Summary: You know, most of the characters in Horde looks...ugly, especially the male ones. Well, the appearance of characters is one of the decisive elements for most female players I think. And for male ones, characters#DY# attributes seems more important. Of course, many others reasons would affect the choices.

Recently, I'm playing WoW with friends. Some of them play characters of the opposite sex. It is just beyond my grasp even some girls play the male characters. We have chosen to fight for the Horde. You know, most of the characters in Horde looks...ugly, especially the male ones. Well, the appearance of characters is one of the decisive elements for most female players I think. And for male ones, characters' attributes seems more important. Of course, many others reasons would affect the choices.

"ok i have a female priest and when im in groups everyone is extra nice, if i do a crap job or we wipe nobodys shouts abuse at me. Also when i quest around people always say hi and sometimes give me gold and such. well this is why i play a female :) what booot u" A wow player said.

"I guess I'm a middle-grounder:

I see no problem whatsoever with a male player rolling a female character and playing a female character. I don't think it means that he has homosexual tendencies either latent or overt. (In fact, and as an aside, I understand that very, very few homosexual males have any desire at all to actually be a woman.)" Another one said.
So which reasons will you consider while choosing character's sex? How do you feel about playing characters of the opposite sex?

Which reasons will affect your choice in character sex?

a.The appearance.

b.Characters' attributes.

c.Camp.

d.Particular superiority of the sex.

e.Just at will.

f.Others.

How do you feel about playing characters of the opposite sex?

a.I can't accept it.

b.It's indifficult for me.

c.It makes games more interesting.

Then, let's have a general view about what happened last week.
