Every woman in the guild is there because we are sick and tired of the crap from the kids and when I say this that age can go into the 20's that are just so stupid they will ruin the game for you. One person, in the game I currently play, in Zone chat, does nothing but talk about rape. What the hell? I read it just to get to know thy enemy sort of thing then block like 5 or 6 people for just being complete asses. They think it makes them cool to get a reaction, trolls suck. I know its a game to them but I don't pay $15 a month to be disgusted by ignorance.
