Hey everyone -
I wanted to get people's opinions on this as it's something at least I've experienced since playing this game.
Has anyone else realized that people playing specific "races" tend to act like the sterotype of that race in the game?
For instance - I've been wrapping up quests in STV and on a NUMBER of occasions...been saved from death by a friendly tauren. One in particular (can't remember his name right now) even seemed to convince a lvl 46 mage from ganking me one time and proceeded to help me with some large troll mobs as we were both doing that same quest. This isn't the first time this has happened. Personally - I've NEVER been ganked by a person playing a tauren (be it coincidence or not)...as if those people are actually "noble" like their description from WC lore.
now UD on the other hand?
I HATE EM lol.
I have yet to come across an UD player that doesn't gank me, attack me ,and out right go haywire when my priest walks near them. I was in STV yesterday and waved at 2 lvl 32 UD (mage and warlock) cause obviously im 42 and not gonna start a fight...but they teamed up on me and i taught em' a little lesson with fearing them into some mobs
(trolls tend to get angry when you go running thru there base widly). This has lead me to just outright plain hate UD...and yeah i could be accussed of attacking a few lowbie UD guys simply because of my experiences with most of them.
But anyway - anyone else realize this type of behavior? I think it's interesting because if its true - it definitely shows how you can portray the type of person you are inside via a video game and the character you make.
Oh, and on a funny side note....im an aethiest yet i play a priest....go figure
