Your Thoughts on Having Both Gender Pirates?!

[djr_8fan]

Wow what a thread!

I understand why this question was asked. I personally have several pirates (two account, unlimited and basic). On my unlimited I have Kate Goldwalker (mastered), Kate Seawalker, Just Jack and Katieskye Walker. Just Jack is my son's pirate. On my basic account I have Kate Goldwalker and Yo-Duuh. I LOVE Star Wars and just had to make a Yo-Duuh. Yes he is short, gray haired and balding, with ears that stick out as far as I could get. Unfortuantely I cant make a pirate green. : ( I made Yo-Duuh just for fun and my guild knows all my pirates and now that Yo-Duuh is me, no problem.

However, I have experienced issues where there are guys playing as girl pirates and vice versa. I have no problem with a cross-gender pirate. The problem I do have is when a cross-gender pirate is flirting with a pirate of the opposite gender. Cross gender gril pirate flirting with a guy pirate and vice versa. I personally feel that this is crossing a line.

So, here is my advice. IF you have or plan on creating a cross gender pirate, make sure the people who are friends with you or in your guild know this. And if anyone starts to flirt with that cross gender pirate, I would suggest they be informed too.

I have noticed that being a girl and playing a guy pirate (my son's Just Jack and my Yo-Duuh) that several things are different in the game between the genders. First, the guys run strange. They clop clop their way around and from the back look like they are running head frist. Second, I think their arms are longer. I noticed this when attuning things. And I also noticed that they are created in the game to be stronger than girl pirates. I actually noticed this in a pvp match with a friend from my guild. My mastered Kate Goldwalker is stronger than his guy pirate in a few weapons, but yet he was still kicking my butt. The pvp match was a tie though, LOL.

As for playing a girl pirate - I DO NOT LIE about who I am. I don't conceal that I'm a man playing Eliza. If a guy hits on her, I let him down easy in a whisper.

However, I do occasionally flirt with other girls (ones I've confirmed are actually girl players and friends). But, I try not to be public about it because that might be a little much for nearby younguns.

So, if you see Eliza - sorry but she's not looking for a boyfriend!

Too many people are playing POTCO trying to hook up, I think.

I disagree with this part. I don't believe that there is any difference in strength or abilities. The damage done is equal if the points in the weapons are equal. The health is equal if the points are equal.
The rep earned from defeating an enemy are equal.
Guy or girl, max health is 2502. (I seem to remember that number, anyways.)
It may be that he was beating you because he had more health than you,(spent more points in that passive skill) or because he was using his combos better, or because he was ...um... cheating somehow, but it wasn't because he was "Stronger" than your girl pirate.
