You’ve been conditioned to use unnatural words.
So you didn’t follow our advice? You didn’t put them on ignore and report them?
I once had a random Worgen guy come up and offer me a dead animal as a sign of affection.
More recently, some bird whispered me about feeling a need to “submit” in the presence of my character, and took a knee in front of me for a good few minutes.
Just squirrels trying to get they nut.
You’ve never actually RPed and it shows. I know your servers says Wyrmres Accord but Alliance RP has always been dead there.
Just avoid Goldshire. We all do. And it’s not the standard.
What’s more realistic… You making a simple change or the entire world changes?
I don’t know man

I have chars on MG, I’m not an idiot and have watched the evolution of RP’ers.
I’m on Moonguard and main female toons. Never had an issue that an ignire couldn’t fix. Never had a message that was worthy of a report.
Sounds like OP is soft. Calm down and visit a barber
That one is actually funny. Sort of like how a pet cat will bring home its catch to you, which is a way of showing their devotion. At least that player showed some inventiveness.
As for my experiences playing a female Worgen on Moon Guard for the past ten years, I’ve received whispers of the ‘sus’ variety…three times, I think? None of them were particularly crass, either. Honestly, I think our server’s reputation is way overblown, and comes from outsiders visiting the Goldshire Inn…an activity that is ‘sus’ all on its own.
Q.F.T.
I wouldn’t say soft. I’d say, ‘expecting people to behave in a decent manner’. Between Guu and Barn it’s literally night and day how people approach and, more importantly, behave.
In regards to Barn I found a smaller group to build stories on which more or less resolves the issue but I certainly don’t think I’d publicly RP with a lady/body type 2 character again.
It’s just disappointing to me.
I do think that’s pretty funny. Although I imagine a good number of characters being a bit unsettled by the show of affection.
It’s like flowers! Just…a bit bloody.

Very sad to see how many people are quick to blame you or otherwise go off about how it’s a personal flaw of yours 
Ik this is the Wow forums, but jeez.
Definitely not something you did wrong! And it’s sadly a common experience. Like even you post that you don’t want ERP, or god forbid you do have a romance plot, people just always find a way to ruin it. Even just potential RP buddies constantly pushing back with creepy annoying stuff like “oh, everyone that says they don’t ERP totally does it anyway, stop pretending you don’t.”
It isn’t unique to Wow either, as I’ve spent many years on FF14 and the like with the struggle. After so many negative comments and personal attacks I just ended up gutting my character and taking a long break. It’s too exhausting. Back to the endless collectible grind! I hope you are able to enioy some adventures with friends despite all the creepers

It is, and does. There are a few “lifestyle” guilds, sure, but that’s just statistics bearing out.
Like with how pretty much every political ideology has some criminal lunatic or another under their belt. Or several.
Unwanted whispers are not the person’s fault.
Not taking steps to correct this is. This isn’t like in real life. in real life if you ignore someone You still risk violence and harassment. Here you don’t. By their own admission they said they aren’t going to do it because they shouldn’t have to.
No you shouldn’t. But you’re going to continue to get it. The world’s not gonna change overnight all you can do is report and wait for an action. You can die on the hill or you can fix your problem immediately…

How did you make a woman character OP? How is that even possible?
That’s not what I said. I’ve had to ignore a number of people. I simply said I shouldn’t have to blatantly say that my character isn’t interested in ERP or romance.
My experience and the experience of others: People really like speedrunning relationship arcs. You just meet someone and you’re immediately asking them to dinner with wine sort of deal. That’s what some call ‘taking it too quickly’.
If your goal in a RP interaction is to score a relationship at world record pace, I’m sorry. That’s a horrible arc and I think it’s a bit silly that it has to be spelled out. I’m not above ignoring people, though.

No but typing in seven letters would perhaps prevent these things from happening too. it’s very little effort on your part is all i’m saying. I’m not a role player so I really don’t care that much. But if I was encountering a problem that could be solved preemptively I guess I would

Been on Moon Guard since the beginning, and rarely had this issue. I’ve played all races, both genders, and while I did get the occasional nudge towards romantic RP, I just told them I wasn’t interested and that was that.
I did, for a brief time, play a prostitute and actually charged in game gold for ERP. I made a little over 2 million gold before I deleted the character and moved on with my life lol. (One guy payed me $150k to RP letting him paint my toe nails and massage my feet, that was it).
So yeah, the kinky ERP is certainly there and very easy to find if you want it. But I’ve found that a simple “Not interested in romance/erp” in my TRP profile is enough to keep things PG.
If it’s your stance that you shouldn’t have to communicate with people OOC, even by putting your preferences in your TRP profile, no matter what those preferences are, you’re setting yourself up for a bad time.
There are even toggles that you can flip without using your fingers to type it out. One of them is even “With player permission” to indicate that you want to prompt a discussion about it instead of a hard “no”:

Yeah, unfortunately the mass of these emotion-driven relationship speedrunners prefer quantity over quality. Like 99% of the time. Which means they got different dates lined up each day of the week, and your character’s story gets thrown out the window for Tinder RP.
And for how much effort and care gets put into your character…it’s just lame. So no wonder so many people just go to Goldshire and earn cash off of these lonely e-boy types.

It’s not just female characters. I stopped in Goldshire ONCE when Dracthyr were still new and I got a few whispers from (presumably) men who wanted to get beneath Dracen’s tail.
When I told them my Dracthyr was a guy they… just replied “Even better.” Well except for one of them who just stopped talking entirely at that point.

What’s even more crazy is that the entire conversation began because I’d complimented the person on her character’s name. (I’m a sucker for clever/ funny char names.) We got to talking about in-game stuff. Maybe an hour later, she segued into the territory of “seeking a girlfriend,” or some such. The whole thing–especially her string of emojis–just defies logic; it makes for an interesting memory to share, anyway.
I find it amusing that I just read your post, not one hour after a fellow Alliance player–on a non-RP realm–handed my female Dwarf a mixed tape just before the Treasure Goblin appeared. I actually giggled, thinking back to guys and gals giving one another mixed tapes to express their interest/ affection for one another.
