Hey guys, if this thread continues in discussion of factions, it's going to be locked and archived. It's just faction bashing at this point with no constructive criticism, just pointless opinions to flame at factions they don't agree with. Continue with other topics.

then lets also talk about how 90% of female characters here are lesbian whores. aiming for absolute realism in a server like gtaw is basically impossible. also you're generalizing "why is EVERY SINGLE BLACK CHAR..." like dude cmon

I started playing in December on my own.  The only content that's come my way has been ERP offers, trophy wife, being someone's GF, a sexworker, and retail work (where I've been told over a dozen times to dress 'sexy').  I'm getting pretty used to guys starting up idle chatter and asking for my number after two minutes of talking, or talking to me for ten minutes and  shooting for romance/erp, or even twenty minutes of chatting and they want me to move in with them.

 

The thing is, you'd be really hard pressed to find someone who telegraphs that they want to get involved in SOME kind of criminal element more than my character.  I give NO sexual attention to anyone, but I ALWAYS show interest in crime.  That being said, I get hit on every day (easily over a hundred times) and I've been asked to be a model, a stripper or just a one night stand.  No one has asked if I want to post as a lookout while they do a deal.  Or, to move a package from here to there.  Throw a gun in my lap and be like, "Watch my ass!".  The only thing my character pursues is money and I even kind of go out of my way to show other people that I'm a drug dealer so they get the hint.  I don't even want to do the sexy bartender thing, but aside from offers to be someone's girlfriend, it's the only thing that's come my way.  What am I going to do, RP with myself?

 

I had a guy hand me a note with his number on it, which interrupted a guy who asking for it, who had interrupted a guy asking for it.  That really happened. 

I've had a guy mug me, bash my head into a wall, and threaten me, which I thought was kind of an intense scene.  A week later he gave me everything back and asked me for my number.  No joke.

I've been in line at a cafe with four guys and three of them asked for my number and the fourth laughed about it, but the joke was on him because he already asked a few days earlier.  I'm just trying to RP buying a freaking boba.  What do I have to do?  Should I tell em to form a line and keep it in their pants?

 

If you don't want women to play whores, offer them something else.  If you don't want them switching sides and going full lesbian, tone down the avalanche of constant romantic attention.  Saying, "I'm a lesbian," is like sunlight to a vampire at this point.  I didn't download tinder online.  I downloaded GTA online.  I kinda wanted to be a bad ass criminal.

You have to carry a second phone with a throw-away number as well because they always test the number you give them on the spot. And if you either refuse to give them your number, or give them a fake one, it always results in ultraviolence. I have been killed on more than one occasion for refusing to give some random dude I met 2 minutes ago my phone number. Party on.

Is your character white? I mean I've been playing since December too, only as a Latina character. I mean while I have experienced some of the annoying stuff you mentioned from time to time, I have also been invited to join a cocaine dealing ring, asked to be a lookout during a deal(someone actually did throw a gun on my lap once) and have moved illicit goods from place to place for people. Bit lowkey racist, but I think race might tie into this too only because people ooc think that's a more acceptable race/culture for criminality regardless of gender.

Unpopular opinion, don't create your own lore and shove it into the city. The "turf" a new group claims, wasn't known for this or that before, simply because they weren't there.

Example: Textile was Textile before chinese gangs moved in, now it's Chinatown. Morningwood is still known as Lil' Armenia cause of heavy armenian presence in the past, etc etc. Do your research.

i get what u mean, i rp illegal female chars as well and i can't just walk around without getting hit on either. this still doesn't make me, or you, switch up our whole character to become a lesbian prostitute. i've been trying to get female chars something cool to do but from what i've seen most of these chars we'd call "mallrats" ain't even interested in doing anything but sexual rp. just check /ads and peep the ridiculous amount of escorts offering their services. it isn't anyone's fault these people are interested in only doing ic sex work, if you can't get shit worked out on ur female character then u just suck, there's always a way to become more or less successful on ur char without tooting it up and selling ur pixel pussy. in ur case for example, u say u rp a criminal female char but you constantly face some simping ass male characters, hitting on u and all of that. how about you put those together and line up some of these people and rob them? get a little crew together and lure these people into a trap and rob them. the key to all of this is to see an opportunity when there is one, this is what criminals do irl as well. if they see an opportunity to make money most likely they'll go for it.

Yeah.  To be fair, most factions DO seem to be pretty ethnically centered and that's not really far off from how it is IRL, afaik.  I'll probably take you up on your advice, really.

Yeah, you're right.  I mean, I might be bitching about how much of a casual sex scene there is and how it's coming my way, but it wouldn't be a thing if there wasn't a market for it and there wouldn't be a market for it if it wasn't a two-way street.  Don't get me wrong, there's things that I see common in female RP that grind my gears.  Making the character ALWAYS have to have some kind of sex appeal is one of them.  Like, having your hair done up and full makeup to do casual errands or ALWAYS having to have some kind of revealing outfit on even if you're just getting a late night ice cream.

Just get facebrowser and scroll down.. 90% of it is curvy women with exotic hair taking selfies wearing boob shirts.  Everyone just takling about sex.    When I started it up, I was thinking it would be lots of memes of various groups taking jabs at eachother or something.  I mean, there IS that, but it's like an oasis in the desert of selfies.

 

Robbing those guys IS an awesome idea, though.  It'd be kind of hard because the community isn't THAT big and it would come back to bite me, but that might be good RP, too.

 

but Honestly... I'm not some Ice queen who HATES romance or even ERP, really.  It's just, I've NEVER seen it so front-and-center-stage as it is in this game.  It really took me by surprise how central it is.  Trying to pursue a character arc in it is like walking through a minefield lol. 

 

Also, despite me bitching about my IG job... I really wouldn't do it if I didn't actually enjoy it.  I may have not wanted to be a sexy-dressed bartender, but I'm still having a blast doing it.  Really, I'd rather do that RP here than any of the RP in MMO games.  As much as people kinda complain about the community, sometimes you gotta take a deep breath and step back.  Even the average RP'rs here are better than most RP'rs in other games.
