The day before I managed to pugged a hunter into a jinta alor run (you know how hard it is to get a group for jinta and when I saw the hunter just killing snapjaws I just asked). Anyway, I found him to be a pretty good player. My first main in WoW ever is a hunter and I don't think I can play half as good as him. He communicated with us in "crude" english but still comprehensible. I suspected that he is a China Chinese (chichi) because:
1. of his english
2. good player (pve at least)
3. female character

and my curiosity got the better of me and when I asked him where is he from, he said China. Anyway, invited him to another ZF run last night and he's the best 5 man pve hunter I've ever seen. He knew exactly when to FD, trap, pull, get his pet to offtank etc. Which reminded me another chichi that I met in my old server. This mage could solo 6 yellow mobs at one go in 100% green gears at lv 18.

Anyway, so I'm just wondering would you bring a known chichi into an instance? Even if he doesnt ninja, can communicate with you 85% of the time, and is a damn good player? Or would you not even give him a chance? Plus, I don't think he works as a gold selling farmer coz he has the time to go to jinta and ZF with us.

instance i will not bring him along , but if can u can be fren wif him , when he got nice stuff to sell , ask him and nego , he will sell you cheap, i remember my 1st 2 travaler bagpack i brought from a chinese farmer for onli 1g each bcoz he alreadi reach his quota of the day.

LOL yeah because I know how to type han yu pin yin I knew a lot of chinese farmers in my old server. They were my constant supplier for major mana. I bought them for 4g per stack and I was drinking those mana pots like water until one day blizzard banned ALL of them and I never saw them again...

But like I said, don't think this guy is a farmer and he really is a VERY GOOD hunter (I'm sure EVERYONE has some bad experiences with hunters before...)

as u at the 1st said he is Chinaman who is chinese farmer...
but in the last, u said u dun think he is chinese farmer as he went to instances where by he nous how to do it there...
so fr this summary, i might wanna b fren with him since if he isnt chinese gold farmer...
btw i dun care is he a chinese or Guai Low, i will treat them as gamepal...
as long as they r not farmers or gold sellers who turn this game looks ghey...
coz im the 1 who really really @#$kingly hate them like h3ll... vmad.gif
frenz any1 is welcome except farmers & gold sellers... shakehead.gif

Umm.. in my first post I said he is China Chinese but I don't think he is a farmer because he goes to instances but the most solid reason that I think he's not a gold selling farmer because between the jinta alor run and ZF run, he didn't even lvl up :b If he's a gold selling farmer he'd probably lvl up at least 2 lvls already.

Didn't Blizz ban all China, Taiwan, Hong Kong IPs from WoW USA recently? Becoz legit players are complaining about it in WoW Customer Service Forums.

I have no idea...I think I kinda read somewhere that they banned china isp from US WoW but I'm not sure. But I know a couple of legit players who don't play on WoW China because they themselves hate ninja.

..your post may not speak about farmers but your Post Title was Chinese Farmer. Hee hee...

Hmm... I guess that could be misleading. I meant he's not a gold selling farmer lol. Most of us are farmers at some point...like when I was farming for herbs and mats for raiding etc. Or when I farmed that stupid Arugal for the damn robes from lv24 until I hit lv30 and I just waited 2 more lvls and went for my warlock quest instead.

Which would you prefer: skilled player who types in broken english or lousy player but can understand you perfectly? Both with good attitudes...

Don't know why but i am finding the topic kinda offending. Whats the problem with Chinese farmers, that deserve such a discussion.

Sorta like,

"Americans, will you befriend them?"
"Malaysians, will you befriend them?"

Sounds racist to me
*
Whether it is racist or not, or whether we like it or not, the general mindset of most players (not all) in WoW is like "oh he's from china, he must be a ninja, let's not party with him". I myself don't mind as long as we can communicate (I've worked in china for 2 years and no, I did not go there to bash them up with racist remarks).

The main reason for my post is that I'm trying to find out the general mindset of Malaysian WoWers. AND if there is someone who express that they will not befriend these Chinese from China players, I am very curious to know what is the reason behind that sort of thinking.

Please at least read the original post before making a statement like that. And I don't see any problems with a "Americans, will you befriend them" topic discussion though it does not apply to me since I choose to play on a US server. It would be absurd to create a "Malaysians, will you befriend them" topic in a Malaysian forum.

The topic is just misleading.

I found them as just regular players, nothing wrong man.

Would we just start a thread

" will you befriend chinese speaking SG players?"

now, whats wrong with chinese speaking? i don't see the point of this topic for discussion.

from the topic starter
You are accusing as a whole Chinese players are ninjas?
I am assuming "chichi" is referring to the chinese players.

Why not? Played with Taiwanese/Chinese/Korean/Americans/Canadians/Chillean, thats MMO man, meet friends all around the world smile.gif

I know what seen trying to express here, just that the topic is just misleading smile.gif Sorry if i offended anybody
*
Well, PERHAPS you find the topic misleading because you have a tendency to think everyone else but yourself is a racist?

On the contrary, I do not find Chinese from China as the same as any other players just for the simple fact that a lot of them (NOT ALL) cannot communicate well in English. I have partied with one of them to a DM run before and he just greeded everything, even a BOP blue that was not for his class when the loot rule was set at pass on all bop. When I typed pin yin with him and asked him why he did that, he told me he didnt understand the concept of "need, greed, pass on blue" etc. Because of this, most of them were deemed "ninja".

And please, plaz, the LEAST you can do is read my original post, it's not that long anyway. If you read it you will know that I do not think nor accuse nor condemn the whole Chinese from China nation as ninjas.

And yes, just as my topic "offended" you, your statement which I find is rather ignorant has "offended" me.
