Digging ditches? You mean operating a payloader? And a government job working for the sewer commission?
Oh please, break out the violins.

Yeah, not sure why, but I think thereâs some difference between the likelihood for engaging with online surveys vs. phone surveys. In terms of age, Iâd expect anything phone related to also just trend towards an older audience.
No one is moving a goalpost, but if someone wants to throw in statistics, a reality of the online survey industry making those statistics mostly worthless is relevant.
Also, youâre confusing a desire for anonymity with willingness to take online surveys. Women might not want to specify their gender in a discord server or the like where theyâll be interacting with people directly who will know their online handle and might send personal messages. Online surveys typically promise the information they gather will only be used for compiling statistics and that the person answering wonât have their private identity revealed in the results.
This isnât a controversial statement. Women are more likely to fill out online surveys. A standard online survey will promise anonymity. Iâm sure if it said, âby the way, weâll include your name in a publicly accessible list so people can see how you answered,â that percentage would drop like a rock.
If someone really wanted to know the gender breakdown of WoW, the best thing to do would probably be to convince Blizzard to run an algorithm on their subscriber list, dividing out names associated to men vs. women.
Some names are of course gender neutral, though often with the names people think of that way, thatâs just an issue in speech due to a name sounding phonetically identical, an issue that goes away when analyzing a written list. A written list of subscribers may also reveal a shortening of the first name resolving the ambiguity (example: someone who goes by âCrisâ in daily life, where itâs just short for âCristinaâ), and if the full name is present, it may include a middle name that resolves the ambiguity.
If the ambiguity canât be resolved that way, then the algorithm could just estimate the popularity of the name for men vs. women. Overall, youâd have still have a margin of error, but Blizzard running an analysis of their subscriber list this way would probably give a much more reliable estimate of the male / female breakdown, way more reliable than an online survey.
For all we know, theyâve already done something like this for their marketing department. (If they havenât, seems like something a marketing department should ask for). The hilarious thing is that if, say, men are vastly more likely to play WoW, the current Blizzard marketing department is more likely to react not by going, âwe should approach men as our target demographic,â but instead by going, âThis is terrible! We need to get more women playing!â

This whole thread is countless men saying theyâre men asking for more muscular manly men characters lol
Maybe you think the women stand out because you think men are the âdefaultâ in video games so it doesnât even register for you.

I really wish that there were more heroic male characters this xpac.
Seems heroism (and being able to stay alive) is a female-only trait nowadays.
And yes, I want to be able to relate to characters in a video-game. WTF is the problem with that?

Google came back with Chris Metzen when I googled âWorld of Warcraft Market Guy.â
Still have no idea who youâre talking about.
I see we are going to need a whole new roll of bubble wrap.

Merrix is the mayor / constable. He has absolutely nothing to do with the market.
Only if your goal is to unlock the Earthen. And as soon as youâre done with that he has no purpose.

So his main story stuff doesnât matter I guess
Goal post moved again
And yea heâs involved with the market considering he has a whole quest chain around that as well, maybe read or actually do the quests before crying
Merrix is what we call a âjobber.â
He has no bearing on the main plot. His character exists to put up a wall around unlocking the new race. He could have gotten on a bus and left the plot for a month for all the difference itâd make.
If we gender flipped the expansion and you had Merrox, the bearded earthen woman, who only existed to unlock the Earthen race, youâd probably be miffed if people told you to be happy you got that.
