The scary paradigm shift of Balmung.

[Astronis]

I think it depends on what race/gender you play as tbh. I've gone to Balmung Quicksands a few times and rarely get any spontaneous interactions, but I get plenty whenever I go to Faerie Limsa while on my hroth alt. I don't get much solicitation in general tho, most tells I get are compliments or tame conversation starters.

This is the truth. My friends who play catgirls have Stories to Tell, while I think I've gotten two weird RP tells in several years. More often I get weird interactions where I get the feeling someone expects they'll get free stuff out of me just because my avatar is male, though that doesn't happen a lot either.

Mostly I get what sounds like sincere compliments on my glamours.
