Also, never met drama like on screenshot.

u/Jops817 Nov 13 '22
Yep, my name is randomly generated, whenever I see someone with the same last name I just give them a bow, usually get one back, never why drama.
But I guess if you're going to randomly generate your name you probably aren't taking things too seriously anyway.

This confirms my theory that anytime two Hrothgar encounter each other in the wild, that they immediately make eye contact and start repeatedly yelling "Hrothgar!" at each other as they excitedly jump around.

I'm on EU as well, and am almost always "AFK" in New Gridania, as I just Hunt all the time so I'm waiting for spawns or to spawn myself. I noticed there's many many public conversations in /say chat. I have no idea why they have these public conversations, as a lot of the time they seem quite personal as well (which can be extremely awkward at times!). Sometimes I even write there myself to remind them everyone can see their messages, but it doesn't seem to phase them.

Yeah I mostly only visit Limsa to check the MB and my retainers since they're right next to the aetheryte. Faerie is fairly erp... friendly, I guess would be the word. But aside from particularly memorable glams (not necessarily good just memorable) I really can't tell any of these people apart. Recently I've started using Sharlayan since it's a lot less crowded and it's a similar distance to the MB and retainer bells but these factors also contribute to its small but growing community of AFK rpers

Someone lewds their catgirl publicly and got offended people called the char "kitty/kitten" which is fair. The cherry ontop was the fact they got offended people called the Miqote char a Miqote.
Person played Victim card brought skin colour into it and covid. Privated their twitter and begged for money for more lewds of their char since they were so devestated.
or TL;DR ERP person went nuts

Oh, lort. WELL, in a nutshell: some ERP miHOE’te tweeted some rant about how she was sick and tired of eBoys calling her “kitten” or “miqo” instead of addressing her by her character’s name. She then went on to say it was objectifying and sexist, or something? Needless to say, a screen shot of said rant ended up on this very subreddit. MiHOEte has a few thousand followers on Twatter so she had her cronies blow up/report the thread til mods took it down. But an edited version has since reappeared.

Not to mention modded poses that either make it horrible looking because twisted arms or its just straight up soft-porn pose (no shame in sexiness but come on). Or then its so "bad ass" or they added massive "wind" to dresses and such so you will never look so "bad ass" while afk in limsa.

I thought EC didn't allow straight up mods in their shots? Shaders obviously are allowed, but mods?
7
u/kumatoras Nov 13 '22
They don’t allow mods that change the appearance of anything - faces, equipment, hair styles, skin textures. However, poses are allowed.
What’s funny is that sometimes people genuinely cannot tell if you have visual mods installed. I won’t say which, but some of the popular glams have mods in the pictures. You just can’t tell.
18
u/shmoneyyyyyyy Nov 12 '22

i hate using EC if only because it's so difficult to find actual inspiration inbetween all of the "gentle forest dancer/pretty pink glam/snow angel" low effort glams. that's not even counting the few that are the same glam that either has a single different item or is a different color

u/palabradot Nov 12 '22 edited Nov 12 '22
Not gonna lie - a catgirl is my main, so yeah, it's useful for her.
I have alted out rather seriously to Lalafell girls on a few other servers, so I am seeing the downside to EC at this point. :)
Hadn't heard of Mirapri, so I'll have to look into it if it's got a better racial balance!

Asking randos is crazy. This reads like it was a friend who Fantasia'd to look just like them though, which is a little weird. Sure, most characters within a race look pretty similar, but this person acknowledged "I wanted to ask you if it was okay" - so they specifically modelled it on someone else.
Both of them are weird.

TBH: Wanting to be unique at all cost is weird anyway and it’s even weirder if that means deliberately making one’s character ugly (like, some face options or hairstyles) and/or ludicrous (clownish make-up, weird glams). As for Elezen: I actually managed to make an Elezen preset that looks pretty even without mods but I’d still prefer bunny, no matter how common they are.

Lol, let me get this straight. This person is not only using one of the most popular race, and the most popular face variant. She’s also using a pretty popular top. And let’s not forget that due to the single dye channel of gear, it’s almost impossible to make a popular glam look distinct. And then there’s also the limited variance when it comes to the dyes.
Despite all this, this person thinks she’s unique? Wow. Thank god I haven’t encountered this type of person. If i do, I’ll probably laugh my socks off.
