I'll typically make complete macro sets so they're quick and easy speed reading tips to watch out for regarding dungeons, raids, or alliance raids (unless they're fairly straight for; IE dodge stuff, don't die). And as these dungeons change over each patch, I'll rename and re-write them for players. I'll also ask the new players (who mention they're new in chat) if they'd like the spoiler version of the mechanics, or to go in blind and learn themselves

(5) Usually, what gender are these players that you've helped? (Majority Male/Majority Female/A Balance of Both/Other)
All genders. I don't typically ask them what they are. They're players in game, and that's it (to me).

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

1. Other
2. 90
3. Yes
4. Everything you’ve listed, especially giving advices & tips when promptly asked.
5. I never give any thought about their gender besides addressing them accordingly depending on their avatar’s, so I won’t know for sure.
6. I have my own set of rules when I decide if I want to assist another individual or not. But to keep it short & simple: majority of times I only help when people ask for my assistance, be it in form of tips/advices or other gestures.

Goodluck with your project.

Do you mean RL or in-game gender? Although TBH I couldn't answeer as I generally don't pay much attention to either the character or player's gender - only time character gender has come up when discussing gender locked glamor items.
