Battle of the Sexes MsNyxxie
I was sitting down in the Off Topic Forum just monitoring things when a spammer began spamming the forum. That's when I began thinking about this exact article. The gears in my brain were turning in full force. When you think of a spammer-- do you think of a male, or female player?

When we think of a spammer, who spams up the boards with usually the most useless information ever; do you think of a male or a female? I'm sure most of you stopped and thought for a bit, but in the end, we all usually had the same answer: male.

When we think of a scammer or someone who exploits to make it in the game, do you think of a male or a female? Again, stop to think. In most cases, the same answer applies: male.

As far as I, MsNyxxie, is aware, most of the well known exploiters and scammers are, in fact, male and although I as an HDO have no access to the B.O.S. (Ban on Sight), I did ask 5litre if the B.O.S. list was made up mostly of male or female and got a quick and simple response, "I believe most are male."

Earlier this reset, females were dominating the states page after the new update of State Don. We had Browneyes, Sweetie, Confectionary and Alatariel all at the same time. However now, the spot seems to have swayed to the male-dominant side. It brings up the question of, "who actually plays this game the best?"

Due to the fairly low amount of female players (that is, compared to male players), males have more of a chance of taking the State Don position that females just due to their size in numbers.

On the Elite Guard, 100% of the crew is male-inhibited. Does this mean that female players haven't shown through with "leader quality" yet, or it's just by sheer coincidence?

What is your opinion? We'd love to hear it in the Buzz Thread in the Game Forum!
