Stereotypes of Mabinogi

• SuperSoulful wrote on 2010-10-10 23:41
  I guess the most stereotypically slanted thoughts I have about Mab users is that fishing people are always AFK, and that you only get the Cooking skill if you are a girl or GIRL. Fo' sho'.
  
  There's other stereotypes I can think of, but every MMO has them, so they're not particularly unique to Mab. :pick:

  The Stereotype I can think of is whenever someone see a new item, the very first thing they questions is "Is it Dyeable?!"
  and the next question is always "Can it be repaired?!"
  
  I always do that 4 some reaons, I don't even know why I do that :lol:

  for me,
  (1) Can it be repaired?
  (2) Can it be enchanted?
  (3) If #1 is yes, how much to repair?
  etc. etc. until
  (153) Is it dyeable?

  I think a common stereotype is the appearance factor... Just because someone's rich and has fancy clothing or is flashy OR has an ego doesn't necessarily mean he/she's a pro.You could be lvl 1,TOTAL lvl 1 and still be rich...I don't see how but a common trend among friends is gifting....then again friends letting friends "borrow" their stuff and then not go on for some time and they basically get to keep it...If it's rare though....Also the fishing event is playing a major role in the noobillionare outbreak....But that also contributes to the "Ha,noob.I stole your (insert item name here)!" (aka Scamming) factor...

  People who never change clothes/armor/robes: Smart.
  People who only repair 1 point on their robes per RB:Pure Genius.

  People who whines about being camped and calls the camper "no life" person = the one who get camped actually have no life for taking things too seriously.
  
  I think this is kinda true too.

  People who join EvG knowing that there are people that camp, knowing that they turn themselves into a walking target, KNOWING THAT IT IS BASED ON A WAR AND THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO REAL REASON FOR MERCY, People that join EvG and then cry about getting random/camped=stupid.
  
  If you are going to CRY about it, stop joining! It's not going to change.

  Yeah, I'll admit I don't like EvG at all (people take it way too seriously, and being camped really is annoying), but I just turned it off and that was the end of it. No need to complain anymore after that.

  You know, once my guildies and I did a bet. We got all the females to dress as guys (popo shorts and a headgear to cover our faces) and the guys dress as girls (hat and premium newbie wear [F]) and have the females ask other girls for marriage in-game and the guy ask other guys for marriage in-game.
  
  I should list some of the funniest answers we got from BOTH male and female players.

  People who swear too much = Jerks, or just being too young to realize inserting swears doesn't make you cool
  Censor bypass = Stupid, and see above to add to that
  
  Edit
  
  Oh, and one more thing.
  People who think using your race's strength to your advantage is stupid = Stupid

  
  
  I swear by default. After awhile in the heavy metal scene it just becomes part of your daily speech and guess what i was part of for most of my teenaged years. I also overide the censors because i'm anti-censorship when it comes to language. So while I know your post isn't dircted at me i just thought i'd point out that even people who can speak English fluently, are well over the age range where swearing is "cool", and care not about attention can have a swearing tendancy. So by that i hardly take mass swearing as a stereotype, but again that's just due to my personal conditioning.
  
  
  Which this kind of makes me think of another stereotype that i find humorous because i break it ALL THE TIME.
  
  Girls are usually the only players who over use text emoticons.
  and
  Only younger/teen players use fail grammar equivalent spellings or expressions.
  
  
  I'm neither a teenager nor a girl but I will talk with my mabi daughter as if i was. I'm pretty sure it's evident that i can talk normally but I talk/type to my demographic that i'm speaking to. Maybe this is why people honestly thought i was a girl before..... lol.

  If anything, it's hard to take seriously any player that uses fail grammar or expressions, especially if they "try" to be serious and still fail grammar/mistype unless you know they don't speak English.
