As a girl who enjoys GW2, I don’t mind playing either gender. I suppose it’s partially because I have personal characters for each one (I don’t RP, I just like making up stories) but it also doesn’t bother me if others don’t know I’m a girl most of the time. People ask, they are shocked (not surprising to me, I’m always mistaken for a guy) and promptly apologize for calling me a guy but it’s not a big deal. It happens, it’s hard to tell someone’s gender online. xP
