Hey, realism is fine and dandy, but I don't really play a game to work. I myself play my character as "second class" cantina dancer, but that is playing the role I chose for her. I would never expect anyone else to play the same style, nor accpet a forced "entertainers are second class characters" set up. It is a game, not the real world. We can change it much easier than we can change the world, and we would be stupid not to make it better.

Fuschia, you dont live in a world where there are all kinds of guys running around with guns, and where its coolest, to have tha latest tropy from a dancerous area.


As someone dimly see as enerving provider of services (heal BF/Buff)by the majority of the combat classes, the entertainer is NOT the highest. I quate a guy saying he hated that he had to go to a cantina to get BF healed. I guess buffbots and unimaginative AFKs do their job. They doint want to watch you flourish, they want to get healed in Zerotime, and back into action.


I dont speak about all Combat Classes, but the attitude exists in a lot of people.

How in God's name was my post narrow-minded? I'm simply stating my refusal to be categorized as second-class just because of what I do, in-game or in real life. That's ridiculous. You can only think of yourself as second-class if you ALLOW someone to make you feel that way. I'm stronger than that. My worth as a person has little to nothing to do with what I do for a living. The same holds true for my character in game.

I am an actress/singer in real life, and I must have missed the whole "you're a second class citizen" memo. I'm a classically trained operatic soprano, and as such, have been exposed to a world of art and culture that too few young adults have any experience with these days. As for the game, well, my 14.99 is just as green as yours, sweet cheeks, and I'll challenge anyone who says otherwise.







Hehe, I'm sorry, I had to point this out.


If only just because I was never able to use it in any conversation or post I've ever been involved in

Hee! I love that phrase... it's so utterly patronizing.
