Well to me mmo's are somewhere you can go to and get away from the real world as a feel of relaxation. Me personally I will always choose a may character just because I am a male myself. But as said I seen others do it to troll, get free stuff, and to cause drama which to me is a waste of time while I see others use them and can totally be upfront and tell you that they are really a male or female. Some like the way the opposite gender looks which I see no harm in.~ ^_^
