You're suggesting that the majority of players are male, which in my experience isn't really true despite gaming supposedly being a guy thing. You'd probably be surprised at how many female characters are in fact played by females and even how many of them play as males.



Most of the LS's I've been in are typically at least 30% female...although in fairness, typically the more 'hardcore/endgame' the LS, the smaller the 'real girl' percentage. So in my more elite shell, I am the ONLY chick who does raids and endgame on a regular basis. However in social shells, the real dude to girl ratio is much more even. Afterall, according to studies, 40% of gamers are now girls.
Now before this becomes a 'girls suck at gaming' thing...lemme just point out that many girls who play MMO's, esp this one, have children, are in school, or just don't like the pressure of attending scheduled events constantly. Or we are playing this game mostly with friends/spouses and not worrying about constantly being the best.
Also, the language and overall behavior of many 'Elite' LS's (not all) demeans and/or objectifies women and basically doesn't welcome them socially. (Not saying the guys don't like the girls they do overall....they just don't talk amongst themselves in a way that makes us feel comfy). Most of the girls I know who are in elite shells 'tolerate' the boys around them but are mostly in the ls's because they want the sexy gears and accomplishments as well.

This may have been true last decade, but I'm finding that the ratio has shifted to the point that it's closer to 60/40 on both genders with male players having the higher percentage in both cases.
Male gamers may still be in the majority, but this is rapidly changing.


Well, I'm female playing female. I don't plan on changing Risa. But I will probably have a male Miqo'te mule.
And for me I love gaming. Love raiding. Love events.

Male playing female.
Early days of playing MMOs as male characters but kind of got bored with that. Besides gear tends to look better on female characters design-wise and I don't mean scantily clad.


Female playing female and remaining so
