My un-solicited two cents:
This is an online tank-battle game, not a dating or hook-up sight.
Personally, IDGAF what age, race, gender, nationality, political affiliation, dietary habits, personal beliefs, religious affiliation, etc., etc., etc. a player has, holds or practices as those things have absolutely nothing to do with demonstrated skill and ability within the context of this game.
If some dude wants to make his online, in-game persona to be a female, or a dog or a houseplant.... well, that's his/her/it's business. We're simply trying to play a tank-battle game here, not start a family...
lastly, I seriously doubt that very many players are operating under their actual given names, so all this righteous indignation about someone's handle being misleading is really pretty silly.
I enjoy playing this game a great deal and I also enjoy reading this forum as many of you are awesome contributors of good insights and information. At the very least it's all good entertainment, and that's really the point, right? While I respect and admire many of you for your skills and abilities and experience, I have absolutely no interest in "hooking-up" with any of you... that's not why I am here, so be whatever gender or species or life-form that makes you happy, I really truly do not care.
So what if DMG is not really a "G"? That really only matters when it comes to live, in-person interaction... and this ain't that.
I think it's cool when I get a chance to battle either with or against some of the more well-known players in this game... and yes, I do see them slumming and clubbing down in the lower tiers where I'm working my way up... it's one of the aspects of this game that makes it interesting...
