My absolute biggest problem, and huge beef;
I've been in several guilds where girls were... shall we say... using the fact that they were a girl to get ahead. With the exception of AM every guild I've been in has had at least one whiny, "i should get everything and get it free" girl in guild. I haven't had issues with them attacking me like the girl in the link went into, however I can say that after playing WoW for years it totally pisses me off to see a girl using it for free items. There's been some extreme cases, where guys in guild will pay for "the guild darling" to raid, pay for her flasks, pots, repairs. I was even in one guild where a girl managed to wrap several guys around her finger and received free money for expensive mounts (The CE one and every netherdrake) and various other cosmetic items. It was no secret when the guys in the guild were spending days farming for her. It's not jealousy that I'm relaying this either, she pretty much burned through them. Each one of these guys she used eventually left the guild, or left the game, when she either decided their usefulness was over or pretended to quit. To this day I have no idea why they kept her, I was in that guild over a year and the fact that she would get voted (it was a LC guild) for items over other players of her class nearly made me rage, especially since she wasn't good, didn't have to try for her materials to raid, and the real fun one... almost never showed up. I can say I will never, ever forget her. She was whiny. She brazenly flirted in vent. She was full of incessant complaints. She is the entire reason I hate speaking on vent and why I spent the better part of three years pretending I was a male.
Personally I don't see a problem with girls being flirty as long as they don't get ahead with it. I feel like I work for my epics, I apologize to the RL or even raid team if I make a mistake like anyone should. I attempt to better my raid knowledge, techniques and awareness whenever possible. I farm or pay for everything I need and I feel other girls should as well. In all honesty the amount of girls using sexy vent talk to get items has decreased over the years, either guys have smartened up or they've thrown a tantrum and quit (hopefully they quit).
I can say one absolutely great thing though, AM has a lot of females, and by far it has been the best bunch I've met. =)
