kinda specifically for women/young women, how do you push harder content?
I’m 20f, been playing since around 16f. i wanna try to push for glad, high m+, and mythic raiding. kind of also a rant tldr at bottom
I’ve been raiding in pretty much the same guild since the start of dragonflight, theyre just an aotc guild and do a little m+ on the side. I feel like i cannot leave this guild, the guild leader kicks people who are creepy or sexist.
in shadowlands i was only able to join 1 guild, because i lied about my age and said i didnt have a mic, but i wanna be friendly, but kinda hard to be friendly when youre lying about who you are. every guild would insta kick me when they found out i was a girl who was under 18.
I’m now 20, and apparently people still will kick me because I’m not 21 yet, like i dont get it, I’m over 18, theres no issue.
every time i leave my main guild, i tell myself “I’m going to really try and mythic raid” talk one night in a guild m+ and everyone acts normal, so i think I’m chill, but then one guy during raid says some dumb sexual bullshit to me and everyone laughs, i pass it off as just a joke and wont be a massive thing, since they also make sex jokes towards eachother, but then the jokes stop turning into jokes like they do with others and just turns into “jokingly flirting / jokingly dirty talking”. if i say anything, I’m the bad guy, even if i get someone kicked, i wont be liked as much
ive had people in the middle of raid dm me asking if im single, where I’m at, and all that stuff. send a screen shot to the guild leader, and they “have a word” with him, but that has never actually accomplished anything except have the dude dming me be more aggressive with it.
for pvp, ik you dont need to discord to get glad, but almost every group asks if i wanna vc, and telling them no seems to ruin their mood, but ive also been flamed for getting carried just because I’m a woman, the moment i got on call, the dudes never saw me play and just flamed me and kicked me, so I’m done with pugging pvp
m+ is kinda a mix of both pvp and guild issues.
i also dont want to get taken just because people want to get with me. at the start of this xpack i was super busy so couldnt really do anything, i found a guild that i could play with, and they knew i was busy, was just a heroic and early mythic guild. they told me to just ask in dungeons and theyll 4 man keys, i thought this was just a nice thong they were doing. after a week or 2 i realized I’m the only woman, and the only person they even offer doing this for. it took me just afk’ing every pull one week for them to finally say something (wanted to see if they were just taking me because they were interested)
am i destined to just stay in this one guild, only doing heroic raiding? do I just have to bite the bullet and put up with being sexualized while trying to climb leaderboards till i find a guild/group that is chill. i play the game to have fun, not deal with that bs.
ive found some guilds with other women, but its pretty much just the one i mainly play with, so going from one heroic guild to another wont really help me climb
TLDR
how do i climb up the guild ladder without being sexualized, or is that just something i 100% have to deal with in order to mythic raid/push higher content until i find the one holy grail of a guild
