10/29/2007 - Women in raids
| Women in raids
Epic Dolls recently gave a woman's perspective to the Ten Ton Hammer article on women in raiding. Essentially the original article brought up some extremely
valid points about females in the raiding sphere, and Leala took the time to respond to some of the statements made in the article, explaining them from a
female point of view.
What I love about this is the fact that what we have here is an intelligent dialog. In no way is the Epic Dolls response claiming that Ten Ton "doesn't
understand us" and that they write "biased work because they hate women," both of which are common misconceptions on either side of the gaming gender divide.
Leala first begins by explaining that the article on Ten Ton was well written and interesting, and then proceeds to respond to some issues brought up in the
article.
The first notion she conquers is the idea that simply adding a woman into the raid brings drama, when in actuality it is the male response to the woman that
causes friction. We've heard of cases of groups going out of their world of warcraft gold way to avoid these
reactions, but in the end it is the guild/raid leader's job to create a welcoming environment for all players, male and female. I would have to agree with
Leala here. I don't see how a girl can be blamed for the behavior of the guys around her. Which person is acting childishly? Deal with that person. Removing
one stimulus will quiet them down for a while, until something else gets them riled and they go off. If, on the other hand, a female member of the raid is
causing trouble, deal with her. It only makes sense to punish the offenders, no matter their gender.
A second statement she notes is that point in the article where the author says women are vicious creatures. Profiling of any type is offensive, and you
could just as easily put another protected class in that statement and see exactly how wrong it is. It is just as bad to say that all men are pigs, which is
equally wrong, if slightly more metaphorical. The only wow goldgeneralization you can make with such a
sweeping broad stroke is that all men have Y chromosomes, and all women have X chromosomes, but cheap wow
goldeven then you are pushing it. No entire group of people are vicious. There may be violent and hateful people within a group, but to label the entire
group based on one member, or even a few members, is wrong. As Leala puts it, "People can be vicious creatures. It has nothing to do with male or female,
it's just personality, priorities, and morals."
The last statement Leala discusses about the three types of maplestory mesoswomen gamers I will not comment on,
on the grounds that anything I say will come off as sexist toward men, and honestly, what's the point of fighting fire with fire here? I hate generalization.
For me it only works in philosophical discussions. Okay maybe I will make one little comment. In all my time in the game (and I have been playing since 2005)
I have never encountered the MSM (Man-Seeking-Missile) type of female gamer Ciderhelm speaks of. But to say that that there are no women who play the game in
order to find a guy is again a generalization, so therefore innaccurate.
Any discussion of this type will be heated, and until you world of warcraft gold can toss what we think we
know about the opposite gender out the window and go on what we have experienced personally, any conclusions will be skewed.

Last few days for Headless Horseman farming
About a week and a half ago, the halls of Scarlet Monastery were packed with more players than they've seen in a long time. Corpses of Horde, Alliance and
unwitting Scarlet Crusaders littered the floor when Hallow's End hit the servers and plate-wearers world wide began their obsessive quest to nab the
Horseman's Helm.
Of course, the warriors and paladins aren't alone in their buy wow gold maplestory enthusiasm. Since there are a variety of goodies that can be acquired, it wasn't difficult to find groups to challenge the
Horseman the first few days of the event. As players have collected the items they were hoping to get or simply got bored of the encounter, it's become more
difficult to find a group to take down the cackling loot piρata.
With the real life holiday of Halloween marking the end of its world of warcraftAzerothian counterpart on
Wednesday, time is running out to summon the Horseman. Hopefully more people will be online and willing to get a couple more shots at the helm/pet/ring
they've been salivating over.
Personally, it took me over thirty-five attempts to get the Helm for my warrior, and I have guild mates that are still trying to get the Sinister Squashling.
While the drop rates are certainly random, in my wow goldexperience, these two items are both the most sought
after and the least common. While I'd love to get the pet for one of my characters, the grind for the helm was enough for this year.
Have you achieved your Hallow's End goals? What are you still hoping.
