I'd still hold onto it, though. There's always the slight chance that Nexon makes Sweetwater gear psok-able. Lots of people have requested this feature in the past.
Supposedly, rants and raves about anything MapleStory related is supposed to go in General Chat now. I assume that includes forum-related stuff? We post about the forums in General Chat pretty often, anyway. I guess that's better for thread visibility (since General Chat is probably the second-most frequented board, the first being Bug Reporting lul), but it'll take some getting used to.
lol I'm a guy that plays AB (which is gender-locked to female) and I get hit on every once in a while. I also feel like people treat me differently thinking I'm a girl o_o I usually just awkwardly let them know that I'm a guy, and we laugh it off.
My sister also experiences this a lot on other games (not MapleStory - she mainly plays CS:GO nowadays). People flirting with her cuz she's a girl that plays games lol. As soon as she says something on her mic, people are all like "OMG GRILL".
I think (in MapleStory, at least) that they're just messing around. I'm not excusing what they're doing, but I'd try not to take anything they say seriously/personally lol. Most of them are probably just joking and would probably stop if you tell them to. If they do follow you around after you tell them to stop, you could report them for harassment I think? Or do what Sharp said.
you work for Nexon now?!
