, wife, no job 19hr mmo girl] and proceeded on a campaign to oust me, which i will admit worked after 6months at first i really couldn't understand why this was happening when we were succeeding with me being so awesome, turns out she was virtually succeeding... elsewhere, in the end tho i went to a struggling guild and we ending up being top guild), to managing it, as i said b4, it was actually evag politics 202, i was using with that puppet government! that took years of planning and getting as many spies within my guild as possible checking up on the evaging(cuz evaging will always happen, you just have to police it, is what i figured out worked in the end). I woulda loved that no girl rule, but sometimes that's difficult too, one of the main reasons why my guild became top guild was cuz of me being the MT and my fiancee being my healer. Oh sure 99% of the time when a "couple" or husband/wife combo plays, there is always! a slacker... i think it's fair to say 99% of the time it's the wife that is the slacker, either in skill or something, and she'll be "strung" along just cuz the husband is that awesome, and they can sorta use her. But no! she's been gaming for over 25 years, and i'm not talking about the fake chicks that play GH, and think they're gamers, nope she's done every FF (except 12, she said it was too ugly and she had too much work, hey that's life, but man made me waste 50bucks) twice.
Then guess what, these wives then become THE WORST evags ever, they are the most ruthless and vile evags, especially the wives that don't have a job, cuz they play all day, they are basically in this world, and once they "stake their claim" on their pray, that's it, those guys become their property. And quite honestly the husband either
1. knows and doesn't care cuz then he won't have to deal with all the emo stuff! let some noob, horny boy work her up for 10hrs in the day, he can have fun time for realz at nite (i know this sounded graphic but from lotsa stories this is as real as it gets)
2. too scared to do anything, these are the wussie husbands, who go ... "hey why are you flying out to toronto for 4 days? who lives there" and she'll go oh nobody(someone in guild and i saw his hot FB pic!!!).
I wonder if you got your "rep" from the other evags spreading it (man this sounds bad like crabs) or from gossip boys really.
