Would you be interested in a military/trade guild?
He tried to recruit one of my Draenei characters in his Scarlet guild earlier this morning. I let him know that I was aware of his modus operandi and I wasnāt interested.

It might be kinda fun to do some sort of speed dating event in game, have people get to meet new people, potentially only on alts w/ a throwaway discord server. Iām not sure itās a good idea though. I think with meeting new people in game, looking for romance specifically, it could really put people at risk of virtual stalking, harassment, and/or catfishing. Iāve been playing this game for at least 14 years, and Iām not very emotionally close to anyone Iāve met in WoW. How can you be close to someone youāve rarely heard and never seen?
But then I hear stories of people who fall in love as pen pals or over text, and I just canāt fathom it, so everyone is different.
I donāt see any reason people couldnāt find a way to make dating in WoW work, Iām just not sure it would or does.
Speaking of personal preferences and misgivings, referring to people as āmalesā and āfemalesā strikes me as odd. Men and women do perfectly well, and have the added benefit of not typically being used to refer to lizards.

Due to trolling Iām no longer keeping tabs on this. I forgot the internet can be an evil rhetoric fueled place.

I looked and didnāt see your btag in the thread at all can you mail it to me in-game or want me to send you an in-game later? I havenāt seen you online at all 
It was there but edited out.
Evidently pathetic people were using it to troll the guy.
Mac, sorry you had to deal with that and even though youāve said youāre not watching this thread I hope you hook up with some of the folks here that have offered to help out.
Alice-maybe send him an in game letter and get it started. Good luck to all.

Well crap. Iām sorry that people decided to take advantage of your pretty honest and open request and be awful about it. Hopefully at you at least got some good info out of the people who were genuinely trying to be helpful, and hopefully you donāt let this prevent you from checking out some of the good opportunities on Moonguard.
Maybe that was a bit brashā¦ thatās gingerkid in me talking after allā¦plus bad day at work.
I really enjoy the forum community. MG is one of those places that doesnāt really have " sides " both Horde and Alliance come together for a good community.
Boy did I get pissed though at all the trollsā¦lolā¦
I wonāt let it sour me though.
Iāll gladly read in game mail!!! ā¦but no more putting my Btag out there publicly unless yaāll request it in game.
Blessings to allā¦

Iām sorry that happened.
Iāve learned the hard way in the past about letting people know any information that allows them to contact you out into the public.
If people continue to harass you, donāt reply to their IMās and report them to blizzard, explaining what is going on.
If you reply to their IM, blizzard will throw out the report. But if you just go ahead and report and put in info about how this all happened, the people harassing will get a swift time-out.
I have played WoW for over a decade. I have met some amazing people. The friendships you develop online can be just as meaningful as irl. I have a few WoW friends that Iām very close with and we exchange Christmas cards, gifts for special occasions, ect. People online can become apart of your life.
As far as dating in WoW. My biggest piece of advice is: Guard your heart. I know some people who have met and married from meeting in WoW but theyāre far and few between. There are some girls/dudes that will play with your emotions for months, hell, years. I have found the people that eventually get weird about being friends on social media after months of talking are usually trolls. Thereās also people who use other peopleās pictures 
. Just my experience.
If you go out there trying to date someone and keep searching for someone to date, it wonāt happen.

Well I didnāt intend it in the beginning, but it seemed right for my current alliance character to start dating another character, because of how the story line ended up. Strictly IC only, though.
Honestly, though, Iād rather not have my characters date, because then I canāt flirt with others anymore, and flirting is half the fun!
People do, anywhere people can gather, people can get together. Finding someone can be difficult, but it does happen.
