An avatar basically shows that you have payed for the game. You're more likely to be taken seriously if you have any avatar above the 5ec starting ones. Gender-wise, I don't really notice a difference. I've used both female and male avatars and they basically just deter the same gender. Both male and female players are equally desperate and creepy. Now, as for looks I don't even know what to say. People who take an avatar seriously aren't the people I would want to talk to anyway.
People do ignore others because of kcs most of the time. As for avatar… Now i buy ecs. But when i started i wasn't buying ecs but i did job for ecs to buy a 55ec avatar. … i don't know why i did that but i did it and wasn't really into 5ecs…
honestly, i think its because of the ignorance of low stats these days. Due to how fast people upgrade, yet how slow they learn. It's pretty annoying having a convo with a e.g 200kcs player who knows nothing about pimd. Like 'yeah so and so is being sf" "whats sf?" Or "i bought such and such for dvp" "what's dvp?" It's just annoying af tbh. So tend to stay away from small stats to save giving a lesson every time.
Dvs aswell, thats fucking annoying. When you befriend a low stat player because they seem nice then they say shit like "I don't make any money because of my small stats, you have so much money. It's so unfair :cry: ' fuck off noob :|
I have a good solution. Just ignore everyone, and no one can accuse you of "discriminating" or anything.
