You could say that SE is trying to cash in on the tendency of people (mostly young, straight men) to spend ridiculous amounts of money on dressing up female avatars when it comes to the overall quality disparity, especially when talking about the cash shop. And I would agree with you.

But the quantity gap is baffling to me. There's no extra money to be made by having more craftable female sets than male. That's just unspoken employee bias becoming evident in the game itself, which is poor form for a game that has a fairly even gender ratio of players.

Some people have said that SE mentioned a male set would be released later... where is that recorded? And is it going to be a male set or another unisex set?
